Course Objectives The aim of this course is to teach the fundamentals of ongoing scientific research on wireless sensor networks and the fundamentals of data processing on wireless sensor networks. Wireless sensor networks have grown in popularity over the past few years. This area has many potential applications, such as remote inspection of natural parks, civil engineering, security applications and smart transport applications. Having knowledge about the working principles and application areas of wireless sensor networks will positively contribute to the students studying in the field of computer science. Topics to be covered are the main application areas of wireless sensor networks, packet routing, positioning, topology control, security and simulation.
Learning Outcomes The students who succeeded in this course;
  • recognize the application areas of wireless sensor networks,
  • analyze routing algorithms used in wireless sensor networks and the differences between them,
  • analyze topology and power control algorithms,
  • understand Security requirements of sensor networks,
  • understand simulation approaches to sensor networks.
Course Description The course will cover Sensor network Architecture ,Operating Systems, Physical Layer , Medium Access Control, Network Layer, Power Management, Time Synchronization, Localization, Security, Sensor Network Simulation.
