This course will survey seminal and recent work in wireless networking, focusing on enterprise and mesh 802.11 networks. We will approach the topic from a systems perspective, generally focusing on the MAC layer and above, although we will begin with a brief overview of the physical link characteristics. We will consider a number of proposed mechanisms for routing, forwarding, and end-to-end packet transport, in addition to techniques to improve the performance, reliability, and energy savings.
