EP270V Internet of Things 3.0 credits

IoT is "the world of everything connected" because it can connect physical objects, persons, infrastructures, or even businesses. loT allows us to gather data, make data analysis, and 
ultimately take some optimal decisions. We will use IoT in the digitalized world, where vehicles will drive without human drivers, or energy and water resources will be distributed much more efficiently than today. This course gives an overview of some of the important 
IoT wireless communication aspects.

Content and learning outcomes

Course contents

The course focuses on wireless networks for internet of things (IoT). Introduction to applications of wireless IoT. Methods for wireless communications protocols with an emphasis on analytical performance analysis. Analysis of the interplay between wireless network protocols and applications based on theoretical methods.

Intended learning outcomes

After passing the course, the student should be able to:

  • give an account of the central wireless network protocols for system design for internet of things (IoT)
  • theoretically characterise performance for wireless communications protocols

in order to

  • understand and explain which design options there are for a specific wireless communication system
  • be able to give arguments for which type of performance should be prioritised for designing wireless IoT systems and machine-learning methods.
