Course Description

In this course we will concentrate more on wireless sensor networks. This course will cover leading edge topics in Wireless Sensor Networks. The goal of this course in to give an overview of fundamental problems in the area of Wireless Sensor Networks and study the existing solutions for some of these problems. Data aggregation, information dissemination, security issues, power management, localization are some of the topics that will be covered in this course. The course students will be assigned projects that will involve implementation on Mica2 motes.



Prerequisite:
  • Should have completed undergraduate level courses on Operating Systems and Networking concepts
  • Experience with c and java programming under UNIX/LINUX operating system
