Evaluation: |
Grades will be based on homework, labs and projects. But since the labs don't seem to be forthcoming this will be reduced to just homework and projects. In order to receive full credit on any homework assignment it must be turned in on time. If it is between one and three days late you lose 10 PTS. If it is more than three days late you lose 20 PTS. |
| Description: |
This course will
focus on the wireless computing and communications. I intend this to
primarily encompass
Finding good sources on these topics isn't as easy as one should expect. The recommended references seem to be the best that I can find. Unfortunately, I have yet to find the one or two good references for wireless telephony. |
