Course Description

Wireless networks are inevitable and ubiquitous in the modern world, from public wireless networks offering wireless voice and Internet services to a wide range of consumers to niche deployments of military ad hoc networks or closed communications systems of particular public or private institutions. The course will give a broad picture of the emergent forms of wireless networks. This figure will elaborate on the physical elements required to build the network, the basic topologies, and the planning procedures.

Forms of Teaching

Lectures

Lectures present theoretical concepts, existing mathematical models and examples from practice.

Exercises

Classroom exercises allow the application of concepts from lectures in solving practical examples.

Partial e-learning

e-learning will be used in self-solving tasks on the computer, through teaching materials available on the website of the course, through ad hoc consultations via video call and e-mail, and through the use of available literature in electronic form.

Independent assignments

Independent tasks deepen understanding and develop independence in solving practical problems.

Laboratory

The laboratory complements the development of problem-solving skills through self-contained and team solving of more complex computer problems.
