MOBILE AND WIRELESS NETWORKING

COMPSCI/ECE 707
Course Description

Design and implementation of protocols, systems, and applications for mobile and wireless networking, particularly at the media access control, network, transport, and application layers. Focus is on the unique problems and challenges presented by the properties of wireless transmission, various device constraints such as limited battery power, and node mobility. Knower of computer networking is strongly encouraged, such as fromCOMP SCI 640orE C E 537.
