The objective of this course is to introduce Internet of Things (IoT) technologies with the focus on data communications and networking. The course consists of two complementary components, i.e., wireless communications and wireless networking to support IoT applications and systems. The wireless communications part includes the basics and concepts of wireless transmission technologies such as frequency, power consumption, wireless performance, mobility, wireless standards, medium access control protocols including fixed assignment and random access techniques. The wireless networking part includes the introduction and basics of wireless ad hoc routing, and cellular networks such as cellular system architecture, frequency reuse concept, hexagon geometry, co-channel interference, capacity expansion techniques. In addition to these two major components, the course will also discuss the IoT network architecture, IoT devices and IoT application use cases to provide comprehensive understandings of the entire IoT ecosystem. After attending this course, the students will be able to address the various technical challenges associated with wireless communications and networking to support IoT applications by solving such challenges using the principles learned. In addition, the students will be able to design and evaluate wireless communications and networking systems to support specific IoT applications. The concepts covered in this course are particularly important for those working in fields such as IoT network development, wireless IoT apps implementations, and mobile IoT services.
