Course objectives:
|
The aim of the course is to explain the basic principles, structure and requirements of telecommunication networks, including examples of specific technologies used in telecommunication networks. PDH, SDH technologies are explained, as well as how signals are transmitted and processed by these technologies, including metallic, optical and wireless technologies used in access networks.
|
Requirements on student
|
Active participation on lectures and tutorials, knowledge of subject matter.
|
Content
|
1. Transmission systems - structure of telecommunication network, basic principles of switching, reference model RM-OSI.
2. Digital telephone speech processing, PCM framework, signalling in telecommunication systems, plesiochronous digital hierarchy - signal multiplexing, synchronous digital hierarchy - signal mapping and data transfer, network elements, topology, fault protection.
3. Optical systems in access networks - FTTx, OAN, APON, GPON, XGPON, EFM, reference model, optical network elements, optical link power budget, traffic backup, transmission mechanisms.
4. Use of metallic technologies - parameters of metallic lines and consequences on information throughput, principles of transmission, xDSL technologies - line codes, modulation, reference model, spectral characteristics, achieved parameters.
5. Mobile wireless technologies.
