Business Data Communication

Spring 2015

T Th 10:30-11:45

    Course Outline: This course provides an introduction to internet data communications including wide-area networks, local-area networks, cellular network and protocols. Transmission, media, signal encoding, link control and multiplexing are discussed. Interconnectivity issues are discussed including circuit and packet switching. Integration of computer assets using LAN and wireless LAN is covered. Internetworking and transport protocols (TCP/IP) are  examined with TCP congestion control. Basic wireless communication environment and cellular networks are also dicsussed.
