COURSE OUTLINE
Synopsis:
This course introduces fundamental concepts of telecommunication networks. Underlying
engineering principles of modulation, multiplexing and switching systems, IP networks, cellular
telephony, VoIP, frame relay as well as integrated networks are discussed. Topics in the course
include: overview of telephone and data networks, OSI layers, physical layer and coding, data
link protocol, flow control, congestion control, routing, local area networks (Ethernet, Wireless,
etc.); frequency reuse in cellular telephony, FDMA, TDMA and CDMA; introduction to satellite
communication, submarine cables, digital radio, microwave etc.
Learning Outcomes:
After completion of this course, students should be able to:
1. Explain the basic of telecommunication system such as circuit switching, packet
switching, cellular network, etc.
2. Analyze and apply concepts and theories of telecommunication
3. Define and describe the telecommunication systems.
4. Identify the important elements of data communications equipment and describe their
function
5. Design simple digital and analogue based telecommunication systems.
