Course Information

Intended learning outcomes

  • Present and explain fundamentals of sensor networks; 
  • Understand and explain hardware and software aspects of sensor networks; 
  • Understand and explain communication aspects for sensor networks (i.e., MAC and routing protocols); 
  • Understand and explain mechanisms for time synchronization
  • Discuss applications of sensor networks

Teaching methodology

Lecture supplemented by a dedicated lab course. Presentation of selected topics by students

Course content

Due to the advances in electronics and (wireless) communication, the development of networks of low-cost, low-power, multi-functional sensors has received increasing attention. These sensor networks are a new type of networked, embedded computing systems and are expected to become a key technology for many pervasive computing applications. This lecture covers the fundamental concepts of sensor networks, including hard- and software architectures, networking aspects, power-awareness, security and sensor fusion. The lecture is complemented by student talks on selected, application-oriented topics. In an related lab course ("Pervasive Computing Lab"), students can get hands-on experience in developing sensor network applications. 

Topics

  • Introduction to Sensor Networks
  • Sensor Fundamentals, Hardware Platforms, Power Supply
  • Sensor Network OS and Middleware Systems, Programming Models and Abstractions
  • Network Architectures
  • MAC Protocols
  • Routing Protocols
  • Synchronization
  • Sensor Fusion
  • Web of Things
  • Visual Sensor Networks
  • Security and Privacy in Sensor Network
  • Sensor Network Applications

Literature

Slides and additional material will be provided.

Examination information

Im Fall von online durchgeführten Prüfungen sind die Standards zu beachten, die die technischen Geräte der Studierenden erfüllen müssen, um an diesen Prüfungen teilnehmen zu können.

Examination methodology

The examination consists of two parts:

  • Preparation and presentation of an assigned topic (approx. 20 minutes)
  • Oral exam  

Both parts must be successfully completed to pass the examination. One compensation is offered to students who failed in either of these examination parts.

Examination topic(s)

Topics of the lecture and the student presentations.

Example questions are available on the course website.

Assessment criteria / Standards of assessment for examinations
