Mobile and Wireless Networks

This course covers both the principles and the practice of mobile and wireless networks. Topics will include application use cases, the unique aspects of the wireless (as opposed to wireline) links, and approaches for handling mobility, authentication, security and privacy, energy management, user localization, and virtualization in mobile and wireless networks. The focus of 'practice' will cover the overall architectures (both control plane and data plane) of 802.11 (WiFi) networks and 4G/5G cellular systems; Bluetooth, satellite, and IoT networks will also be briefly covered.

Quantum Cryptography

The ability to transmit quantum information over long distances will enable implementation of many fascinating quantum communication tasks and provide us with novel capabilities that reach beyond what we can do over classical Internet alone. Examples of such tasks include blind quantum computing, clock synchronization or distributed quantum computing. Quantum cryptography is one family of such tasks with the most famous one being quantum key distribution.
