Communication Systems (E)

Basics of network technology (TCP / IP), basics of programming in any programming language.

This lecture provides the "technical substructure" of communication systems:

• Layer architectures, transfer of data between the layers
• Practical analysis based on specific source code examples
• Protocols and practical protocol design
• Topologies, buses, arbitration procedures, addressing procedures
• Bit transmission (wired and wireless), interference protection
• (Real) time behavior, determinism and synchronization (IEEE1588)
• Field buses
• Stacks: TCP / IP, Bluetooth, ZigBee, Modbus, CAN (open), LoraWAN, NFC

The students

• understand the importance of a clear separation of layers. They can apply this knowledge to and analyze protocol stacks.
• can develop independent protocols on the basis of this knowledge and / or make extensions to existing protocols and anchor them in the protocol stack.
• know different communication topologies and infrastructures and understand the resulting framework conditions for independent implementation.
• can evaluate the importance of fieldbuses in practice and apply them in a targeted manner.

Concepts and basics as a lecture. The students each work on a specific technology in small teams, present the results in the plenary and also prepare an exercise unit on this technology in which all students participate.
