  Area of Education: Technology

Main field of studies: Electrical Engineering

  Advancement level (G1, G2, A): A

Aim:
This course intends to provide knowledge of wireless sensor network communication. Especially two protocols are introduced in detail: IEEE802.15.4 and ZigBee. This course also presents hands-on experience of designing wireless sensor network remote monitoring and control system.
After completing the course, the students should be able to
  • show the system requirements when designing a wireless sensor network
  • explain the hardware architectures of different devices included in the wireless sensor network
  • use wireless remote monitoring and control system design
  • design design using state machine
  • study the â?oMedia Access Control" layer based on IEEE 802.15.4 standard
  • explain the message frame format utilized in the ZigBee network
  • introduce the Application layer of ZigBee protocol
  • describe the ZigBee protocol management procedure by explaining the â?oZigBee device object" component
  • explain the â?oAd hoc On-Demand Distance Vector (AODV)" routing algorithm utilized in wireless network message routing.


  • Prerequisites: (valid for students admitted to programmes within which the course is offered)
    C-programming, basic electronic circuit theory.

    Note: Admission requirements for non-programme students usually also include admission requirements for the programme and threshhold requirements for progression within the programme, or corresponding.

    Organisation:
    Lectures, labs and project work. Labs and project work are mandatory and will be presented orally and in writing.
