The objective of this course is 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
