COE 545 - Wireless Sensor Networks

 

Course Description

Advanced development in wireless communication technologies as well as an increasing interest in applications that involve environment monitoring and control (e.g. wildfire habitat monitoring, structural control, health care and target tracking in military systems) has lead to the emergence of a new kind of wireless networks, namely Wireless Sensor Networks The objective of this course is to introduce students to the state of the art in wireless sensor actuator networks. Lectures will emphasize aspects of energy management, MAC protocols, routing and data aggregation, localization. Case studies from existing applications will be used.
