Integrated Services Digital Networks

The course is a substitute for:

Integrated Services Digital Networks (X32SIS)

Lecturer:

Tutor:

Supervisor:

Department of Telecommunications Engineering

Synopsis:

Subject deals with solutions to integrated service digital networks. The subject starts with division and classification of services; followed by explanation to protocols for data transfer and signalisation on user access, cooperation with other types of networks and solution of individual services. Integral part of the network is signalling system SS7. Its properties, signalling units, transfer and user parts, types of signalling units, function of transfer part levels, types of user parts, ISDN user part, signalling connection control part, transaction capabilities application part.

Requirements:

1. Students are required to go through and pass out all of given laboratory

exercises.

2. Students have to present a report from laboratory execisers in a writen

form to the lecturer.
