Final exam
Details
- Form: oral examination, optional: written test- Duration: 30 minutes
- Assignment: topics and questions from the different parts of the course are answered or discussed by the students, respectively. Short calculations are performed or sketeched.
- Different taxonomies are rated according to their complexity and difficulty.
- observable results from project or seminar work, respectively, can be included into the total score with up to 30 %.
Minimum standard
Basic knowledge can be adequately applied to known and related problems. The execution is in parts faulty. (4,0)Exam Type

Learning goals
Knowledge
The underlying concept of this module is a combination of lecture and tutorial. After a lecture block of approximately 20 minutes the subjects taught are actively trained using Matlab/Octave and Python programs.
Syllabus:
- Introduction, What is IoT/Industy 4.0?
- Overview: Markets and application areas for wireless communikations
- Standards, Basics on wireless communications
- sensor, actor and uC
- Muiltiple Access and data link Control in Sensor Networks
- Techniques for higher rates
- Network, Fog and Cloud Computing
- Standards for cellular (4G, 5G), WLAN, LPWAN, WNAN and WPAN
Students shall deepen their knowledge by self-study of literature and internet ressources and discuss their results in small learning groups as teamwork.

Skills
By combination of taught subjects and small exercises and programs during the presence time, students are able to actively train their knowledge. More extensive problems are solved and discussed in the second part of the course to activate the student's capabilities to solve relevant problems.
Students further learn
- to analyze communication systems and to estimate their performance
- to select appropriate standards for specific applications
- to apply their knowledge to technical problems

Learning goals
Skills
Students plan and work on projects in the field of the IoT in small teams. They use HW and SW to implement or evaluate wireless standards and to acquire, transfer, collect, present, and evaluate data, e.g., generated by sensors. The projects of different teams may be combined to a bigger project.
The results are presented at the end of the project and may be assessed and included into the total score by up to 30%.
