Knowledge acquisition related to wireless sensor networks that have great application in different areas such as medicine, military applications, home applications, etc... In addition, there are a lot of current issues in this area that researchers are trying to solve.

- Ability to understand the protocol of modern sensor networks - Ability to understand how wireless sensor networks operate - Ability to research new ideas in this field through projects

The review of protocols and application of wireless sensor networks. Sensor nodes (hardware and operating systems). Localization (GPS, self-configuring localization technique). Time synchronization, protocols on the network level (Direct propagation, LEACH protocol, the rotation of the cluster). Topology management (ASCENT protocol). Data storage in sensor networks. Queries in sensor networks (TinyDB). Programming languages to be used in sensor networks (nesC programming). Simulation and experimental environment (TOSSA, Emstar). The problem of security in sensor networks (SPINS protocol). Principles and algorithms of distributed signal processing. A part of the course is being realized through individual research study in the field of wireless sensor networks. The research study includes the overview of bibliography, organization and performance of experiments and statistical data processing, numerical simulations, writing of papers closely related to scientific and educational area of the doctoral dissertation topic.
