Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) have a few characteristics that make them fundamentally different from otherwise similar networks such as Mobile ad-hoc networks (MANETs).

This course will present some of the most common problems, challenges and algorithmic solutions encountered with Sensor Nets.

• Hardware platforms.
• Typical applications.
• Data-link layer algorithms:
  • Topology discovery and maintenance.
  • Distributed node localisation.
  • Time synchronisation
• Network layer algorithms:
  • Routing.
  • Resource management (energy, frequency, transmission power, duty-cycling).
  • Base station mobility.
• High-level applications:
  • Intrusion detection.
  • Target tracking.
  • Distributed data-base.

• Handbook of Sensor Networks: Compact Wireless and Wired Sensing Systems, Mohammad Ilyas and Imad Mahgoub.
• Protocols and Architectures for Wireless Sensor Networks, Karl Holger and Andreas Willig.
• Topology Control in Wireless Ad Hoc and Sensor Networks, Paolo Santi.
• Wireless Sensor Networks: An Information Processing Approach, Feng Zhao and Leonidas Guibas
• Wireless Sensor Networks, Technology, Protocols and Applications, Kazem Sohraby, Daniel Minoli and Taieb Znati.
