Communication Protocols for Mobile, Ad Hoc, and Wireless Sensors Networks

The aim of the course is to provide in-depth knowledge on architectural aspects and protocols for data communication in wireless computer networks. The course analyzes algorithms for the diffusion of data in vehicular networks (VANET), in wireless sensor networks (WSN) with both stationary and mobile nodes, and protocols for Internet-of-Things (IoT) infrastructures with focus also on applications in the Industry 4.0 field.

The student will acquire useful skills for identifying suitable solutions for the development of sensor networks according to the needs of the foreseen applications. The student will be able to work competently in companies that implement applications in the automotive, Internet-of-things and Industry 4.0 fields thanks to the knowledge of the main network standards.
