| ITPG638 - Design & Analysis of NW |
(3 credit hours) |
Telecommunication networks have been growing in complexity and size at a
phenomenal rate over the past several years. Along with these developments come
more challenging problems in the design and planning of telecommunication
networks to suit particular business (or technological) settings. This course
focuses on the tools and techniques for the economic design of
telecommunication networks that meet the requirement (for example, reliability
and/or performance) goals of an organization. In particular, it emphasizes the
application of queuing methods, optimization and network models, and heuristic
search techniques for the design of modern communication networks.
Applications to VANETs, Call Center Design, Virtual Private Network Design,
Local Distance Networks, and Wireless & Satellite Communications will be
discussed.
