Communication technology
FEKT-BKOMAcad. year: 2012/2013
Networks and protocols – communication models, methods of information transmission, reasons for usage of networks, basic structure of networks, types of networks, architecture of communication systems, ISO/OSI reference model, TCP/IP network model. Principles of communication techniques – multiple utilization of transmission channels, duplex communication. Analysis of tasks of every layer of communication models with respect to ISO/OSI and TCP/IP – physical layer, data-link layer, network layer, transport layer, session layer, presentation layer and application layer.
