Course
Calendar (will include all handouts)
This course covers both the theory and practice of wireless networking. We will begin by studying the fundamentals of wireless communications (roughly a third of the course). We will then study widely-used wireless local area network standards and TCP/IP extensions for mobile and wireless networking (another third). The final third of the course will be devoted to the active research areas of multihop ad hoc networks and sensor networks. Topics covered will include
W. Stallings, Wireless Communications and Networks, Prentice Hall, 2nd Edition, 2005
This textbook will be followed for the first half of the course. The material on multihop and sensor networks will be taken from surveys, research papers, and other collections.
