Intended learning outcomes

The course is intended to provide the participants knowledge in modeling and simulation of telecommunication networks. The course features software commonly used for telecommunication network simulation. In addition to the basic theory necessary for understanding network simulation, the course aims to give practical skills in using these tools to design and implement simulation models for performance analysis of wired as well as wireless networks. After completing the course, the students should be able to:< ul>

Describe the main quantitative methods for performance evaluation of telecommunication networks

Explain the advantages and drawbacks of using simulation as a tool for analysing telecommunication networks

Describe common assumptions, simplifications, and generalisations made in modeling telecommunication systems

Implement, verify and validate simulation models of telecommunication networks

Design, build, and experiment with simulation models, as well as evaluate the results obtained by simulation

Course content

Modeling and performance analysis of telecommunication networks. Tools and software for network simulation. Design, implementation, verification, and validation of simulation models for analysing wired and wireless networks. Evaluation and presentation of simulation results.
