Contents
Vehicle-to-everything communication can serve as the basis for novel applications enabling cooperation among mobile systems of the future. Trucks, cars, bikes, pedestrians, and cities are all part of such a system. This course will cover the basis and the application of communication concepts to the design of such cooperative mobile systems. A practical part covers the application of learned theroetical concepts to the design of novel cooperative mobile systems, as well as the study of such systems via simulative performance evaluation.
Prerequisites
There are no formal prerequisites for joining. Still, certain background knowledge is not taught in this course, but assumed for lecture, labs, or exams:
- You should have a background (or the willingness to learn) computer networking with a focus on wireless as well as fundamental knowledge of applied statistics.
- For the labs, simulations will be designed, written (in C++), and run (on Linux systems). For this, basic programming and computer skills are beneficial.
Learning Outcome
Students will be able to understand how vehicle-to-everything communication can serve as the basis for applications enabling cooperation among trucks, cars, bikes, pedestrians, and cities. They will also be able to apply this knowledge to the design of future cooperative mobile systems in practice.
General Information / Methods
This course consists of lectures and labs. The lecture covers theoretical parts of the course, the labs cover practical parts.
This course will be held in English (German, if universally preferred) and all the course material is available in English. Course material will be distributed/collected via OPAL.
For participation, two alternatives will be offered in parallel:
- All slides along with written commentary will be made available online for download and asynchronous learning.
- All slides will be presented in a weekly on-campus meeting or interactive live stream for synchronous learning. The streaming platform is the TU Dresden BigBlueButton instance, with Zoom as a fall-back.

Grading
Oral examination (by appointment).
Option of written exam if 32 participants or more where covered by degree program regulations.
If you want to take an exam, please pre-register with us in the first two weeks of lecture. This is in addition to the regular exam registration you will need to do later in the semester. See the organizational slide deck for details.
Instructors
- Lecture: Christoph Sommer
- Labs: Mario Franke
Timeline
For timeline information, see both the section “In a nutshell” above and the slide deck “Organization” below.
Web Meeting Links
In the first week only, the class is run as both a physical and a web meeting, to decide how to continue the course (physical or virtual).
In first week’s hybrid class we decided to move to fully-physical classes until further notice. If we must move to fully-virtual classes, this will be announced here. Until then, no web meetings are taking place.
In case of technical difficulties, please check the Matrix room.
