Content
Objective
• Presents the basic principles of "Wireless Communication" from an academic and engineering perspective.
• It conceptually and analytically reveals the differences and similarities between the Internet of Things and its predecessor technologies (WSN, M2M, CPS).
• It aims to convey Internet of Things design principles from an application perspective.
• It conveys the engineering trade-offs behind the approaches that provide the Internet of Things technological infrastructure.
• It provides the necessary opportunities for students to internalize the concepts and experimental methods presented in the course through multi-stage projects and assignments.
