NETWORKING LABORATORY H.CHOO
Mobile Computing
FALL 2007 ECE4211-41
FRI 3-5:50 PM (ROOM 21502)

Course Description: Graduate students attending this lecture hopefully with at least 3 years of
industrial experience will obtain a general understanding of wireless and mobile systems, and will be
able to correlate with recent advances in Mobile Computing. This course introduces basic concepts for
wireless communications of both voice/video and data. Many underlying system issues related to
mobility support and channel allocation will be covered along with short discussions of satellites.
Mobile Computing essentials including wireless LANs, Mobile IP, WiBro, ad hoc networks, and
wireless sensor networks will help understand why they are useful. In special, the course requires a
survey and deep understanding of recent trend in a limited subject by reporting an academic and
technical paper. A simulation program tutorial in NS-2/Qualnet/Opnet and a team research project for
writing the short paper will guide you to investigate the new subject which will be related to your
current work. And the project requires implementation issues or performance evaluation of the problem
you solve in the scope we cover at the class.

NETWORKING LABORATORY H.CHOO

Course Details:
1. Assigned readings are from textbook (or lecture notes) and suggested to complete before
each class. At least, you should read the introductory material at the beginning of each
subject.
2. Assignments must be submitted at the beginning of the class on the due date. Late
submissions will be accepted with 10% penalty each day.
3. All exams are closed-book, closed-notes cumulative exams and cover the material up to the
point mentioned one week prior to the exam date.
4. All works in this class must be done individually. Anyone cheating on work assigned in this
class will receive a zero for that assignment, i.e. submitting the same programs with slight
changes of variable names and tab sizes, etc.
5. You MUST have a computer access such as an account offered by SICE, or your own PC.
6. Anyone who misses an exam without prior approval of the instructor will have -30 points
instead of 0, and there will be no makeup exams.
7. Hand phone rings during the lecture cost the weight of one absence, and two lates for the
lecture cost one absence.
8. Instructors accidental class skip will be announced through the web page 1 hour before the
class.

Course Term Project:
The subject for the term project is open but recommended to have one in the scope of this course.
Dr. Choo recommends students to select the subject related to his or her current work. For your
easier soft takeoff, about 30 co-authored papers in Mobile Computing area will be distributed to
students. You can choose any one to begin with from those distributed and you investigate during
the semester to have better results of the newly proposed scheme in the project.
1) selecting the target paper - 2 weeks
2) read related works - 3 weeks
3) 10-page proposal with short presentation - 3 weeks
4) idea development - 2 weeks
5) performance evaluation - 3 weeks
6) writing a paper with presentation - 3 weeks
Grading Policy:
Biweekly assignments (15%) and a term project (25%), attendance (10%), midterm #1 (10/26(Fri)
3-5:50pm 25%), midterm #2 (12/14(Fri) 3-5:50pm 25%) Note: schedule for the course project will
be discussed in the class based on the number of students registered.
