Sensor networks and mobile ad-hoc computer systems rely on wireless communication architectures for data and control operations. Rapid advances in the miniaturization and computational power of computer and communication devices enable the widespread use of these systems. However, the use of these systems raises many new challenges in distributed system and network design and implementation. This course covers a selection of these topics, including issues in data-link management, ad-hoc and energy aware routing protocols, transport layer protocols, data management and security. The course is conducted as a research seminar, and significant student participation is expected.
