Analytical modelling and simulation of communication networks and systems are fundamental disciplines that engineers and researchers working in this field must be familiar with in order to evaluate alternative concepts and designs.

Topics addressed in this course are: access protocols of local area networks; access algorithms in regional and access networks; satellite access mechanisms; routing algorithms; congestion control mechanisms; buffering strategies; bandwidth allocation strategies; quality-of-service connection control; blocking of switching units; blocking of connection setups; network planning methods; system and network dimensioning methods; wavelength allocation in photonic networks.
