Abstract:
The course objective is to familiarize students with the modern trends in cable and wireless network infrastructure
design. The course focuses on specialized IP modules for network infrastructure management, and it presents
network solutions based on controllable network switches with options for configuration and management. It
provides knowledge on specialized network infrastructures for monitoring and management. Special attention is
paid to mobile Internet access.
Course content:
Cable network infrastructure design. Specialized IP modules for network infrastructure management. Development
systems. Network functions. Network configuration. Network solutions based on controllable network switches with
options for configuration and management. Network switch architecture constructed on the basis of RTL8309SB
integrated circuit. Specialized network infrastructures for monitoring and management. Network infrastructure
supply and protection. Network resources management software. Wireless network infrastructure design. Mobile
Internet access. Analysis of the possibilities for mobile data exchange. Server response adaptation to mobile
users. Electromagnetic compatibility in modern communications.
Teaching and assessment:
The lectures are 2-classes a week and provide basic knowledge on NIA. The practical sessions are conducted
face-to-face in PC training rooms 4 classes a fortnight. Students are involved in practice-oriented tasks. The
continuous assessment during the practice sessions is based on the results from the allotted individual tasks. The
final assessment is a written exam conducted during the examination session. In addition to the lecture records
students get a list of recommended literature to help them prepare for the exam.

Abstract:
The purpose of the course is to introduce the students to the specifics and characteristics of the routing protocols,
used in IP networks – the most widely used and potentially the most interesting for the students type of networks.
The main reasons for the complexity of the routing algorithms are also being revised - they are the coordination
between the separate devices in the network, the congestion and others. The course introduces the two basic
classes of routing protocols – routing protocols in autonomous network segments and routing protocols between
autonomous network segments.
Course content:
Introduction to the theory of routing protocols. Structure of the routing tables. Routing protocols in autonomous
network segments. Protocols for routing between autonomous network segments. Routing protocols for the next
generation of IP networks.
Teaching and assessment:
The lectures are conducted 2 hours weekly, and the practical exercises are 4 hours every 2 weeks. The students
are preparing for the exercises, using the recommended literature. For each exercise the students prepare and
present to the teacher a report. The exam consists of written and oral parts.
