Course Code & Title TEM603-Wireless communication System
Credit – 3 Program - MBA (TEM-Specialization course)
Pre-requisites: None.
COURSE OBJECTIVES:
The Objective of the course is to teach student state-of-the-art technology in
modern telecommunications. Students will study topics such as digital
communications over the public telephone networks, switching systems, computer
telephony, modern operation, wireless communications, multimedia
communications, and optical fiber communication.
Course outline:
A. Ad hoc Networks (Multihop- Mobile-Multimedia network):
• Routing (Unicast, multicast, anycast, multi path),
• Flat and hierarchical proposals,
• Survivability,
• Quality-of-Service (QOS): increase data carrying capacity or/and differentiated service
• Power control,
• Addressing,
• Issues when integrated with fixed network, Can we suggest some nice architectures
B. Medium Access Control (MAC) for wireless medium:
• Capacity,
• Scheduling,
• Fairness,
• Quality-of-Service (QOS), power control, misbehavior detection, single hop and multi-hop
issues, Security (?)
• Various proposals for MAC schemes dealing with above issues.
• Promise of directional antenna in wireless Mac performance improvement
• Interaction and relationship between MAC performance and ad-hoc routing proposals,
cross layer design (new direction)
D. Network Layer Mobility Control:
• Handling location transparency in network layer: Handoff management,
• Handoff Latency and scalability issues (flat and hierarchical proposals),
• Managing Session mobility
• Various Architectures: Cellular IP, HAWAI, Mosquito Net and some more in survey
fashion
• Mobile IP Architecture in specifics
E. TCP and Mobility
