Wireless Networking and Mobile Computing (252-0293)

The course combines the lectures with a set of assignments in which students are asked to work with a Java simulation software, some Matlab scripts, and embedded systems.

The objective of the course is to learn about the general principles of wireless communications, including physics, frequency spectrum regulation, and standards. Further, the standards and protocols used for wireless LAN IEEE 802.11 (Wi-Fi 6+), IEEE 802.15 (Bluetooth), IoT and 5G networks, and short range audio- and visible light communication are analyzed and evaluated.

We discuss topics from telecommunications industry, toy and consumer electronics industry, and medical technology.

Students develop their own add-on mobile computing algorithms to control the behavior of the systems in the presence of resource competition, using a Java-based event-driven simulator. We also hand out embedded systems that can be used for experiments for optical communication.
