Description

Medium Access Control and Resource Management for wireless and wireline networks and their performance analysis:
- Medium Access Control (MAC)
- performance analysis based on queueing theory
- (wireless) contention-based MAC (e.g. in WLAN, Ethernet)
- resource partitioning, polling
- cellular network resource management: OFDMA, scheduling algorithms, cellular principles, protocols (e.g. LTE, 5G)
- packet switching, label switching (MPLS), routing
- Software Defined Networking (SDN)

Prerequisites

Basic knowledge of communication networks and their analysis:
- packet based networking
- data communication protocols incl. TCP/IP
- evaluation methods for communication network performance analysis

Teaching and learning methods

Learning method:
In addition to the individual methods of the students consolidated knowledge is aspired by repeated lessons in exercises and tutorials.

Teaching method:
During the lectures students are instructed in a teacher-centered style. The exercises are held in a student-centered way where examples of state-of-the-art wireless and wireline communication systems are discussed and calculated.

In addition, students are asked to read 1-4 scientific articles to be discussed during the lecture and tutorial hours to link the methods to current challenges for future communication standards.
