The goal Defining the design procedures of different wireless networks. Identifing similarities and differences in the medium access control techniques, especially in quality of service networks. Analyzing the protocols for mobility management (raoming, handover). Determining the design procedures of wireless networks with multi-channel multi-interface nodes.
The outcome Students should understand the organisation of different wireless networks. Also, they should be able to carry out all phases of design procedure.
