B.Sc. (Computer Science) Wireless and Sensor Networks Practical Syllabus - Mumbai University

This is the TY BSc Computer Science syllabus under NEP 2020, in force from the academic year 2026-27. The University still sets the earlier Choice Based papers alongside it — her Summer 2026 third-year timetables name that scheme — so check which scheme your exam form names before you revise.

This is the practical paper for Wireless & Sensor Networks, which the University sets and examines separately.

Module I

  • Study of Sensor Node Hardware Architecture
  • Design a conceptual block diagram of a wireless sensor node and analyse the role of sensing unit, microcontroller, transceiver, memory, and power supply in energy- constrained environments.
  • Sensor Mote and Base Station Communication Develop a simple communication scenario between multiple sensor motes and a base station to study data aggregation and sink node operation.
  • Understanding TinyOS Architecture and Execution Model
  • Examine the event-driven architecture of TinyOS and implement a simple application to demonstrate its non-preemptive scheduler.
  • Implementation of nesC Programming Model
  • Create a basic nesC application using modules and configurations to understand component wiring and interface binding.
  • Implementation of Events, Commands, and Tasks in TinyOS
  • Develop a TinyOS program that toggles LEDs using events and tasks to demonstrate split-phase execution.
  • Simulation of Single Mote using TOSSIM
  • Simulate a single sensor node in TOSSIM and observe execution logs to understand the TinyOS runtime environment.
  • Mote-to-Mote Radio Communication Simulation
  • Simulate packet transmission between two motes and analyze signal strength and packet loss under varying radio gain values.
  • Mote-to-PC Serial Communication Simulation
  • Implement serial communication between a sensor mote and PC to monitor real-time data transmission.
  • Creation of Simple Adhoc Network using TOSSIM
  • Create a multi-node ad-hoc network in TOSSIM and evaluate broadcast communication among nodes.
