Description and Objective of the Course:

This course is a graduate course on the emerging area of Internet of Things (IoT) and Machine-to-Machine Communications (M2M). The course will cover lectures, labs and exploration of research topics. The lecture will teach students the M2M architecture proposed by ETSI and oneM2M and cover IoT/M2M area networks, IoT/M2M service architecture, the role of IP in IoT/M2M, IoT/M2M core networks and IoT/M2M security. Moreover, several key IoT/M2M applications will also be explored in the lecture. The Labs will also focus on hands-on experiments based on course material using Android handset as sensor network and OpenMTC/OM2M as service architecture. Finally, selected papers will be distributed for exploration of research topics in this emerging area.
