Summary
The student will be acquainted with the issue of public service systems (SHO) used in telecommunications technology. They will also understand the problems of operational load; they will also understand the meaning of the 1st and 2nd Erlang equations and the concepts of QoS and QoE. As part of network modeling, they will learn to work with OMNeT
Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit
Understand the principles of modeling and dimensioning of telecommunications networks. Learning outcomes are set so that students are able to identify, apply, and solve problems in the field of modeling and to the dimension of telecommunications networks.
Course Contents
1. Introduction. Topological models of communication networks. Blocking problem.
2. Dimensioning and classification of service systems, queue issues.
3. Models used to simulate loss and delay.
4. Simulation and modeling of telecommunication systems. Discrete Event Simulation (DES).
5. Network emulation using GNS3 tool.
6. Dimensioning and modeling of LPWAN properties.
7. OMNeT ++ and NS3 tool for simulation and modeling of communication systems, differences, advantages, basic orientation in the environment, other tools (Riverbed Modeler, Qualnet)
