General:
The course in Fall 1999 is given in English (mainly intended for the participants of the
Master's Programme in Telecommunication).
The course in Spring 2000 will be given in Finnish. In addition, note that all of the course material
is exclusively distributed electronically (via the web pages).
Status:
This course is for students with option Telecommunications and Computer Science.
It is an obligatory course for the major/minor Teletraffic Theory. In addition,
it is optional for the students enrolled in the
Master's Programme in Telecommunication. The course is an introductory course
for the courses S-38.143 (Queueing Theory), S-38.147 (Simulation of Telecommunication Networks)
and S-38.141 (Teletraffic Theory).
Credits:
This course is worth 2 credits.
Object:
The course will be a first step into the world of traffical issues in telecommunications.
More precisely, the purpose is to familiarize the participants with
- mathematical modelling of various telecommunication systems (both single resources
and the whole networks) and their traffic,
- performance analysis and dimensioning of such systems (including some mathematical
methods needed),
- methods used for traffic management (and their analysis).
Prerequisites:
The participants are assumed to have a basic course in probability.
Entry:
Obligatory enrolling is through WWW-TOPI.
Lectures (2 hours/week):
Lectures will be held on Mondays between 12-14 in room S3. The first lecture will be held on
- Monday 13.9. starting at 12.15 in room S3.
Note, however, that the lecture on Monday 15.11. will be held in room S1 (instead of S3). Altogether
there will be 12 lectures. The material presented in the lectures will be available on the web page
"Lectures". The participants are supposed to retrieve the material by
themselves. No hardcopies are distributed by the organisers.
Exercises (1 hour/week):
Exercise classes will be held on Wednesday mornings between 8-9 in room S3. The first exercise
class will be held on
- Wednesday 29.9. starting at 8.15 in room S3.
Altogether there will be 10 exercise classes. The material presented in the exercise classes will be
available on the web page "Exercises" The participants are supposed
to retrieve the material by themselves. No hardcopies are distributed by the organisers.
Examination:
The (first) examination will be held on
- Friday 17.12. starting at 9.00 (and ending at 12.00) in room S1.
There will also be retrial examinations for those who do not pass the first examination.
Examination will be based both on the lectures and the
exercises. No other material is required. Note that most of the
problems in the examination will be similar to those presented in the exercises. Therefore, it is
highly recommended to try to solve the given exercises by yourself and to participate in the exercise
classes.
Course completion:
To complete the course, the student has to pass the examination.
