Networked Embedded Systems

Discription

The objective of this course is to gain insights into the operation and programming of embedded systems. A strong focus is on wireless sensor networks. We study the fundamentals of such sensor networks. In the scope of the exercises, we discuss selected topics in more detail.

• Design and architecture of embedded systems: Architecture of embedded systems, programming paradigms
• Sensor networks: Principles and applications
• Wireless communications: Concepts of modulation and encoding on the physical layer
• Wireless access: Typical medium access protocols for low-power sensor nodes
• Routing: Ad hoc routing and data centric communication
• Clustering: Clustering algorithms, guaranteed connectivity
• Localization: Ranging techniques, localization algorithms

Learning Outcome: The learning objective is to understand the fundamental concepts of networked embedded systems. Students understand these concepts and are able to apply this knowledge.
