[Important] This course is only for master's students who have basic knowledge about TCP/IP networks.
Please refrain from taking if you have few knowledge about this fields.
In this course, the design and analysis of the wireless network for the emergency and/or disaster communication which is necessary to safe and secure life are treated.
Necessary knowledge and the skill are acquired as a network engineer by actually simulating the difference of wired and wireless MAC, the QoS control, and the various protocols of mobile ad hoc network (MANET), Zigbee, etc. by use of the network simulator Riverbed Modeler.
