bullet

This page provides readings and some references on Mobile and Wireless Networking.

bullet

I'll be adding academic papers, white papers, technical documents and addresses during the semester to this page. Some of them will be optional readings.

bullet

The master students normally will read at least one paper each week whereas the undergraduate students will read in a biweekly period. They may be assigned to read different papers.

bullet

The papers will be posted for a weekly basis. When new papers are posted, the old ones will be deleted from the server.
