Mobile Technologies

Teaching Methodologies

The teaching of the curricular unit will be divided into three parts: a theoretical part with the exhibition and explanation of the theoretical foundations, a practical part with resolution of exercises, and a laboratory part with the use of equipment and software that consolidates the learning results.

Learning Results

This curriculum unit aims to focus on the most relevant wireless streaming technologies currently existing, and the development of mobile applications based on the Android operating system. Wireless wireless networks (e.g. GSM, UMTS, 4G, 5G), wireless local area networks (e.g. IEEE 802.11), wireless personal area networks (IEEE 802.15), and wireless broadcast systems (e.g. DVB and DAB) stand out.

Students who successfully complete this curriculum unit will be left with the most important wireless streaming technologies currently existing, and with the development of mobile applications.
