Learning objectives

Knowledge

• Must have knowledge about the network planning process, including the planning of backbone, distribution and access networks, and of the tools involved in this process.
• Must have knowledge of network topologies and structural quality of service.
• Must have knowledge of GIS data and handling of these.
• Must have knowledge about localization techniques.
• Must have knowledge about advanced queuing models, including matrix analytical and matrix exponential models

Skills

• Must be able to understand simple and advanced traffic and queuing models, and apply these in analysis of real-life traffic systems.
