TELECOMMUNICATION SOFTWARE DESIGN
Bernard Ku
Comprehensive course to familiarize
telecommunications professionals with state-of-the-art software concept and technology in modern telecommunications applications. Focus on software process modeling, user interface design, CASE tool, reusability,
quality assurance, reliability, distributed computing, real-time operating system and database and understanding of Real Time Object-Oriented Modeling (ROOM) in analysis and design. High-level programming language
design concept such as C++ is required in telecommunications software development. Heavy emphasis on real world application topics including Central Office (CO) or Private Branch Exchange (PBX) switch, Computer
Telephone Integration (CTI), LAN-to-WAN Node Processor, Advanced Intelligent Network (AIN), Cellular/Personal Communications Service (PCS), Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM), Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN)
and demonstration of ObjecTime - a Real-Time Object-Oriented Modeling software tool.
Prerequisite: EETS 7301, or consent of instructor plus knowledge of one high level programming language, preferably Pascal, C or C++.

Special Topics: Switching and QoS Management in IP Networks
Cheng-Chung Chen
A
comprehensive course that provides broad knowledge of Internet Protocol (IP) switching and Quality of Services (QoS) management technology, protocols, and applications. Due to phenomenal growth of IP traffic in
recent years, the efficiency of traditional voice-based telecommunication networks in supporting IP dominated traffic becomes questionable. Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) has been viewed as a viable
candidate of next generation switching architecture in telecom networks and is under consideration for such a role in some standard body including Multiservice Switching Forum (MSF). It is important for students
in telecommunication program to understand this important technology. Part I of this course concentrates on fundamentals of IP switching architecture including the Internet Engineering Task Force’s (IETF) efforts
on IP switching technology, the commercial deployment on (MPLS) equipment, and its evolution toward IETF MPLS architecture. Part II addresses the mechanisms for QoS management in MPLS network, including MPLS
traffic engineering, MPLS support for differentiated services, MPLS signaling support for RSVP and Constraint-based Routing Label Distribution Protocol (CR-LDP). Policy-based architecture for QoS management methods will
also be discussed. Part III concentrates on applications and network evolution issues of MPLS technology including MPLS-based Virtual Private Network (VPN) architecture, “Ship in the Night” network architecture,
and MPLS over Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) networks.
