Note:For homework and lab assignment; you MUST include the cover letter with students' signature OTHERWISE they WILL NOT be graded.
Academic Integrity
Students at Khon Khan University are engaged in the first step for their professional career with the highest standards. Please follow the academic integrity guideline at Cheating and Plagiarism [@CMU]. All these rules are enforced for the entire course.
Project (group of 1-2 students)
The course includes 2 projects: (1) midterm hands-on project (either implementation or simulation [See OPNET and NS2]) and (2) a comprehensive survey in the second half of the semester; Projects will be executed individually, but a small team is also allowed (please advise the instructor). The final outcome of the project MUST be something visual and/or be written in a professional form [See IEEE journal format]. Latex format is encouraged.
Note that all term papers (reports) MUST be proof-read (including peer review process) from a professional English department (contact Jame AT SC6602) before final submission.

Mini Project (Translation of Survey)
  • WIRELESS MULTIMEDIA SENSOR NETWORKS: A SURVEY
  • A Survey of Indoor Positioning Systems for Wireless Personal Network
  • A Survey of Mobile Phone Sensing

    • Project I (hands-on project) = Sensor + Android
    This semester, we will focus on
    (1) Sensor Networks; Tossim and NS are our main tools.
    (2) Android Applicaiton; Android Emulator will be our main tool (require JAVA skill - eclispe); Links here are useful for Android programming: http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/tools/emulator.html, http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html.
    The quality of the project is to submit for NSC contest, Microsoft Imagine Cup, and Samart Innovation.

    Project II (a comprehensive survey)
    Survey on Mobile and Wireless Networking Technology - Wiki report submission + Presentation in Thai format (Don't Submit the paper only after google translator)
    Examples: (ieeexplore.ieee.org = Search "wireless survey") OR

    The students are allowed to bring only "ONE" piece of A4 paper in each exam. The final exam material will be after the mid-term; however, all related contents will be also covered.
    The exam includes 1. True/False (+1, -1, and 0), 2. Numerical and Analysis, and 3. Fill in the blank.
    The final grade will be curved based on the overall performance of the whole class (probablistic clear cut-off point).
    Note: the accepted paper will be granted 15% additional of total grade (an acceptance letter is informed by final exam day).
