CES 547 - Digital Switching:Techniques and Architectures

Unit(s): 3 Lecture: 3 hours

Review of switching techniques, synchronous and asynchronous transfer modes (i.e., STM and ATM), and various switch architectures. Multirate and multipoint-to-multipoint switching, ATM switching, signaling and call set-up, ATM switch-architectures and their performance evaluation, and multicasting techniques. VLSI implementation considerations, future directions. The course may require significant lab and/or project activity.

Grading: GRD
Prerequisite(s): MATH 345, ES 230, ES 231, and CES 440, or consent of instructor.
