Contact: 26 hours of lectures and approximately 17 hours of practice classes
Timetable: Second semester
Objectives:
On successful completion of this subject students should:
- have a solid foundation in the fundamentals of data communication and in particular, the techniques that are used to achieve the reliable transfer of data between two devices connected by means of a direct data path
- be familiar with the mode of operation and the various interface standards and protocols associated with the different types of data network that are used for computer to computer communication
- be familiar with the range of international standard protocols to achieve open systems interconnection in various application environments
Content:
Communication hardware; network topology; local area and long-haul networks; OSI model and alternatives; error control, integrity, security.
Assessment:
Up to three hours of written examinations at the end of the subject. Project work, which is expected to take about 36 hours, must be completed satisfactorily to pass the subject. Weighting of assessment components will be made known at the commencement of the subject.
