Learning outcomes
At the end of the course, students will be able to design wireless networks for the Internet of Things and, more in general, in the field of cyber-physical systems enabling the monitoring and control of physical processes. Specifically, they will study low-complexity wireless communications, network connectivity analysis tools, energy efficient networking and synchronization algorithms as well as distributed signal processing methods applied to wireless sensor networks.
Course contents
- Introduction to the requirements and technologies for the Internet of Things, with particular reference to wireless sensor networks.
- Short-range communication techniques - connectivity models - energy efficient routing and synchronization protocols.
- Distributed detection and estimation of physical entities.
- Bayesian methods for optimal estimation and tracking (Bayesian filters, Kalman filter).
- Case study examples and laboratory activity on the design of wireless networks.
Readings/Bibliography
The slides adopted during the frontal lesson will be made available to students through Internet.
The acquisition of dedicated books is not required.
Bibliography for further deepening:

Teaching methods
The course consists of 6 CFU of which 3 CFU of frontal lessons and 3 CFU (30 hours), of laboratory group experiences on projects identified by the students.
The laboratory is equipped with 5 development kits for wireless sensor networks.
The objective of practical activity is twofold:
- acquire confidence with typical development tools for wireless networks;
- acquire the skills to carry out individual and team design activities.
Assessment methods
A comprehensive oral exam will assess skills acquired during the course and during the group laboratory activity.
Optionally, students have the faculty to prepare and discuss a simulation project, previously agreed with the supervisor.
Teaching tools
The slides adopted during the frontal lesson will be made available to students through Internet.
Matlab environment.
Laboratory equipped with 5 development kits for wireless sensor networks.
