Course Content: |
This is an introductory course to wireless systems. The course provides an overview of different wireless and mobile network standards and systems. It further covers the distinct characteristics of these wireless systems that require a fundamental redesign of protocols at layer 2 to layer 4 of the network protocol stack. This course involves the study of the impact of wireless network characteristics on existing network protocols and newer protocols that are suited to such characteristics. Protocols for medium access control, routing, and reliable transport, in addition to middleware and applications custom-made for wireless networks will be dealt with. The goal of this course is to impart state-of-the-art technologies of wireless networking and motivate students' interest in further studies of advanced courses in telecommunications. |
