Course Overview

The purpose of this course is to discuss some advanced topics in wireless and mobile communication and networking. This course is an intensive theory-oriented and modeling-driven research seminar, and the students are expected to possess the prerequisite knowledge of Mobile Communication and Networking, Optimization Theory, Stochastic Analysis and Applied Probability. This course is held on a weekly base and comprising the following components:

  • Weekly Presentation + Weekly Paper Reading and Discussion
  • Final Presentation
  • Final Report

The material in the course is mainly drawn from the research literature in top tier journals/conferences, like ToN,TMC, TPDS, SIGCOMM, SIGMETRICS, INFOCOM, MOBICOM, MOBIHOC, WWW, CoNEXT.

The examination and grading is mostly based on the extent to which a student understands the problem formulation, model building, and mathematical/technical solution in a paper/presentation.

Requirements

  • Each participant is required to read the assigned paper before the seminar and prepare the review of the paper, which should include the following parts:
    • Summary of the paper
    • Pros AND cons of the paper (your conclusion)
