[Eecs_phd] EE 4900/5900 Wireless Networking and the Internet of Things

[Hunter, Tiffany]

Hi all,

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: http://www.ohio.edu/people/chenji/ .

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.

Details:
* NO PREREQUISITES (even if the registration system says so)
* Counts as an elective
* MWF in ARC 146 from 10:45-11:40 AM (10:45a is not too early!)
* Required textbook (free): http://disc.ece.illinois.edu/downloads/vaidya-wireless-classnotes.pdf
* Recommended textbooks:
            - Wireless Communications & Networks by William Stallings (2nd edition is sufficient, available for < $5 on abebooks)
            - Computer Networking: A Top-Down Approach by James F. Kurose and Keith Ross
* One of the classes will have free pizza (during project or paper presentations).

Do email me if you have any questions or any ideas for topics you'd like to be covered.
