Course Description

410-Understanding Sensors Part 2 - Sensor Networks

Part 2 begins with a description of two additional sensors that will continue to play an important role in the evolving sensor networking technology; micro electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) and fiber optic sensors. Then sensor networking architecture and the transmission of measured data to a sensor fusion algorithm is examined. Finally, sensor fusion technology is described. Finally, sensor fusion technology is described. Sensor fusion enhances the knowledge base of the quantities of interest as well as the interaction between them. This part of the course will cover all aspects of the networked sensing system; the sensor node, the communication network, network topologies and wireless sensor networks (WSN), communication network layered protocols, and finally fusion algorithms and processing techniques. Spurred by innovations in the smart phone, the Internet, MEMS, the IoT and the Cloud, devices are becoming smart and capable of user control, monitoring, and communication from remote locations. Network connectivity, person to person, machine to machine, device to device and combinations thereof is expanding at a fast rate making an understanding of sensor networks and fusion of growing importance.
