Learning outcomes |
To understand fundamental concepts of physical, MAC and link layer protocols, naming and addressing, routing protocols, transport layer and quality of service (QoS) in wireless sensor and actuator networks (WSANs).
To know how to analyse the problem of the coverage of a vast zone by a WSAN. To analyse the dynamic voltage scaling and the power consumption versus lifetime for the WSN nodes. To know how to determine the impact of the signal-to-noise ratio in the bit error rate. To interpret the characteristics of the medium access and control (MAC) protocols whilst identifying energy efficient MAC procedures. To know how to apply error detection and correction codes. To apply concepts of naming and addressing in WSANs, distinguishing content and geographic based routing. To analyse the most common routing protocols applied in WSNs.
