The course on Mobile Radio Propagation for 5G and Beyond will be held at the Institute for Communication Technologies, Technische Universität Braunschweig, in the framework of the European School of Antennas 2024 and COST Action INTERACT. The course will cover propagation aspects for cellular and vehicular communication. Starting with the basics of propagation, modern methods used in cellular network planning as well as aspects relevant for future 5G networks, e. g. MIMO, multi-link aspects, localisation, car2X and spectrum regulation are taught. The course includes also computer-based exercises. The teachers are from Technische Universität Braunschweig (DE), Dublin City University (IE), Lund University (SE), University of Bologna (IT) and the European Communications Office (DK).
