Logic synthesis is an automated process of generating logic circuits satisfying certain Boolean constraints and/or transforming logic circuits with respect to optimization objectives. It is an essential step in the design automation of VLSI systems and is crucial in extending the scalability of formal verification tools. This course introduces classic logic synthesis problems and solutions as well as some recent developments. This course is intended to introduce Boolean algebra, Boolean function representation and manipulation, logic circuit optimization, circuit timing analysis, formal verification, and other topics. The students may learn useful Boolean reasoning techniques for various applications even beyond logic synthesis. College of Electrical Engineering & Computer Science The prerequisite is the undergrad “Logic Design” course. Knowledge about data structures and programming would be helpful.

1. Overviews of wireless communication systems 2. Modular communication systems and protocol design 3. Eexperiment and algorithm development in IEEE 802.15.4 platform 4. Network and MAC protocol designs for personal and local area networks 5. Mathematical modeling for communication systems and protocols 4. Physical and MAC protocol designs for mobile and wide area networks 7. Cross layer design and optimization for emerging wireless communication systems This course aims at in-depth discussion of wireless communication systems and their protocols. We will focus on the design rationales of communication protocols, the overall network architectures and performance evaluation of complicated wireless systems so that students will be capable of designing next-generation communications systems through rigorous simulation and mathematical analysis. In addition, we will for the first time introduce the IEEE 802.15.4 experiment test bed for hands-on experiments. Studets will learn from the real hands-on experiment the design of wireless protocols and thus to develop new applications in wireless networking.
