Anotation:

Subject is devoted to principles and technologies of distributed systems (DS) and to their employment in typical applications. Physical layer media, analog and digital modulations, DS topologies, MAC methods, coding and cryptography basics are introduced. Widely used standard systems are then presented together with their features. Internet protocols are explained and internetworking approaches presented. Finally the typical industrial applications of distributed systems are introduced.

Course outlines:

1. Introduction, basic terms definition, ISO/OSI model, layer functionality
2. Metallic, optic a wireless physical media, features and application parameters
3. Analog and digital modulations, principles, features and applications
4. MAC methods and their characteristics, data transfer types, channel capacity sharing, physical and logical topologies
5. Channel coding, error detection and correction coding, symmetric and asymmetric ciphering, digital signature
6. Computer networks (particularly IEEE 802.3), versions, active elements, deterministic scheduling
7. Industrial distributed systems (FF, CANopen, Profibus, ), specific features and applications
8. Wireless networks I (IEEE 802.11, IEEE 802.16)
9. Wireless networks II (IEEE 802.15, ZigBee, Bluetooth, RFID)
10. Networks and modems (PSTN, xDSL, GSM, PLC, cable, radio), parameters and applications
11. Internetworking, routing in local networks, data flow control methods
12. TCP/IP basics (ARP, RARP, DNS )
13. Session and presentation layer protocols
