Mobile Computing Syllabus

This document outlines the units of study for a Mobile Computing elective course. The five units cover: 1) introductions to mobile communications and architectures; 2) wireless medium access control; 3) the mobile network layer including mobility management; 4) transport layer protocols for mobile networks; and 5) data dissemination, synchronization, mobile ad hoc networks, and protocols/platforms for mobile devices. The course relies on two primary textbooks and two reference books on topics relating to mobile communications, computing, applications, and network architectures.
