KI550 (P222-0020) Computer Science and Communication Systems, Bachelor, ASPO 01.10.2014 , semester 5, mandatory course
Workload:
Workload of student for successfully completing the course. Each ECTS credit represents 30 working hours. These are the combined effort of face-to-face time, post-processing the subject of the lecture, exercises and preparation for the exam.

The total workload is distributed on the semester (01.04.-30.09. during the summer term, 01.10.-31.03. during the winter term).
60 class hours (= 45 clock hours) over a 15-week period.
The total student study time is 120 hours (equivalent to 4 ECTS credits).
There are therefore 75 hours available for class preparation and follow-up work and exam preparation.
Recommended prerequisites (modules):

Learning outcomes:
Building on the knowledge acquired in “Communications Technology and Systems 1”, the communications networks covered are extended to include private networks. The main focus of the course is on the coupling between communications networks above layer 2, though SDH (Synchronous Digital Hierarchy) technology is also discussed. The SDH transport system functions as the backbone in many modern professional communications networks. Students will be able to apply their knowledge, particularly that relating to multiplex structures, pointer systems and overhead functions, to developing solutions to networking problems.
