Iot Sensor Networks

Sensor networks feature prominently in the Internet of Things (IoT). This course covers the principles of wireless sensor networks which can provide measurements and data on physical processes of interest to enable digitalization. You will learn how to:

• capture real-time sensor measurements, process them and transmit the results over a wireless network;
• achieve energy efficient sensor networks through system management of embedded processing and wireless network resources;
• integrate sensor networks to edge computing nodes and cloud platforms to perform distributed information processing; and
• use sensor networks to achieve application level functionalities such as stream analytics, modelling and event detection.

By gaining visibility into physical processes, new services and business process optimization can be achieved.
