Abstract:
The Wireless Technologies for Data Transfer course aims to present the students with knowledge of different
topologies and standards of wireless computer communication networks. It forms skills for independent solving of
technical tasks for designing wireless networks and selecting passive and active equipment. Course prerequisites
include Digital Television, Communication Networks and Terminals and Data and Computer Communications.
Course content:
The course topics are grouped in two principal directions: Wireless Technologies and Planning of a Wireless
Network. In the first thematic direction, students are introduced to different topologies of wireless networks and
different types of wireless equipment. Students are introduced to the 802.11x family standards for wireless
communications and the WiMAX standard. In the second thematic direction, students prepare a plan for
constructing a wireless network, prepare the address plan of the network nodes and select the passive and active
equipment. An economic evaluation of the entire project is required as well.
Teaching and assessment:
Lecture topics enable the students to get acquainted with the main theoretic issues of wireless data transfers
before doing the practical exercises. Students investigate the main characteristics of wireless networks at different
standards, using the available laboratory installations and measurement instruments. Lectures discuss mainly the
principles of wireless data transfers and wireless networks, while practical exercises focus on the main
characteristics of networks.

Abstract:
The project on Communication Networks and Systems aims at improving the knowledge of the students of the
perceptual matter of computer communication networks. It forms skills for independent solving of engineering
tasks such as structured cabling, selecting passive equipment and configuring active equipment. The course
project uses the knowledge acquired in the subjects Communication Networks and Systems, Data Transmission
and Computer Communications and Telegraphic Project Management.
Course content:
The subjects of the course projects are unified in one principle direction which is “Planning of a network using
structured cabling and selection of passive and active equipment“.
In the thematic direction, students prepare a plan for structured cabling using a given construction scheme,
prepare address plan for the network nodes and select the passive and active equipment. An economic evaluation
of the entire project is required as well.
Teaching and assessment:
At the beginning of the term each student receives an individual task. Students present intermediate results and
receive instructions for their future work weekly. The project is realized independently by the students.
The volume of the final version of the project is between 10 and 20 pages and consists of block schemes, principle
diagrams and engineering computation, as well as an economic evaluation of the project.
