600.647 - Advanced Topics in Wireless Networks
Course Description
This class will survey current research in wireless communication
networks. These types of networks have been growing exponentially in the
past several years and include a host of different network types: ad hoc,
cell phone, access point, sensor, etc. The class will build understanding
of all layers of wireless networking and the interactions between them
(including: physical, data link, medium access control, routing,
transport, and application). The topics of security, energy efficiency,
mobility, scalability, and their unique characteristics in wireless
networks will be discussed. The class will be composed of two parts. In
the first part, several different lecturers (including guests from outside
of JHU) will provide an introduction to the field. The second part will be
structured as a research seminar with student presentations and class
discussions. Coursework for the class will be one of two options: two
individual presentations of a current research paper in the field, or a
team programming project.
Prerequisites: 600.344/444 & 600.363/463.

Presentation Instructions
The presentations should run for about 40 minutes to allow 10 minutes
of questions. They should be done in PowerPoint or other form of
electronic presentation format. Students may either bring their own
laptop, or should email in their presentation the day before. Each day
will have a specific presentation scheduled as well as a backup. Usually
this means that each student must be prepared to give their presentation
one class BEFORE their scheduled slot.
The rest of the students in the class will be responsible for reading
both the scheduled and backup papers for each day of class. Questions and
comments about the papers should also be prepared. An attendance sheet may
be passed around on the presentation days.
Anyone who has NOT signed up for a paper (or doesn't see their name and
paper on the list), must do so before class resumes on Wednesday the 24th
for the first presentation (there is no class 02/22 and 02/23).

Suggested Presentation Papers
The suggested papers have been divided up by
general topic area. Other papers are welcome, but should be run by TAs
first. The TAs can also help guide you in paper selection if you are
having difficulty.
