| learning outcome | Telecommunication is an integral part of today's life. People are used to communicate with any person they would like to by phone, e-mail, chat, or skype at any place at any time. Students in this lecture have learned the basic characteristics of different communication networks. In a bottom-up approach, starting from the physical medium going up to the application, they are familiar with the functionality of different communication protocols and understand how these cooperate to achieve a communication service. Hence, they know different aspects of quality of service the users can expect from different protocols, and are able to specify protocols on their own based on the according protocol mechanisms. As the lecture deals with different networks (telephone network, Internet, mobile communication networks, broadband access networks), the students can characterize these networks and explain the differences. After the lectures and exercises, the students are able to write a report on a current topic in the area of communication networks, which counts 20 % of the final grade. After this report, the students are familiar with investigating new scientific publications on communication protocols and networks from different sources and know how to judge the relevance of different publications. Furthermore, they have developed their competencies in academic writing. |
