 OBJECTIVES

This course shows most important architectures implemented currently for telecommunication services in both public and private networks. First, an introduction chapter resumes the historic development of networks to their corresponding evolution in future. Next chapters describe the current architectures at a logical level (switching, routing) from traditional circuit switching and ATM to IP networks and next generation IP like IMS. At the physical level, it’s considered a spectrum from PDH to SDH and its evolution to next generation SDH.

The objective of this course to provide the student a perspective of the architecture evolution from service dedicated networks, integrated services networks to the last concepts of a service platform where different access networks are integrated with a unique core network (Next Generation Network), implemented by traditional operators, or Next Generation Internet, that is going to be implemented by service and Internet transport providers (ISP/PTP).

 SYLLABUS
  Lesson 1. Introduction (4 h).

Historical development of telecommunication networks. Future perspectives. Telecommunication networks classification and models..

  Lesson 2. IDN,ISDN, PDN, Frame Relay (6h non-presential +2h presential).

Developmet of the PSTN to the ISDN. Development of data networks to Frame Relay. Concept and resume about FR: services, protocol, congestion control, networks and aplications.

  Lesson 3. SONET and JDS (8h).

Digital transmission. Synchronism in the transmission layer, PDH and equipments. SDH architecture, equipments, network structure and design. SDH networks expansion with WDM and DWDM.

  Lesson 4. ATM architecture and correspondind services (8h).

ATM principles. Standarization organisms. ATM network concept. Protocol IUP architecture, ATM layer, AAL layer, signalling, routing, management, CBR, UBR, ABR, services. IP and ATM.

  Lesson 5. IP networks and the way to NGN/NGI (12h).

Current IP networks principles. Problems with real time services integration. Real time services protocol snack (H.323, SIP, RPT, RTCP). NGN concept and architecture. Evolution of ISP networks to NGI, interconnection problems. New challenges in telecommunications market regulation.

 EVALUATION CRITERIA

The course and the evaluation are divided in the following parts:

  • Lectures, where the basic content of the course is exposed.
  • Practices in dimensioning different types of networks, done in groups of four student guided by the teacher.
  • Work on an specific issue of the course, also done in group and guided by the teacher.

Evaluation is divided according the following scheme:

  • Active participation in the lectures and the works exposition.
  • Making two auto-evaluation tests about the content of the lectures.
  • Results of the practices.
  • Results of the work in both, the technical report and its exposition
  • Result of the final exam (test)
