| Course Description: | We will study the new field of sensor networking using research papers
as the primary reading material. The classes will be lecture oriented
with me giving all the lectures. There will be 2 exams and several
written assignments.
The topics we will cover include applications of sensor networks, MAC
design, energy efficiency issues, routing and transport protocols for
these networks, and some security issues.
I expect students to have taken a networking class so that I do not have
to explain the various terms used above. Some papers also involve
matehmatical derivations using probabilities etc., I expect students to
be able to follow along. Otherwise, it should be a fun class describing
some new emerging technology. |
