Bibliography
Notes from the lectures and material shared by the teacher.
Teaching methods
Classroom lectures with examples and results from on-field experiments.
Assessment methods and criteria
The exam will include two parts.
For the first part, the student selects a V2X use case and provides a 5 minute pitch about its requirements, possible implementation, potential issues. Details will be provided during the course.
The second part aims at checking the acquisition of the main concepts discussed during the lectures and consists of an oral exam.
The two parts will be one just after the other in the same day.
