Lectures:
Tuesday and Thursday: 14:35-15:50, Packard Lab 360, January 17 - April 27, 2006.
Prerequisite:
CSE404 (Computer Networks) or Instructor's permission.
Course Objective:
After you complete this course, you should be able to: list various applications of wireless sensor networks, describe the concepts, protocols, and differences underlying the design, implementation, and use of wireless sensor networks, and propose, implement, and evaluate new ideas for solving wireless sensor network design issues.
Course Description:
This course discusses protocols and architectures for wireless sensor network design. It covers wireless sensor node and network architectures, and communication protocols in data-link, network, and transport layers. The course will discusses focused topics for wireless sensor networks such as time synchronization, localization, and topology management.
¡¡
Hands-on group projects on using ns-2 (or other popular network simulators) to simulate wireless sensor networks or nesC to program Crossbow wireless sensors will be included.
Textbook:
No textbook. Papers and materials will be handed out.

Submitting Work:
You should submit your work through the Blackboard course website. Your submission should be plain text (ASCII), a Microsoft Word file, or a PDF file. Any other format will not be accepted, unless you arrange for
an exception ahead of time due to special circumstances.
Homework assignments will be graded primarily for completeness and correctness.
No late hand-in homework will be accepted. Exceptions will only be granted if an extenuating circumstance can be proven to the instructor¡¯s satisfaction.
Collaboration / Academic Honesty:
All graded work is expected to be your own, unless the instructor has authorized collaboration in writing. In particular, you are not allowed to ask anyone but the instructor or TA for help with your homework or programming assignments. However, you are free to discuss the topics and concepts of the course with your classmates, as long as you do not discuss the specifics of any assignment. Any violation of this policy could result in failure of the course.
