Required Text

There is no required text book for this course. Although a book titled "Ad-hoc Wireless Networks" by C Siva Ram Murty and B S Manoj is available.

The course is based on exclusive collection of research papers that are available on-line. Additional notes will be provided as needed by the course teacher.

Course Objective

This course is an advanced research-oriented course specially designed for graduate students. In the course various topics relevant to a cutting-edge technology, namely, Wireless Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs) will be covered. Upon completion of this course, a student will learn the state of the art researches on MANETs and enhance their skill to perform research in this new exciting area.

Evaluation

The final grade of this course will be evaluated by the following weighted combination:

(a) Mid term Examination: 35%

(b) Final Examination: 30%

(c) Project (total): 25%         

      (i) Presentation: 10%

      (ii) Findings and reports: 15%

(d) Class participation: 10%

Notes:

(1) Exams are based on the research papers presented in the class.

(2) Projects are group works and each group consists of a certain number of student members. The number of students allowefd in a group will be announced later. Group members are chosen by the students themselves based on mutual understandings and must be approved by the teacher. The project topics will be announced by the teacher once the groups are formed. Projects are mostly survey type focusing on a particular topic.  A synthesis of the survey must be presented in the class starting from 10th weeks of the classes. Some projects might require simulations to be performed. A project report needs to be submitted at the end of the term.

Grading Policy

Look at the following chart for a quick conversion:

90-100% A+ 4.0

80-89% A 3.5

70-79% B+ 3.0

60-69% B 2.5

50-59% C 2.0

0-49% F 0.0

Note that this is an approximate conversion chart and the mark/grade conversion may fluctuate a few % for any given class of students.
