Inhalt: Wireless networks typically consist of resource-constrained battery-powered nodes. Their radios consume relatively high amounts of energy compared to other wireless node components, so communication needs to be as efficient as possible. One promising approach to cope with this challenge is the formation of backbones on top of the real network topology, which can, for example, serve as "highways" for data transport. Moreover backbones are, for instance, employed to help lower the number of collisions at the MAC layer or to save energy by reducing the number of broadcasts needed during the discovery phase of a routing protocol.
Wichtige Hinweise: The seminar (ESS, S2, 4 ECTS credits) deals with the latest centralized and distributed protocols for backbone formation in wireless networks and will be completely in English. It will be held as compact/block seminar: all seminar meetings will be within a two-day block in the first half of the semester. The concrete dates for this will be determined in an initial meeting at the beginning of the semester.
