Course Description
Mobile wireless networks have many characteristics which render protocols designed for wired networks inapplicable. In this course we will cover different approaches towards networking in mobile wireless networks, as well as specific applications and uses of these networks. This course is a survey of the state of the art in mobile computing, and as such will cover protocols which are currently being deployed for wireless networks, as well as many which are still in the research stages.
