L.079.05512, Winter 2014/2015
Content
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
Learning Outcome
The learning objective is to unserstand the fundamental concepts of networded embedded systems. Students understand these concepts and are able to apply this knowledge.
