Advanced Data Communication

Fri 9:00-11:45amRoom 21222

Schedule

A qualitative and quantitative study of issues in design, analysis, and operating of computer communication and telecommunication network as they evolve toward the integrated networks of the future, employing both packet and circuit-switching technology. Packet and circuit switching, the OSI standards for architecture and protocols, elementary queueing theory for performance evaluation, random access techniques, local area networks, reliability and error recovery, and integrated networks.

Grading Policy

Assignments must be submitted at the beginning of the class on the due date. Late submissions will be accepted with 10% penalty per day up to 3 days. After those 3 days, late submission will not be accepted.

All exams are closed-book, closed-notes, and comprehensive to cover the material up to the point mentioned one week prior to the exam date.

You need have a computer access offered by the School or your own PC.

All submission in this class must be done individually. Anyone who copy other’s work and whose work to be copied will receive no credit for the submission.

The projects are group effort, but will be evaluated individually. Students will form a group of 5 persons. Each group submits one copy of the project report. Each team member must complete a “Peer Rating” form and submit it to the instructor confidentially.
