Course plan
Lectures
20 hours of lectures in two 2-day intensive sessions. Seminar discussions of research papers.
Recommended for
PhD students satisfying the prerequisites.
The course was last given
New course.
Goals
To obtain familiarity with the key concepts of wireless sensor
networks, with an emphasis on communication protocols.
Prerequisites
Computer science and engineering or electrical
engineering Masters degree.
Contents
Introduction to Wireless Sensor Networks: principles and applications.
Basics of low-power wireless communication and its implications.
Networking protocols: medium access and routing.
Organization
The course will combine lectures and in-class discussions of research
papers. The specific organization will depend on the number of
participants.
Maximum number of participants around 8, and minimum should be what CUGS
considered worthwhile for reimbursing the costs.

Comments
We need to purchase the platform for the exercise which is estimated to be
16-20 Motes for 8 participants (e.g. CrossBow's TelosB nodes at ~150USD per
node).
RTSLAB will cover the travelling expenses of the lecturer from the course
proceedings. Additional support for the lab platform is requested from
IDA/CUGS.
