Learning outcomes
Students acquire skills in the design of energy efficient wireless
sensor networks (WSN) using low complexity wireless nodes. They
know the main short-range wireless technologies as well as the
methodologies for their adoption in WSNs from the physical layer up
to the upper layers including distributed signal processing
techniques for physical phenomena detection and estimation.
Course contents
Introduction to wireless sensor networks and relative
applications with emphasis to environmental monitoring.
Main requirements for the design of a wireless sensor network.
Short-range communication techniques - connectivity models - energy
efficient routing and synchronization protocols. Technologies and
standards (e.g., Zigbee, IEEE802.15.4a). Distributed detection and
estimation of physical entities. Elements of simulation of wireless
networks: Monte Carlo method. Case studies in laboratory using
dedicated hardware.
