Cross-layer Design for Wireless Networks (NIS653)

An introduction to wireless networks and layered architecture, principles of cross-layer design, impact of crosslayer interactions for different architectures: cellular and ad hoc networks, model abstractions for layers in crosslayer design for different architectures (cellular and ad hoc networks), quality of service (QoS) provisioning at different layers of the protocol stack with emphasis on physical layer, medium access control beamforming, interference cancellation techniques, MAC protocols, admission control, power control, routing and adaptive modulation
