  2. General Introduction • Introduction • Aims, • Objectives and • Required Prior Knowledge • Syllabus • Assessment • Exam • Assignment(s) • Reading list and • Extended Reading list • Projects

  3. Module Aims To provide: • an understanding of the design parameters which affect network performance and digital communications systems, • an understanding of the problems of computer network design, • the techniques which can be applied, • the merits & limitation of these techniques.

  4. Module Objectives On completion students should be able to: • discuss the trade-off implicit in network design and criteria by which its performance can be measured, • analyse a proposed design against given criteria, • specify a network configuration to meet a given requirement, • explain the various parameters that effect performance, • critically appraise various algorithms and techniques for measuring performance • understand the basic principles of modelling and simulation.

  5. Important Prior Knowledge Students are assumed to be: • familiar with basic concept in data communications and with the operation of the protocols at the communications subnet layer (year1 and 2 topics) , • competent in the symbol manipulation skills to operate on the models.

  6. Syllabus • Performance analysis of encoding & modulation techniques • Block and convolutional codes, TCM, Hamming codes, Compression and expansion techniques, Huffman codes • Coding for security, encryption algorithms e.g. DES • Performance analysis of stop-and-wait ARQ and sliding window ARQ • Link utilisation • Performance analysis of MAC layer protocols e.g. ALOHA, • CSMA/CD, TOKEN BUS & RING, FDDI, and DQDB. • Priority mechanisms of IEEE802.4, IEEE802.5 and IEEE802.6 • Performance analysis of high speed LANs and MANs • Routing and congestion control, routing algorithms and maximum flow algorithms for WANs

  7. Assessment Assessment is by: • Exam • 2 hours exam which represents 70% of the total assessment • 4 or 5 questions, questions carry equal marks, you will be asked to answer 3 questions only. • each question will be divided into 3-5 short questions. • Coursework • written assignment which represents the other 30% of the total assessment (topics to be decided later). However, possible topics as follows: • simulation of priority mechanism (protocols) • implementation of TCM (combined coding and modulation) • simulation of maximum flow algorithm (routing)
