Radio Networks may be cellular networks, ad hoc networks, hybride networks, or wireless sensor networks. For these types of networks we present and discuss algorithms.

Cellular networks are widely von from mobile telephone networks and wireless local area networks. All communication is redirected over base stations. Direct communications between the participants of the network does not take place. Topics here are OFDM, Smart Antennae, MIMO, Voronoi graphs, Handover problems and the frequency assignment problem.  

Ad hoc networks do not use any extra infrastructure. Participants communicate directly and provide the routing necessary to deliver messages over multiple hops. We discuss medium access, and the main routing algorithms. Furthermore we will have a look into mobility of participants resulting in so-called mobile ad hoc networks.

Wireless sensor networks connect devices with sensors and actuators. Such networks use only relatively simple hardware for computation and communication. The key problem is the energy consumptions since such networks have to be sustained for months and years on single cell batteries. We discuss this energy problem and ways to overcome it like data aggregation and energy harvesting. Besides these topics we also present network coding, security in networks, and multiplexing techniques.
