The aim of the course is the analysis of the characteristics of telecommunications systems, from the telephone network to data packet/switch network to wireless networks. Among the issues that will be addressed, the performance evaluation in terms of quality, security and cost of service will be discussed. Multimedia communications and Internet of Things communication systems will be analyzed. Lab sessions will be dedicated to the design and implementation of Internet of Things communication networks.
