This course introduces advanced concepts of modern computer and
telecommunication networks. The course assumes that students have strong
theoretical and working knowledge of various networking technologies. The
state-of-the-art hardware and software networking technologies are introduced.
These include, for example, Fiber-optic and Mobile/Cellular communications
(3rd Generation and Ad Hoc); Wavelength Division and Time Division Multiple
Access Protocols; New technologies for TCP/IP, MPLS, Mobile IP, Multicasting;
ATM, Next Generation Internet technologies (All-Optical networks);
to name a few.
The objective of the course is to help students build on their networking
knowledge and keep them up to date with the new technologies in the ever
changing and dynamic world of networking, ultimately preparing them for
career in the field of networking.
The course is suitable for those who have strong genuine interest in
computer and telecommunication networks and intend pursuing a career
in the same.
Prerequisites
Students need to have knowledge of computer architectures, probability
theory (e.g. exponential distribution), and communication theory (e.g.
Fourier transform). Should have taken cse589 or an equivalent course earlier.
In addition, students should be proficient in C/C++ programming and ready
to learn/use computer simulation
packages (OPNET).
Evaluation Methods

technologies and topics (discuss with Dr. Qiao or TA) (30 % ).
A Mid Term exam (30
%).
A detailed project(s)/simulation(s), demonstrating proof of
concept etc. (discuss with Dr. Qiao or TA) (40 %).
