Telecommunication Networks

The course is a substitute for:

Telecommunication Networks (X32TSI)

Lecturer:

Tutor:

Supervisor:

Department of Telecommunications Engineering

Synopsis:

The aim of the lectures is to give a summary overview of telecommunications networks with emphasis to grade of service parameters and dimensioning of transmission paths. The aim is focused on description and architecture of networks, routing strategy, overload protection, dimensioning networks with overflow, management of networks, quality and grade of service: telematic services, data, computer, radiotelephone and ISDN networks.

Requirements:
