Course Contents:
In this class the technologies that make today`s communication networks work are introduced and discussed.
This lecture covers basic knowledge about communication networks and discusses in detail the physical layer, the data link layer, the network layer and parts of the transport layer.
The physical layer, which is responsible for an adequate transmission across a channel, is discussed briefly. Next, error control, flow control and medium access mechanisms of the data link layer are presented. Then the network layer is discussed. It comprises mainly routing and congestion control algorithms. After that basic functionalities of the transport layer are discussed. This includes UDP, QUIC and TCP. The Internet is thoroughly studied throughout the class.
Detailed Topics are:


  • ISO-OSI and TCP/IP layer models
  • Tasks and properties of the physical layer
  • Physical layer coding techniques
  • Services and protocols of the data link layer
  • Flow control (sliding window)
  • Applications: LAN, MAN, High-Speed LAN, WAN
  • Services of the network layer
  • Routing algorithms
  • Broadcast and Multicast routing
  • Congestion Control
  • Addressing
  • Internet protocol (IP)
  • Internetworking
  • Mobile networking
  • Services and protocols of the transport layer
  • TCP, UDP, QUIC
