Course Description: Wireless and mobile systems have become ubiquitous; playing a significant role in our everyday life. However, the increasing demand for wireless connectivity and the emergence of new areas such as the Internet of Things has led to new wireless technologies. This course gives an overview of wireless network architectures including cellular networks, local area networks, multi-hop wireless networks such as ad hoc networks, mesh networks, and sensor networks; capacity of wireless networks; medium access control, routing protocols, and transport protocols for wireless networks; mechanisms to improve performance and security in wireless networks; energy-efficient protocols for sensor networks. Due to unprecedented surge in COVID-19 cases, the course will be taught online through Zoom. We will consider moving to in person lectures if the cases subside and all students feel comfortable and safe coming to class. In the meantime, students are expected to attend the live lectures and ask questions. However, in case of a conflict with another class or being in a differnet `time zone, all lectures will be recorded and made available to students via Piazza.
