MHRD/AICTE Staff Development Programme 2010-Wireless Ad Hoc/Sensor Networks-IIT-Kharagpur
ALL INDIA COUNCIL FOR TECHNICAL EDUCATION, New Delhi is sponsoring a MHRD/AICTE Staff Development Programme On Wireless Ad Hoc and Sensor Networks and organized by School of Information Technology, Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur for the year 2010
Wireless communication technologies are undergoing rapid advancements. The last few years have experienced a steep growth in teaching and research in the areas of wireless ad hoc and sensor networks. These networks have emerged to be attractive in many civilian and military applications and they hold great promises for our future.
The attractiveness of ad hoc networks, in general, is attributed to their characteristics/features such as ability for infrastructure-less setup, minimal or no reliance on network planning and the ability of the nodes to self-organize and self-configure without the involvement of a centralized network manager, router, access point, or a switch. These features help to setup a network fast in situations where there is no existing network setup or in times when setting up a fixed infrastructure network is considered infeasible, for example, in times of emergency or during relief operations. Likewise, sensor networks, wherein communication takes place with the help of spatially distributed autonomous sensor nodes equipped to sense specific information, have emerged to be very popular. They find a variety of applications in both the military and the civilian population worldwide such as in cases of enemy intrusion in the battlefield, object tracking, habitat monitoring, patient monitoring, fire detection and so on
This course will provide a foundation of fundamental and some advanced concepts in these areas. Broadly, the following topics will be covered during the training program:
Mobile Ad Hoc Networks: History, properties, medium access control, routing including multicating and broadcasting, mobility models, transport layer issues, congestion and flow control, quality of service, security issues.
Wireless Sensor Networks: History, properties, medium access control, routing, energy efficiency, topology management, coverage, congestion and flow control, quality of service, resource allocation, scheduling, security, multimedia transmission, mobile sensor networks, applications.
Wireless Mesh Networks: Evolution, medium access control, channel assignment, routing, transport protocols, congestion control, scalability, mobility management, applications.
Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks: Introduction, applications and their classification, VANET communication stack, medium access control, routing, security, mobility models, vehicular sensor networks.
