Anotation:

Subject is devoted to principles and technologies of Computer Networks. Physical layer media, analog and digital modulations, network topologies, MAC methods, ARQ algorithms, data communication models, coding and cryptography basics are introduced. Widely used LAN technologies are then presented together with their features. Internet protocols are explained and internetworking approaches are presented.

Course outlines:

1. Introduction, basic terms definition, ISO/OSI model, layer functionality
2. Metallic, optic a wireless physical media, features and application parameters
3. Information source entropy, source and channel coding, channel capacity
4. Communication channel models (AWGN, BSC, ...), modulations, spread spectrum communication
5. Data transfer types, channel capacity sharing, physical and logical topologies
6. MAC methods and their characteristics, addressing
7. ARQ methods, error detection and correction
8. Symmetric and asymmetric cryptography, digital signature
9. Internetworking, routing, flow control, QoS
10. Computer networks (particularly IEEE 802.3), versions, active elements, VLAN, PoE
11. Wireless networks I (IEEE 802.11)
12. TCP/IP basics (IPv4, IPv6, ICMP, ARP, NDP, DNS)
13. Transport layer protocols (UDP, TCP, RTP), flow control, congestion control
14. Network management, SNMP, RMON

Exercises outline:

1. Measurements with digital oscilloscope
2. Error detection with CRC
3. Metalic wire channel
4. Optical fiber channel
5. Wireless networks
Semestral project focused on implementation of network applications.
