CS 653 Mobile Computing is a PG elective course open to PG and UG understudies who have taken a past early on systems administration course. We will cover intriguing themes over an assortment of portable frameworks (remote LANs, cell frameworks, and sensor arranges), and return to the plan of the different layers of the systems administration stack with regards to remote correspondence. The course will contain addresses, four issue sets, exams (midsem and endsem), and a course extend.

Grading

Issue Sets (20%). You will be given four issue sets/assignments over the span of the semester. You will be given roughly seven days each to settle them. Every issue set will represent 5% of your review. If you don't mind submit transcribed answers. You can talk about the issues with different understudies in the class, yet you should each compose your own particular answers. On the off chance that you work with your companions to take care of an issue, please list their names in your answer sheet.
