10. Course Goals (acquired competencies): The goal is learning to model the traffic in telecommunication networks, make analysis of video, audio and data, as well as QoS (Quality of Service). Further, the course goals include design of fixed (cable / optical) and mobile (4G, 5G) networks, design of transport networks , design of corporate IP networks, design of IP networks for voice over IP (VoIP), IPTV, broadband Internet access service, and business services.
11. Course Syllabus: Introduction to the design and modelling. Traffic modelling in telecommunication networks. Internet traffic modelling for different applications (video, speech, data). Modelling of telecommunication networks. Quality of Service (QoS) for fixed and mobile, service quality management (MPLS, differentiated services). Access network design (xDSL networks, cable networks, home optics). Design of wireless (WiFi) and mobile networks (4G, 5G) with given performances, QoS and QoE. Transport network design (VPN, optical transport networks). Design of corporate IP networks (for small, medium and large companies). Design of broadband IP networks for Voice over IP (VoIP) networks, IPTV, high speed Internet access, and business services.
12. Learning methods: The method of learning is based on theoretical lectures of students, supplemented with thematic auditory and laboratory exercises, consultation with students, as well as seminar work or project assignment.
