FIT3167 is a core unit in the Mobile Systems major offered in South Africa only. This unit will be offered for the first time in 2019.

21 June 2018. Revising Learning Outcomes on behalf of CE to AQF standards as original ones were low level objectives Johan sent revised Learning outcomes and requested to add in Monatar.

24/9/19: Admin - updating the exam duration to include additional 10 minutes as per University requirement.

4/5/2020: As the MSA course 4307 Bachelor of Computer and Information Sciences is in teach-out, the MSA offering of this unit has been re-coded to FZA3167 effective Semester 2, 2020. These units will be managed by South Africa and therefore no separate Monatar entries will be made

07/10/2020 Admin: Update to include new assessment and teaching approach fields as per Handbook requirements.

19/11/2020: Admin - this unit was disestablished at FEC 5/20 on 12/11/2020 as it is no longer required.

FIT3167 is a core unit in the Mobile Systems major. Mobile devices have outgrown the PC market, while the knowledge and skills required to understand mobiles differ extensively enough to warrant a unit that specializes in this domain. This unit will be an advanced unit that will cover important concepts in more depth, as well as integrate knowledge and skills acquired through the other units of the major.

1. Explain and apply advanced concepts related to mobile data, content storage, management, networking and interfaces to mobile systems
2. Integrate knowledge and skills related to mobile standards, networks, data management, and pervasive and ubiquitous computing in designing mobile system solutions
3. Demonstrate solutions and selection of appropriate tools to solve various challenges of wireless communications, such as mobility, security, quality of service, resource allocation, interference, inter-operability, spectrum management
4. Explain advanced concepts of the Internet of Things
5. Propose applications and design mobile systems that implement concepts of the Internet of Things

The Mobile Communications 2 unit consolidates concepts of the field and covers topics in more depth. The unit's main focus is on the latest developments of pervasive and ubiquitous computing that make possible the Internet of Things, and how humans interface with this new world. The challenges of wireless communications, such as mobility, security, quality of service, resource allocation, interference, inter-operability, spectrum management will be covered. The following themes will be addressed: application architectures, user applications, enterprise integration, markup languages. More advanced mobile database concepts and advanced network concepts will be covered. The changing landscape of input and output devices and techniques (such as gestures and projected screens) will also be covered.

As per Unit Guide.
