一、課程簡介 (Overview):
This is an intermediate networking course designed for students with computer networks background. The goal is to provide students with a broad perspective on the active research areas in wireless ad hoc networks, and in the process leads them toward exploring their research experiences. As a research-oriented course, it focuses on in-class lectures and discussions, as well as hands-on assignments and projects using network simulation tools. Topics covered in this course include:
(1) Overview (physical layer technologies and applications)
(2) Connectivity and topology control
(3) Network capacity
(4) Modeling and simulation
(5) Medium access control and packet scheduling
(6) Routing
(7) Reliable transport
(8) Cross layering
(9) Energy awareness
(10)Quality of service
(11)Collaboration and security
(12)Ad-hoc and cellular integration
