Overordnede kursusmål
The objective for this course is to provide the students with a
network perspective overview of functions and elements as well as
related standards which form the basis for the implementation of
future integrated global communication networks.
Læringsmål
En studerende, der fuldt ud har opfyldt kursets mål, vil kunne:
- Identify the challenges of building and scaling global
communication networks
- Differentiate between physical and logical networks
- Illustrate and compare different topologies for communication
networks
- Characterize traffic by relevant parameters
- Asses control and management systems for large networks
- Devise procedures for building networks providing high
reliability
- Explain the difference between quality of service (QoS) and
Quality of Experience (QoE)
- Describe the principles of providing sustainable communication
network infrastructure
- Analyze ongoing research in communication networks and its
relation to legacy technologies
- Present own findings in reports and oral presentations, and
give constructive feedback to others
Kursusindhold
The focus of the course will be on providing the students of a
general understanding of the complexity of the core and transport
infrastructure. It will contain topics such as network topologies,
network layering and stratification, reference models, complex
communication systems, transmission and multiplexing protocols and
their internal relation, logical vs. physical networks, traffic
characterization, network resilience, network control and
management, node architecture, energy efficiency, quality of
service (QoS) and Quality of Experience, and transition from legacy
to next generation networks. Assignments, groupwork,
peer-evaluation and presentations are an integral part of the
course.
At an appropriate level the course will incorporate topics from
ongoing research activities within the department as well as guest
lecturers from Danish industry.
