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.

In this module you will develop your understanding of advances in cancer care that are transforming the landscape of cancer diagnostics and treatments impacting on:
- patient outcomes and experience
- cancer services and workforce

You will critically explore developments in areas such as cancer diagnostics, genomics, and personalised treatments. This analysis will consolidate your understanding of current approaches as you explore technologies and practices of the future. The module will focus on the implications of advances in care for people living with and beyond cancer. Advances will be explored with reference to the wider socio-political, economic, and cultural influences within this complex and inter-professional context.

It would be an advantage to have an understanding of the fundamentals of cancer care and treatment before commencing this module.

This module is particularly suitable for health professionals working in cancer care and is aligned with the Aspirant Cancer Career and Education Development programme (ACCEND) education framework.

This module has been developed in collaboration with Wessex Cancer Alliance.
