Protocols, modeling and analysis of telecommunication networks with emphasis on quantitative performance modeling of networks and systems using packet switching and circuit switching techniques. Introduction to convolutional codes and trellis-coded modulation. Research culminating in writing an engineering report to satisfy one of the requirements for the nonthesis option for the Master of Science degree. The engineering report is similar to the thesis but requires only departmental approval. May be repeated for additional credit.
Topics vary from year to year in keeping with developments in the field.
