TLEN 5520/ECEN 5032 - Wireless Data Networks

Timothy X Brown, Spring 2008

What is this course about?
In this course, you will learn about designing and building wireless data networks. We will explore the reasons that make wireless data networks special compared to what you learned in previous data networks courses. The course will give theoretical, practical, and hands-on understanding of these issues. The course will consist of lectures combined with discussions of research papers; and homeworks/labs that will develop useful tools. The centerpiece will be a semester long team project in which you will work in depth on particular aspect of wireless data networks.

What do I need to take this course?
You will need to have taken a data networks course such as TLEN 5330 Data Communication I, CSCI 5273 Network Systems,or ECEN 5032 Communication Networks. You will need to be comfortable working with Linux and have some basic programming skills. Courses such as TLEN 5460 Telecommunication Systems Lab, TLEN 5832 Telecommunications Programming, or TLEN 5834 Network Programming are useful, but not necessary. If you are a distance learning student we will make as much of the hands-on work available to you as possible. When not possible alternatives will be provided.
