Course description: Reference model of telecommunication network. Fundamental telecommunication principles, communication channel, communication system, OSI model, electromagnetic spectrum. Transmission media and their selection criteria. Modulation techniques (analogue and digital) and multiple transmission and access techniques (FDM, TDM, WDM, FDMA, TDMA, OFDMA) used in contemporary telecommunications networks. Types of transmission networks and technologies depending on application and transmission medium. Overview of the most important telecommunication bodies and their role in standardization and definition of new solution. Examples of telecommunication network architectures (PSTN, VoIP, IP TV, GSM-UMTS-LTE, Wireless Sensor Network, Local Area Networks).
