Abstract

Cellular mobile communication (CMC) is one of the fastest growing sectors in telecommunication industry worldwide. The users of CMC increased rapidly in the last two decades globally. To address the high demand of CMC services, hands-on experienced workforce is a prerequisite that are primarily supposed to be provided by the universities. However, because most universities lack heavily from sufficient funding, resources, and facilities, it is difficult to setup physical laboratory of CMC to provide students with hands-on experiences. This huge investment for physical setup can be saved by developing a virtual environment using MATLAB software tools. With a soft CMC laboratory, students can model many features of CMC, analyze and evaluate the performance in both link and system level. In this paper, we present a novel MATLAB based CMC laboratory course that comprises a total of ten experiments. The laboratory was offered in fall 2012 at American International University-Bangladesh (AIUB) for three sections each with a group of 40 students. The student’s comments on understanding, achieved knowledge, overall satisfaction, importance of the laboratory course, and any changes on the existing course content are documented and assessed.
