The module offers a comprehensive introduction to Advanced Time Series Modelling. You will learn various analytical tools to enable you to analyse financial data. The module expects prior skills in data analysis covered by the module Quantitative Finance (MANG6299) in the 1st semester. In addition, Students on the MSc Risk and Finance can choose this module but they will need to have taken MANG6003 Quantitative Methods in the first semester if they wish to do so.

This course aims to introduce some advanced techniques that hold potential for applications in the future generations of wireless communication systems. Currently, research and development in wireless communications is focused on the sixth generation (6G), which is expected to significantly enhance 5G in both techniques and services. This course will cover several candidate techniques designed to enable 6G wireless systems.

The course covers the various multiple access techniques such as OFDM, CDMA and SDMA. Next, it focuses on non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA), a technique that allows densely deployed users (or devices) to simultaneously transmit their information. Then, based on CDMA/SDMA, the module covers a range of techniques on interference mitigation.

Subsequently, the course addresses the principles of full-duplex communication, exploring the challenges of self-interference and corresponding self-interference cancellation techniques, as well as examining the potential of full-duplex for wireless system design.

Then, it introduces integrated sensing and communication (ISAC), providing several examples to explain the principles and illustrate the design trade-offs.

A review of the fundamentals of MIMO is then provided, followed by analysing the potential of MIMO for meeting the requirements of future wireless systems. A range of technical options for MIMO transceiver optimisation are discussed. Built on the above theoretical foundation, the course then covers the multi-user MIMO and massive MIMO, with the emphasis on their principles, characteristics, and implementation challenges. Afterwards, the module covers equalisation and multi-user detection.

Finally, the course covers millimeter wave (mmWave) communications. It begins with an overview of mmWave technology, then characterizes mmWave channels, highlighting key differences from conventional radio frequency (RF) communication channels. The course concludes with an introduction to several advanced techniques for the design and optimization of mmWave systems.
