Abstract :
Simulation in Information Technology is a course on system simulation that is offered by the Department of Information Technology to graduate students which are majoring in communications engineering. The course imparts a fundamental knowledge of simulation tools and of mobile communication systems. The simulation tool which is used in the course is COSSAP (Communication Systems Simulation and Analysis Package) and the considered communication system is GSM (Global System for Mobile communications). The authors give an introduction into COSSAP, into GSM and especially into the course structure. In addition, some simulation results are given, i.e. the improvement of soft decision decoding versus hard decision decoding
