Description and Objective of the Course:

This course is a graduate-level course to explore the important communication technologies for the development of IoT applications under the 5G mobile network. Through this course, students will be able to master the communication technologies for developing IoT applications under the 5G mobile broadband network. These technologies include 5G wireless technologies, 5G core network technologies, Internet of Things platform technologies, Internet of Things IP technologies, Internet of Things security technologies, etc. As the 5G mobile broadband network will be launched around 2020, the whole communications industry will soon need professionals with expertise and skills in 5G communication technologies and IoT application development. The course will cover lectures, labs and exploration of research topics. The lecture will teach students the technical topics as discussed above. The Labs will focus on hands-on experiments based on course material using Arduino/Raspberry Pi/sensors as the field network and OM2M Open Source as the infrastructure network. Finally, selected papers will be distributed for exploration of research topics in this emerging area.
