Wireless and mobile networks experienced a continuous growth during the last years and are expected to provide more and more services in the near future. Development of wireless communication systems requires solving several challenging problems. This course covers both theoretical issues related to wireless networking and practical systems for both wireless data networks and cellular wireless telecommunication systems. Students will also work on a project that addresses some recent research issues in wireless and mobile networking.
