This course will give a thorough understanding of how TCP/IP and GPRS cooperate by illustrating their properties from a performance perspective. In addition, Quality of Service and future improvements of TCP, like snoop, M-TCP and Eifel will be discussed.
TCP has since the beginning of the 1980s been developed to function in many different types of networks with different bandwidth and/ or latency properties, but is now faced with the challenges of working well in wireless networks. As the commercial GPRS networks are becoming operational, the focus is shifted towards performance in practice rather than in theory.
Objectives
You will learn how transfer capacity depends on different properties and mechanisms in TCP/ IP and GPRS and how you can influence the result by choosing different configurations in the system. You will also get a glimpse of the current research front. |
Who should attend?
This course is valuable to anyone who works with design, development and optimization of GPRS networks and applications.
Previous knowledge
This course requires basic knowledge of TCP/ IP and good knowledge of GPRS, its nodes and protocols, equivalent to "GPRS - Protocols and Procedures".
Course Material
The course literature is in English and consists of in-house developed course material including a detailed reference list, together with the Douglas E. Comer book "Internetworking with TCP/IP - Principles, Protocols and Architectures".
