Outline Motivation Objectives Organizational Stuff Contents Working Method Overview on Courses 2
Motivation Why is it important? The Internet and mobile communication networks are experiencing an enormous growth and are a crucial factor of today s economy Future (or today?) networks Heterogeneous fixed and mobile networks interconnected by a common IP core Quick introduction of new network elements, applications and services (software-defined networking, software-defined radio) Internet of Things (Car2car, M2M, D2D) Higher bandwidth, reduced delay, higher reliability and lower cost Challenges: Heterogeneity, dynamics, complexity, cloudification, scalability Energy, localization, QoS, security 3
Objectives Provide an in-depth understanding of research issues in mobile communication networks Understand protocol and networking issues of future mobile communication networks, esp. ad hoc networks and cognitive radio systems Get prepared for research in mobile networking 4
Organizational Stuff Course prerequisites Required: basics of communication networks Strongly recommended: basics of IP-based mobile communication systems, e.g. Mobile Communication Networks (B.S. program) Course description is provided at www.tu-ilmenau.de/ics => Teaching => Master Studies Course budget: 5 credits 4 hrs of front-up classes in the first half of the semester Individual (group) studies in the second half Exam In class presentation of results of individual studies Term paper on results of individual studies Individual studies result is valid for 2 semesters after completion Oral exam (20 min, please register at ICS office in Z1031) Grading scheme: 60% oral exam, 40% term paper plus presentation 4.0 required for each part to pass the course 50% correct answers required to pass oral exam (4 topics typically) 5
