Formelle forudsætninger:As a prerequisite for this project cluster it is recommended that the student has completed the course Introductory Programming and at least one more course within programming. Furthermore it is desirably but not necessary that the student has completed the course Image Analysis or Signal Processing.
Thus the participant should be able to construct and test a small Java program
and should know the concept of a protocol and the layered architectures of network protocols.
 
Læringsmål:The objecive of this project cluster is, from the application point of view, to teach the understanding of Wireless Local Area Networks, Wireless Personal Area Networks, Wireless Sensor Networks, Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) and examples of functional extensions of these systems. The common basis for the functions of these seemingly very different systems is emphasized.

Having completed the project cluster the student is able to
- understand the common principles behind wireless propagation in a selection
of seemingly very different mobile environments such as Wireless Local Area
Networks (WLAN), Wireless Personal Area Networks (WPAN) including
Bluetooth, Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) and Radio Frequency
Identification (RFID) Systems.
- understand the common principles governing the design of systems
using WLAN, WPAN, WSN and RFID, and furthermore design such a system.
- understand the selection of principles for applying WLAN, WPAN, WSN for
extracting positioning information in an indoor environment.
- decide which network is to be recommended for a specified application
domaine.
- specify a wireless network, given detailed information on the application
domaine aimed at.
 
Fagligt indhold:The project cluster is planned to be divided into Part I and Part II.

The Part I consists of the following subjects:
- The in- and outdoor wireless propagation environment.
- Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) communication protocol IEEE 802.11b.
- Wireless Personal Area Network (WPAN) communication protocol IEEE
802.15.4, Bluetooth IEEE 802.15.1.
- The architecture and protocol used in a practical Wireless Sensor Network.
- Principles for design of systems using WLAN, WPAN or WSN protocols.
- Radio Frequency Identification (RFID), communication range, sensitivity, system
configurations.
- Methods for indoor positioning using Wireless Local Area Networks.

Part II consists of exercises where it is possible to either study the wireless network architectures for mobile systems or study the algorithms and signal processing methods, used for filtering and detection of signals, measured in wireless sensor networks. To complete the project cluster, it is recommended to do Exercise 1 or Exercise 2:

Exercise 1: “Applying a Wireless Sensor Network for Data Acquisition”.
or
Exercise 2: “Designing a Filtering and Detection Algorithm for a Wireless
Sensor Network”.
 
Læringsaktiviteter:

Please notice! You sign up for this project cluster as if it was a normal course. But please remark:

  • enrolment in a project cluster is not considered a binding course registration (only relevant to MSc students)
  • You can register for a project cluster as a fourth activity (besides of three courses).
  • You/your group have to register your project in the Project Base before the deadline for 12 week projects, 16 week projects, 4 week projects or theses/final projects. Please find the deadlines here http://www1.itu.dk/sw923.asp
  • The project and its title you register in
    the project base, will appear on the diploma,
    when you have passed the project. (Please be
    aware that the project cluster by itself is not
    registered on the diploma).
  • Single-subject students at Open University and guest students from other universities interested in the project cluster, please contact the Student Administration Office, phone +45 72 18 52 05.
First meeting in the project cluster will be announced via the mailinglist.
