Course Information

Intended learning outcomes

Present and explain fundamentals of sensor networks; explain MAC and routing protocols dedicated for sensor networks; explain and present mechanisms for time synchronization

Teaching methodology including the use of eLearning tools

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.
