Description

This course introduces the communication methods of modern computers and devices along with the associated data privacy/security concerns and methods to address such concerns. Students will develop an introductory understanding of network hierarchy and modular design of computer communication systems. The course will first cover physical layer modulation schemes for wired/wireless data communications and data link layer standards for error detection/correction and medium access in wired networks, wireless local area networks (WLANs), and cellular networks. Network and Transport layer protocols will then be introduced and evaluated. Performance metrics for capacity, fairness, security, and reliability will be introduced at different layers of the network stack.
