Wireless Ad-Hoc Networks

This document outlines the objectives, outcomes, and units of a course on wireless ad hoc networks and sensor networks. The course aims to teach students about the issues and challenges in designing these networks, as well as protocols for MAC, routing, transport, and quality of service. Students will also learn about security issues and solutions. The course is divided into five units covering topics like MAC and routing protocols, transport and QoS, sensor network architectures, and security attacks and defenses.
