Learning outcomes
The course gives elements for the analysis and design of wireless sensor networks for environmental monitoring. The analysis and design of signal processing and communications techniques are carried out through the development of MATLAB software routines, while the design of wireless sensor networks is based on experiments on a real platform. During the class, the course gives basic knowledge of digital signal processing and transmission of data towards a more complete view of a wireless sensor networks. The laboratory exercises allow the student to practise with software tools (like the MATLAB platform) as well as hardware (SDR platform) necessary to environmental monitoring.

Teaching methods
The course, subdivided in lectures and laboratory follows a basic methodology that consists in: problem view, its mathematical formulation and solution, laboratory simulation (MATLAB) and experimentation (SDR platform).
Assessment methods
During the course, students (divided into groups) carry out some laboratory exercises and write short reports. The final exam consists in a laboratory test and one or more questions on theoretical aspects.
Teaching tools
The course consists in many laboratory exercises to learn basic aspects of signal processing and transmission of information by simulation with MATLAB. There are also several experiments on a real software defined radio platform.
