Acknowledgments
The lecture slides for the first 8 lectures are largely based on those prepared by William Stallings, material provided by Prof. Guevara Noubir, slides provided by Schiller based on his Mobile Communications text, and material developed during the last two instances of this course. The slides on ad hoc network routing are largely based on a tutorial by Prof. Nitin Vaidya. Material for the ad hoc networks and the sensor networks component of the course is partially supported by NSF IIS-0330201 "SENSORS: Data driven sensor networks".
