Course description and aims
The overview of modern communication systems and related research topics will be introduced by leading researchers in the front lines of the information and communication industries.
In the first half of this course, we present an overview of speech/audio/video transmission methods, costs and qualities as well as presentation qualities, by reviewing their roles and needs in communication systems. Through this part, students understand fundamental principles behind the speech/audio/video coding techniques found, e.g., MPEG international standards and their applications. Moreover, students understand the importance of standardizations and differentiations for securing intellectual properties.
In the second half of this course, we consecutively discuss core, access networks and IP networks after explaining the overview of the communication networks. Moreover, we discuss the network service trends and a future roadmap of the communication networks.
Student learning outcomes
1) Students will understand the evolution of communication systems, latest research activities and the future technology trends.
2) Students will understand the importance of standardization and intellectual property rights.
3) Students will learn pros and cons for wireline (especially optical fiber) communication and mobile communication. And they learn technologies that contribute to current communication networks.
4) Students will learn the advanced technologies, trends, and future issues with the reference of the latest international conferences and technical papers.
