Prof. Andreas Timm-Giel
Admission Requirements:
None
Recommended Previous Knowledge:
- Fundamentals of communication or computer networks
- Stochastics
Educational Objectives:
Professional Competence
Theoretical Knowledge
Students are able to describe methods for planning, optimisation and performance evaluation of communication networks.
Capabilities
Students are able to solve typical planning and optimisation tasks for communication networks. Furthermore they are able to evaluate the network performance using queuing theory.
Students are able to apply independently what they have learned to other and new problems. They can present their results in front of experts and discuss them.
Personal Competence
Autonomy
Students are able to acquire the necessary expert knowledge to understand the functionality and performance of new communication networks independently.
