<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Georgia","serif"">Hi all,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Georgia","serif""><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Georgia","serif"">I would like to announce a new EE 4900/5900 Spring16 course (open for registration right now) about wireless & mobile systems, as well as the Internet of Things (which, to be
honest, is a marketing term for wireless and mobile systems). This is my active area of research - you can find more about me here:

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Georgia","serif""><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Georgia","serif"">This course will cover a smorgasbord of topics such as WiFi/Zigbee/Bluetooth, wireless channel & link models, medium access control protocols, Routing protocols, HTTP2, TCP over
wireless, networkg protocol design and security, free space optical communications etc. A few research papers may be presented in class by the enrolled graduate students. I am considering a project in lieu of an exam, with grad+undergrad team combinations.
