After the course the Student will be able to design and manage a wired/wireless corporate telecommunication network. In particular, the Student will learn through lectures and lab experience knowledge about dimensioning, configuration, and deployment of a private telecommunication network.
Course contents
First Part (Prof. Alessandro
Vanelli-Coralli)
The first part of the course aims at providing the principles
for the design of a digital communication link.
The following subjects are addressed:
- Digital modulations (L-PSK, M-QAM,
L-FSK)
- Matched filter and digital modulation
performance in AWGN
- Elements of error correction coding
- Principles of multiple access and
multiplexing
- Link dimensioning (link budget)
Introduction to Linux systems
- Basic Linux commands
- Network interface configuration, IP aliasing, DHCP
- Virtual LAN configuration
- IP forwarding, firewalls and NAT (iptables)
- Open-source router implementation (quagga software)
- VPN set-up with IPsec
- Network services management
