Course Objective:

The course covers the fundamental methods in the design and analysis of telecommunication networks. The main emphasis is on the methodology that remains valid on the long term and do not depend strongly on frequently changing applications. Outline of topics are:

· Introduction to the network planning problem

· Mathematical programming for planning

· Network algorithms for planning

· Elements of network reliability

· Optimization for network design

· Network data analysis

· Elements of link level and

· Network level traffic modeling and analysis.
