Advanced Networks

This is an advanced course in communication networks that builds upon the CIT-606 core course (Fundamentals of Networking) to develop understanding of fundamental networking concepts as well as state-of-the-art wireless networking architectures. The course focuses on multiple access, routing and congestion control. In addition, selected topics pertaining to cellular networks, Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs), mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) and wireless sensor networks (WSNs) will be studied. Time permitting, the topics will include admission control, IEEE 802.11 standard and its variants, scheduling, routing protocols and energy.
