Semester:
Fall 2010

Instructor:
Dr. Sayeed Ghani

Program:
PhD (ICT/MIS/CSE)

Credits: (2 theory, 1 lab, 3 total)
This is a PhD level course that focuses on the architecture and performance evaluation of network protocols for data and telecommunications networks. Students are expected to have a strong mathematical background and an understanding of probability theory. Topics discussed will include: queuing theory, performance of data link and network layers; flow and congestion control and routing; Networks considered include: Local, Metropolitan and Wide Area Networks; issues in broadband, satellite, mobile and wireless networks. Network simulation will also be used to establish certain concepts where possible.

Prerequisite: CSE243 or equivalent; introductory probability course.
