What it is about
You learn methods for planning communication networks: from traffic and demand modeling through topology and dimensioning decisions to resilience, multilayer, and multi-period planning. In the end you can model planning problems, apply suitable solution approaches, and perform practical analyses with a network planning tool.
What you will be able to do
- Explain methods of network planning
- Create traffic and demand models
- Plan topologies and locations
- Perform network dimensioning for circuit- and packet-switched networks
- Apply resilience and redundancy concepts
- Consider multilayer and multi-period planning
- Implement and analyze plans practically with a tool
