Aim:
The course is intended to provide the participants knowledge in modeling and simulation of telecommunication networks.
The course features software commonly used for telecommunication network simulation. In addition to the basic theory necessary for understanding network simulation, the course aims to give practical skills in using these tools to design and implement simulation models for performance analysis of wired as well as wireless networks. After completing the course, the students should be able to:<
ul>
Describe the main quantitative methods for performance evaluation of telecommunication networks
Explain the advantages and drawbacks of using simulation as a tool for analysing telecommunication networks
Describe common assumptions, simplifications, and generalisations made in modeling telecommunication systems
Implement, verify and validate simulation models of telecommunication networks
Design, build, and experiment with simulation models, as well as evaluate the results obtained by simulation
