Learning outcomes

After passing the course a participant will be able to

  • use suitable principles and standards (e.g. IEEE 802.15.4 and ZigBee) in design and evaluation of sensor networks and wireless communication protocols for small digital transmitters.
  • demonstrate an ability to read, critically evaluate, analyse and present (verbally or in written form) the content and implications of research articles in the area.

Content

Programming of embedded systems on exemples of sensor nodes, distributed algorithms, radio communication (propagation and modulation), energy efficiency, communication protocols for wireless systems.

Instruction

Lectures, seminars, and labs.

Assessment

Written exam (3,5 credits), written and oral examination of labs (1,5 credits).

Other directives
