Wideband wired systems
Course objectives
1. Goal of the course --The goal of the course is to describe and analyze the basic protocol stacks, functionalities and offered services of the currently emerging wired Cloud-aided broadband communication networks and systems. Packet-switched data networks and Internet are considered as motivating case of study. 2. Expected results -It is expected that the attending students will acquire the basic notions requested to understand the performance behavior of the emerging Internet-driven networks. 3. Required background A good background in Communication systems and Networking is required.
