EE 434 Communication and Computer Network Simulation
Deals with simulation modeling and performance evaluation of communication networks. Presents simulation of network elements and overall networks. Simulated network elements include point-to-point, multicast and broadcast links, satellite and radio links, queueing systems, and circuit and packet switches. Simulated overall networks include Local Area Networks (LAN), packet switched (X.25) networks, and Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) based Broadband Integrated Services Digital Networks (BISDN), mobile radio and packet video networks. Development of simulation models for audio and video traffic sources and flow and congestion control algorithms. Discussion of methods of presentation, analysis, and interpretation of simulation outputs. Course will use OPNET software packages to provide hands-on experience. If students do not meet requisite requirements, permission of the instructor is required.
