Catalog Description
Introduction to the most recent advanced Mobile Ad hoc Networks (MANETs) routing protocols. The course will cover all the issues that are related to design protocols such as scheduling, capacity, medium access, QoS, topology control, and mobility tracking. In addition, modeling techniques as well as delay models will be covered using Linear Programming.
Project work will require computer
usage. Students might use special packages that are available in the department
to carry out their project simulations or to process their experimental data.
Some simulation programs available in the COE department such as OpNet, Matlab
and others or programming language such as Java and C++ can be used in the
project work.
