Telecommunication Networks
Examine the operation of modern communication networks. Discuss the concept of layered network architecture to gain practical insights on the principal functions and services required for achieving reliable end-to-end communications. Explore networking application design and programming; service interfaces and peer-to-peer protocols; the reference model for TCP/IP; IEEE LAN (Local Area Network) architectures; network-layer and transport-layer issues; link layer with focus on contention-based access; wireless networks that cover WiFi; and basics of cellular networks. Electrical and Computer Engineering 372N and Electrical Engineering 372N may not both be counted. Three lecture hours a week for one semester.
