Mobile Computing
FALL 2009 ECE4211-41
MON 10:30-11:45 AM / WED 9:00-10:15 AM (ROOM 23413)


Course Description: Graduate students attending this lecture hopefully with at least 3 years of
industrial experience or equivalence 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, PMIP, 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 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.

l 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.
l 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 from the start
2) read related works - 3 weeks from the start
3) 10-page proposal with short presentation - 2 weeks
4) idea development - 3 weeks
5) 10-page proposal with short presentation - 1 week
6) performance evaluation - 2 weeks
7) writing a paper with presentation - 3 weeks
l Grading Policy:
Biweekly assignments (15%) and a term project (25%), attendance (10%), midterm #1
(10/21(Wed) 8:55-10:25am 25%), midterm #2 (12/9(Wed) 8:55-10:25am 25%) Note: schedule for
the course project will be discussed in the class based on the number of students registered.
