Module goal - Knowledge and skill to be achieved by students

  Students should gain theoretical and practical knowledge about advanced communication protocols and networks which are necessary for designing, installation and maintenance of communication systems.

Syllabus

  Communication networks. Characteristics of the communication processes. Logical and temporary connections. Mechanisms for flow and error control. Models and methods for the analysis and synthesis of communication protocol. Application of finite state models. Petri’s networks. Structure and implementation of Petri and related network models in modeling and analysis of communications protocols. Transitional sequences and states. Network graphs. Synthesis and verification of protocols using methods based on research of space state and simulation. Routing protocols in circuit-switched and packet-switched networks. IP networks and routing. Congestion control. Intelligent optical networks and integration of IP network layer. Architecture of the multi-service multi-technology communication network of new generation (NGN). Communication protocols in access, metro and core network. MPLS VoIP system architecture. VoIP and public telecommunication networks. VoIP network components. H.323 operating network model, Terminal, Gateway, Gatekeeper, Multipoint Control Unit (MCU). Processing of the “”transmission gateway”. Vector quantization and linear prediction; CELP coders. Processing of the “receiver gateway”, jitter buffer. Signaling and call control in VoIP. Comparing the H323, SIP and MEGACO. Transport protocols for VoIP. Study of RTP and RTCP – factors and issues of delivery of voice packets in real time. Coexistence of the classical and VoIP network. VoIP and intelligent network (IN).

Didactic methods

  Lectures are performed directly in an aula. Each lecture is followed by description and solution of examples and problems from the lecture being presented in a manner which enables students to master knowledge and skills over mathematical instruments and methods introduced during lectures. <br>
Tutorial during which the students will be followed and guided by the tutor with purpose of solving examples and exam problems, and give ideas for solution of problems set as part of exercises. <br>
During the execution of the curriculum there may be continuous testing of the achieved level of preparedness of students to perform on the final exam. <br>
As part of the laboratory exercises the students will be introduced to basic features of software solutions used in advanced communication protocols and new generation networks, and will approach independent development of simple applications from the observed field. <br>

Exams

  During the written part of the exam students are allowed to use a list of formulas prepared by lecturers, which may be of use in solving problems. It is not allowed to use other notes, books, cell phones or other electronic devices. <br>
Problems, which students must solve during the exam, are of the same type solved during the lectures and tutorials.During the written part of the exam students are allowed to use a list of formulas prepared by lecturers, which may be of use in solving problems.
