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