Telecommunication Networks

The course is a substitute for:

Telecommunication Networks (D32TSI)

Lecturer:

Tutor:

Supervisor:

Department of Telecommunications Engineering

Synopsis:

The subject gives brief and full overview about communication, this is transmission of information from source to sink of information. Introduces basic terms and principles of information transmission, services of telecommunications networks, quality of services, traffic engineering a dimensioning of connection elements of networks. Application of principles and methods is demonstrated on existing communication networks - ISDN, networks for data transmission, fixed and public land mobile networks.
