Introduction to Wireless Networking

Course Description

An introductory, systems-level approach to wireless networks covering basic physical-layer aspects of wireless communications as well as implications in the medium access control (MAC), networking and application layers. Topics include channel and rate modeling, interference and spatial reuse, auto repeat request (ARQ), quality of service, random access, scheduling, security, mobility and intermittent communication. Overviews and examples from state-of-the-art cellular and wireless local area networks (LAN) standards as well as modern multimedia applications will be provided. There will be a lab component to complement the lecture material. The course is designed as a first course in wireless networks for students both intending to specialize in wireless communications as well as students who are interested in the consequences of wireless communications in other areas including multimedia delivery, networking and mobile applications." | Prerequisite: An undergraduate course on networks equivalent to ECE-GY 3613, or ECE-GY 6353 or its equivalent. Prerequisites: An undergraduate course on networks equivalent to ECE-UY 3613, or ECE-GY 6353 or its equivalent.
