On the Wireless Network Curriculum Teaching

Abstract:

Wireless network technology has developed rapidly and been widely used in different forms, such as Wireless LAN (WLAN), Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) and the 3G Mobile Communications. As one core curriculum of IT major, the computer network curriculum mainly focuses on the wired networks rather than the wireless networks and is hard to meet the needs of IT industry. In this paper, we firstly survey the current teaching of wireless network techniques and then discuss the necessity of the wireless network curriculums. By improving teaching contents and methods, we put forward a novel wireless network teaching mode using simulation tools.
