ECE 4823: Communications Networking Engineering
Calendar Description
ECE 4823, Communications Networking Engineering, 4 ch (3C 3L*)
Advanced network architectures: RSVP, MLPS, RTP. Modeling and simulation of
data networks: queuing models for media access, error control and traffic
management protocols, modeling of traffic and inter-arrival time, performance
analysis. Communication network design. Network management and security.
Prerequisites: STAT 2593 or STAT 3083; ECE 3221 or CS2545.
Wait-list Policy
This technical elective will not be offered until the winter of 2027.
There is a wait-list policy for ECE 4823, winter 2027.
- Undergraduate and graduate students must have passed the online required online lab safety test. The safety test is required each year and the score must be 100 percent. The link to the test changed each year; it will be posted in D2L courses once it is available.
- This is an in-person course only for students who are enrolled in a degree program at the University of New Brunswick. This is not an online course.
- If you want to take this course, I recommend that you sign up on the wait-list for the section. If you leave the course, or leave the wait-list, and try to re-enter by returning to the wait-list, you might not get back in the course. The course has filled up in in the past, it has not filled in recent years.
- The section is limited to 24 students due to the lab space.
- Undergraduate students must have passed the prerequisites, otherwise they will remain on the wait-list.
- Graduate students must have passed an equivalent to prerequisites in their undergraduate degree, otherwise they will remain on the wait-list.
- The first student on the wait-list is processed first.
- Each work day, between today and the day before the first day of classes in September, undergraduate students are processed on the wait-list, meaning on these days undergraduate students are given priority over graduate students. After a student is given permission to register, they will receive an email and they have approximately one day to register.
- On and after the first day of classes, both undergraduate and graduate students are processed on the wait-list and undergraduate and graduate students are treated equally; the first student on the wait-list is processed first. In other words, graduate students will not know if they are in the course until the first day of classes in September.
- This course is an undergraduate technical elective, not an undergraduate core course, and if you are unable to take this course due to limited enrollment, I regret the sitation, but you will have to find another course.
Online Information
