ECE 547 Introduction to Computer Communication
Networks
|
|
A qualitative and quantitative study of the
issues in design, analysis and operation of computer communication and
telecommunication networks as they evolve towards the integrated networks of
the future employing both packet and circuit switching technology.
The course covers packet and circuit switching, the OSI standards architecture
and protocols, elementary queueing theory for performance evaluation, random
access techniques, local area networks, reliability and error recovery, and
integrated networks.

ECE 695N Wireless Communication Networks (next
taught: Spring 2005)
|
|
|
This course will cover fundamental concepts in mobile wireless systems such as
propagation and fading, cellular systems, channel assignment, power control,
handoff, mobility management. It will also cover system and standards issues
including second generation circuit switched and third generation packet
switched networks, wireless LANs, and mobile IP. Besides providing and
overviewing current technologies, the emphasis on the course will be to
identify the challenges that face the engineering of wireless communications
networks.

ECE 647 Advanced Course in Networking
|
|
|
The mathematical background needed for the performance and
stability analysis of computer communication
networks is developed. Point processes, Markov processes, and
queueing processes are used in the modeling and analysis of queues, interconnected
queues such as ARPANET, and random multiple access networks such as
Xerox's ETHERNET. Distributed control of random access networks and
centralized control of queueing networks is
considered. The techniques developed are useful in the design
of computer systems as well as computer networks.

ECE 302 Probabilistic Methods in Electrical
Engineering
|
|
|
Basic calculus skills; differential equations;
familiarity with basic concepts of circuits and linear system analysis,
such as convolution; familiarity with Fourier analysis and two-sided
transforms used in solving linear systems
and differential equations.

ECE 643 Stochastic Processes in Information Systems
|
|
|
Many different communication and information systems will
be examined, with the emphasis on determining the
fundamental questions each one poses. For instance, an examination
of computer networks and computer systems will be shown to lead to questions
about conditions which guarantee stable operation, while an examination of
optical communication systems will lead to questions about
communications in the presence of impulsive noise.
Other examples that will be used include estimation in dynamic
environments, speech modeling, signal detection, and the modeling of neural
processes. The stochastic processes that will be
developed for the modeling and analysis of these
systems include: Markov Chains and Processes; Point Processes: Brownian
Motion; and Martingales.
