ENGG 4200

This course focuses on the fundamentals behind the design of wireless sensor networks. Topics include node architecture, operating systems, prototypes and applications for wireless sensor networks. The course emphasizes basic architectural framework including physical layer, medium access control layer and network layer. It also covers network management topics such as power management, time synchronization and localization. The course has a number of experiments with sensor network software and hardware. The primary focus of the experiments is to give students hands-on programming experience with various microcontrollers and sensing platforms. [Restriction(s): Non-BENG students may take a maximum of 4.00 ENGG credits.][Department(s): Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering]
