MSE Master of Science in Engineering

The Swiss engineering master's degree


Ogni modulo equivale a 3 crediti ECTS. È possibile scegliere un totale di 10 moduli/30 ECTS nelle seguenti categorie: 

  • 12-15 crediti ECTS in moduli tecnico-scientifici (TSM)
    I moduli TSM trasmettono competenze tecniche specifiche del profilo e si integrano ai moduli di approfondimento decentralizzati.
  • 9-12 crediti ECTS in basi teoriche ampliate (FTP)
    I moduli FTP trattano principalmente basi teoriche come la matematica, la fisica, la teoria dell’informazione, la chimica ecc. I moduli ampliano la competenza scientifica dello studente e contribuiscono a creare un importante sinergia tra i concetti astratti e l’applicazione fondamentale per l’innovazione 
  • 6-9 crediti ECTS in moduli di contesto (CM)
    I moduli CM trasmettono competenze supplementari in settori quali gestione delle tecnologie, economia aziendale, comunicazione, gestione dei progetti, diritto dei brevetti, diritto contrattuale ecc.

Advanced Communication Architectures (TSM_AdvComArc)

The course will first stabilize some ground knowledge as security,

detailed IP stack, network mobility background and quality of service approach.

Based on this, the module will define a red thread that starts with set of

service availability requirements used for defining architectures. Exploring

different architectures solutions will be the next aim that will let the

student have a complete overview how a modern and complex network providing

advanced services. The third section depicts prospective concepts like Next

Generation Network (NGN), Software Defined Network (SDN) and Network

virtualization Functions (NVF) that are actually deployed by the operators. The

course is completed with hands on exercises and measurement on a real IMS (IP Multimedia

Subsystem) operator infrastructure located in a data center.

 

The course covers the following core topics:

  • Reminder of basic knowledge
  • Modern architecture
  • Broadband technologies
  • Advanced and forward-looking solutions


Requisiti

  • Knowledge on IP stacks and all the corresponding protocols (Ethernet, IP, TCP/UDP and current application as HTTP)
  • Deep knowledge on data transmission and protocol principles

Obiettivi di apprendimento

At the end of the module the MSE student will be able to:

  • Depict the communication networks complexity and the corresponding architectures
  • Describe the management conditions of a complex and modern network
  • Describe and understand the failures and disturbances origins
  • Interpret and understand different network operation conditions
