Course description and aims

Nowadays, communication networks have become the essential infrastructure for our daily life.
The communication networks, such as the internet consist of various component technologies.
This course focuses on understanding the overview and the background mathematical theories of each component that configures the communication network.

Student learning outcomes

1. General understanding of the communication networking that is the essential knowledge for managing the local area network in the future carrier.
2. The understanding of the mathematical theories such as the signal modulation and the source coding theorem

Keywords

Internet protocol, Networking theory, Communication theory, Source coding theorem, Cryptographic theory

Competencies that will be developed

✔ Specialist skills Intercultural skills Communication skills Critical thinking skills ✔ Practical and/or problem-solving skills
