| Course Overview: |
Data communication and networking are changing the way we do business and the way we live. Business decisions have to be made very quickly and the decision makers require immediate access to accurate information. Businesses today rely on computer networks and internetworks. Some of the key points in network are what types of technologies are available and which design best fills which set of needs.
This course intends to develop strong background knowledge as well as core expertise in data communication and networking technologies, which one of the fastest growing industries in today’s world. Topics include network models, OSI Model, TCP/ IP Protocol, analog and digital signal, data rate limitation, digital to analog conversion, analog to digital conversion, transmission model, Multiplexing, transmission media, Circuit-Switched Technology, telephony and cable network, and error detection and correction algorithms . Use of simulation software OPNET.
