This advanced graduate networking course is designed to introduce in detail the basic knowledge of wireless transmissions and medium access, and various existing wireless networks (cellular, WiFi, WiMAX, broadcast). In the second half, we will also cover several hot trends in wireless technologies.

This course will be lecture-based and we strongly encourage in-class discussions. Students will review 2-3 papers each week and submit their reviews. There will be a mid-term exam, and a final project/report.

We will provide candidate project topics. Students can also propose their own projects. The projects can be either design, simulation, experimentation, or analysis oriented.

Prerequisites:
1) Have taken at least one graduate-level systems or networking course (e.g. CS276), or an in-depth undergraduate networking course (e.g. CS176C)
2) Experience in doing team software projects of reasonable size/complexity
