1001628 - ARCHITETTURE E TECNOLOGIE DEI SISTEMI DI TELECOMUNICAZIONI A - Z
Expected Learning Outcomes
The aim of the course is to develop skills in terms of knowledge of the fundamental concepts and enabling technologies of IP communication systems, for fixed and mobile networks. It also aims to provide students with a critical view of the current technological evolution in telecommunication systems and networks.
Knowledge and understanding
By exploiting the knowledge acquired, the student will be able to identify the main problems and solutions that can be adopted in terms of architectures and technologies of communication systems.
Applying knowledge and understanding
The course aims to provide students with: a) the ability to understand the basic principles of mobile networks, the problems related to transmission in wireless channels and the standards of mobile networks; b) knowledge of the main architectures of wired networks and guided transmission media, with particular emphasis on optical fiber; c) knowledge of the issues related to infrastructures of mobile networks and wired networks, both in local area wide area.
Making judgements
In the context of the topics covered in the course, the student will be able to independently make the appropriate design choices based on specific requests. This ability is refined through numerical exercises.
Communication skills
The student will acquire the ability to rationally communicate his knowledge on the topics covered by the course, and to correctly use the related technical language.
Learning skills
Students can broaden their knowledge through the study of recommended textbooks or scientific papers published on specialized journals, and understand the legislation related to electronic communications and ICT services.
