Practical Course on Wireless Sensor Networks (Lab)
Description
This lab is an introductory course for wireless sensor networks. Students will get hands-on experience working with sensor motes and TinyOS application development through simulation and implementation on the real hardware. Furthermore, important wireless communication protocols and cryptographics are examined. (UniVZ)
