Intended learning outcomes

This course intends to provide knowledge of wireless sensor network communication. Especially two protocols are introduced in detail: IEEE802.15.4 and ZigBee. This course also presents hands-on experience of designing wireless sensor network remote monitoring and control system.

•Show the system requirements when designing a wireless sensor network
•Explain the hardware architectures of different devices included in the wireless sensor network
•Wireless remote monitoring and control system design
•Software design using state machine
•Study the “Media Access Control” layer based on IEEE 802.15.4 standard
•Explain the message frame format utilized in the ZigBee network
•Introduce the Application layer of ZigBee protocol
•Show the ZigBee protocol management procedure by explaining the “ZigBee device object” component
•Explain the “Ad hoc On-Demand Distance Vector (AODV)” routing algorithm utilized in wireless network message routing.

Regulations (apply to LiU in its entirety)

The university is a government agency whose operations are regulated by legislation and ordinances, which include the Higher Education Act and the Higher Education Ordinance. In addition to legislation and ordinances, operations are subject to several policy documents. The Linköping University rule book collects currently valid decisions of a regulatory nature taken by the university board, the vice-chancellor and faculty/department boards.

LiU’s rule book for education at first-cycle and second-cycle levels is available at http://styrdokument.liu.se/Regelsamling/Innehall/Utbildning_pa_grund-_och_avancerad_niva.
