Objectives and competences
The goal of this course is to gain the main knowledge about wireless sensor networks with their special properties (different processing and power capabilities).
Teaching and learning methods
Lectures, numerical exercises and oral presentations. Special attention is given to active study and laboratory work.
Expected study results
Knowledge and understanding:
After successful completion of the course, students should be able to:
-
understand the principles of sensor networks,
-
use time synchronization techniques,
-
determine the position of the sensor in the space,
-
design a simple topology of the sensor network,
-
use an appropriate routing protocol,
-
select the appropriate transport protocol,
-
distinguish between data and content-oriented networks.
Application: Use of sensor networks in various scenarios (industry, general data acquisition, intelligent home,…).
Reflection: Learning and understanding the correlation between theory and its application to specific scenarios of sensor network use.
Transferable skills: Solving other conceptually related problems from the fields of communication and data acquisition.
