Class Information
| ECE 678 -- Integrated Telecommunications
Networks (3 units) Description: Analysis and design of integrated voice, data, and image networks for integrated telecommunications applications. Protocols for LANs, ISDNs, WANs, MANs and interoperable networks. ISO-based network software design for applications. This semester we will cover a network design problem focusing on Intelligent Sensing Systems. This design will include the use of the Unified Modeling Language (UML) to describe the design. We will investigate the feasibility of applying concepts from the Software Communications Architecture (SCA) to the design of sensing systems. We will explore issues of communications protocols for sensor networks (e.g., applying MANET protocols, the interconnection of sensor networks to higher level wired networks). We will discuss protocol architectures for applying the concepts of sensor fusion. An important role will be the application of existing standards (e.g., OMG Publish/Subscribe) and potential development of new standards. Prerequisite(s): ECE 578 Fundamentals of Computer Networks, or CS 525 Resources: We will not utilize a text this semesters but will draw on a number of resources from the literature and the web. |
