The course covers all protocol layers, with an emphasis on medium access control and network layer topics. The course presents concepts and specific standards for wireless personal area networks, including Bluetooth and IEEE 802.15, wireless local area networks, including the IEEE 802.11 family of standards, and wireless metropolitan area networks, including cellular systems and IEEE 802.16. The course also describes concepts and specific methods that enable mobile networking, including Mobile IP, and mobile ad-hoc network (MANET) routing protocols. The course also introduces emerging systems that utilize wireless networking, such as sensor networks and pervasive computing. Prerequisites Introductory knowledge of network protocols and architectures, especially the Internet Protocol suite. Course Objectives Describe the effects of radio frequency communication and mobility on protocol and system design Describe the operation of common medium access control schemes and indicate their relative strengths and weaknesses Enumerate the characteristics and analyze the operation of contemporary wireless network technologies such as Bluetooth wireless personal area networks, IEEE 802.11 wireless local area networks, and IEEE 802.16 wireless metropolitan area networks Describe and analyze the operation of the TCP/IP protocol suite, including Mobile IP, in a mobile environment Explain the challenges of routing in mobile ad hoc networks and analyze how routes are computed using common reactive and proactive MANET routing protocols List security problems in wireless networks and describe and analyze current solutions to these problems Describe how wireless networking is used by sensor networks and pervasive computing systems Describe challenges in implementing applications on mobile wireless devices and list design approaches for client-server and peer-to-peer computing Technical Requirements There are no additional software or application requirements for this course.
