Learning outcomes

Participants know the architecture of wireless sensor networks. They can select and classify protocols for different applications. Participants can design and understand complex protocols. They understand the connection between physical impacts on communication and necessary technical means to keep the network alive. They can design own networks and argue about the design decisions. They can judge about future developments.

Assessment

Prerequisite: • Successful completion of exercise assignments Final module examination: • Written examination, 90 min. OR • Oral examination, 30 min. (with small number of participants) In the first lecture it will be anounced, if the examination will be offered in written or oral form.
