Course Goal / Objective
The aim of this course is to introduce the fundamental concepts of Internet of Things (IoT) systems and the operating principles of low-power wireless networks. The course covers sensor nodes, embedded systems, low-power and lossy network structures, IEEE 802.15.4-based communication, IoT-specific protocols such as 6LoWPAN and RPL, as well as the design, analysis, and performance evaluation of IoT systems.
Course Content
Concepts and architectures of Internet of Things (IoT), sensor nodes and embedded system structures, low-power wireless communication technologies, IEEE 802.15.4 standard and PHY/MAC layer characteristics, 6LoWPAN adaptation mechanisms, routing protocols for low-power and lossy networks (RPL), topology control and data collection methods, energy efficiency and power management techniques, network performance metrics (latency, packet delivery ratio, throughput), IoT application protocols and use cases, and analysis of IoT networks using simulation and modeling tools.
Course Precondition
No prerequisites.
