Learning outcomes
Knowledge

The course aims at providing a background in wireless communications, wireless networks including distributed sensors, and mobile networks with a specific focus on large-scale digital infrastructures.
The approach of the Internet of Things will also be presented with specific case studies taken from real-world applications, experimented at the Port of Livorno: Connected and Automated Vessel, eFreight and Cooperative ITS, Blockchains in logistics applications.

 

Assessment criteria of knowledge

 Proper instruction of the student will be verified through the final assessment methods.

 

 

Behaviors

The student will acquire the needed knowledge at the basis of the network architecture of a complex digital infrastructure where IoT and mobile radio networks are considered as enabling components.

Assessment criteria of behaviors

Feedback will be required to the students at a regular basis along the duration of the courses.

Exercise and demo sessions will also be organized.
