Master of Science in Telecommunication Engineering

Professionalize yourself to lead the management of information and communication technologies from innovation and improvement of competitiveness

Projects of telecommunication networks and systems I

Description
The course focuses on IP protocol communication network technologies in local and distributed environments that allow today's companies to work in common corporate environments, as well as in more specific production environments. In order to work on a real scenario, a practical case is reproduced that merges various real cases of large IP network projects in the national audiovisual environment, adapting it to the learning process and the scope of the course, as well as adapting the syllabus according to the constant technological developments in the sector.

Objectives

The general objectives of the course are the following:

- Design an IP communications network based on a set of real requirements

- Understand and apply multiple protocols common in IP networks to be able to satisfy the requirements of the case

- Self-learning of technologies to improve the ability to adapt to constantly changing technological environments

- Validate the proposed design through simulation in computer simulation tools

- Presentation of complete solutions that cover the entire service cycle according to the IT service provision methodology

Contents

1. Contextualization of the case in the audiovisual industry
2. Design of the local area network
3. Design of the long-distance network
4. Design of the Internet interconnection
5. Design of the content dissemination system
6. Design of the operating service
7. Global integration of subsystems

Methodology

The training activities used in the subject are:

- Assimilation of the associated concepts

- Personal work

- Evaluation activities.

Each session is divided into three parts:

- Before the session, the teacher gives the syllabus for the next session, as well as some general guidelines for students to search for information on the field

- In the first part, the teacher validates the work done by the students and imparts the basic knowledge that has been missed so that the students can research and complete the task.

- The rest of the session is dedicated to implementing the case. The teacher assists students who require it to clarify any possible doubts that may arise.

Evaluation

The assessment activities used in the subject are:

- Group work

- Class participation

- Exams

- Daily tests

- Presentations

The final grade is based on the overall and individual assessment and will be composed of a weighted percentage between the class grades, the deliverables and the grade of the final project that will be presented to speakers who will assess, as if it were a real project, the viability of the proposed design.

Evaluation Criteria

The evaluation is based on two fundamental pillars:

- Individual grade (50%). The individual grade is the result of evaluating the student's performance individually in each class, basically by completing short test exams to validate class preparation (objective grade) as well as their own participation in class activities (subjective grade). As many grades are obtained as there are classes in the subject.

- Group grade (50%). The group grade evaluates students for their group work by completing partial deliverables (40%) and the final presentation (10%) in front of the entire class and an external panel of professionals active in the industry. Specifically, there are 6 partial deliverables plus the final presentation that must present the project as a whole as if it were the presentation of a real project. The Group grade is the same for all students in the Group.
