Course Overview
n Research proposal topics/ideas:
Select one of the relevant areas under study at the IETF, or any
other standards body (not discussed in class), explain the problem,
proposed solutions, and critically evaluate them.
Mobile IP, routing in ad-hoc networks, TCP over wireless links:
survey current proposals (there are many more than the ones
discussed in class) and compare them.
Survey future portable devices, discuss implications for wireless
data applications (for example, in e-commerce).
Find and report on experiments with wireless data applications
(design, performance, user evaluations and feedback, lessons
learned) – ideally more than one case study.
