Course Description
An ad-hoc network is an infrastructure-less wireless network that can be formed spontaneously. These networks are mainly used by researchers, emergency services and military. A mobile ad-hoc network (MANET), is a type of ad hoc network that can change locations and configure itself spontaneously. On a MANET mobile devices communicate directly with one another. MAC layer protocols, routing protocols, multicast routing protocols, transport layer routing protocols, energy management in ad hoc wireless networks and recent developments in mobile ad-hoc networks will form the main concept of this course. Recent publications and researches about MANETs will be discussed throughout the semester

 

General Learning Outcomes

On successful completion of this course students should be able to:

  • understand the recent protocols used in any layer of mobile ad-hoc networks.
  • know about the hot topics that are suitable for making research
  • know about the design issues of each protocol layer for mobile ad hoc networks
  • make research about publications on any topic.

 

Teaching Methodology / Classroom Procedures
  • The course has three hours of lectures in a week.
  • Class attendance is compulsory.
  • Only one make-up exam will be given for the missing exams.
  • Make-up exam will be given after the final exams.
  • No make-up will be given for the project.
  • Students are supposed to submit the assigned tasks on time.
  • Course related materials will be posted on the course web site.

Requirements
  • Each student can have only one make-up exam. One who misses an exam should provide a medical report within 3 days after the missed exam. The make-up exam will be organized at the end of the term after the finals and will cover all the topics. No make-up exam will be given for any assignment.
  • Once the grades are announced, the students have only one week to do objection about their grades.
  • It is the students' responsibility to follow the announcement in the course web site.
  • Students who do not pass the course and fail to attend the lectures regularly may be given NG grade.
