FUNDAMENTALS OF COMPUTER NETWORKS

Course Description

This is an introductory course in computer networks. It first introduces uses of Computer Networks in Business, Home and Mobile environment. Next discusses types of computer network range from personal area network to Internet. It then studies the implementation principles and design issues at each layer of network models. Lecture topics include: OSI and TCP/IP models, data transmission basics, data-link, application Layer protocols, guided and unguided transmission, satellite communication ( LEO, MEO, GEO) digital modulation and multiplexing, PSTN and Mobile telephone systems. Laboratory work focuses on building and studying a physical network using network devices, wired and wireless medium.
