Students must have an adequate level of calculus, statistics and programming.
The course is divided into 2 parts. The first presents the architecture and protocols of the telecommunication networks, while the second focuses on the telecommunication network technologies.

During the course, we will carry out the following activities:
Annotation: Within the schedule set by the centre or degree programme, 15 minutes of one class will be reserved for students to evaluate their lecturers and their courses or modules through questionnaires.

The final grade of the subject, which includes assessment on the acquisition of knowledge, skills and competences, will be calculated by weighting:
A minimum final grade of 5 is required to pass the course.
When a student does not pass any of the parts that require a minimum mark, the average will be calculated with the marks obtained. If this average is equal to or less than 4.9, the final grade will be this average, whereas if it is greater than 4.9 the final grade will be 4.9 (S).
This course does not consider the single assessment system.
The assessment mechanisms used in the subject are described in more detail below.
The dates of continuous assessment and delivery of works will be published the first day of the course on the Virtual Campus and may be subject to possible changes due to adaptation to possible incidents. These changes will always be reported on the Virtual Campus since it is understood that this is the usual platform for the exchange of information between teachers and students.
The following assessment activities are planned:
Students may take the retaking process if they have taken a set of activities that represent at least two-thirds of the total grade of the course.
Retaking mechanisms will focus on activities 1) Portfolio, 2) Validation of Knowledge, 3) Laboratory sessions. In the event that a student has not passed any, or all of these parts, before the date of the final exam, this part can be retaken by means of a written test (cases 2 and 3), making a second delivery of the laboratory report (case 3) or finishing the Portfolio before that date (case 1). In case 1, if the student retakes the Portfolio part, a pass or fail will be obtained. If the student passes, a maximum mark of 5 will be obtained. If the student fails, the mark previously obtained in this part will be obtained.
For each assessment activity, a place, date and time of revision will be indicated in which the student will be able to review the activity with the teacher. In this context, claims may be made about the activity mark, which will be assessed by the teacher responsible for the subject. Unless otherwise noted, if the student does not attend this revision, this activity will not be reviewed later.
When a student has not done any work in laboratory, has not taken any of the partial or final theory written tests, and has a mark lower than 5 in the Portfolio, it will be considered that there are not enough assessment evidences, and the final mark will be "not assessable." The rest of students who have not passed the course will get a "Suspens" (fail) grade, with the mark obtained in the subject. Those students qualified with "Suspens" due to not having reached the minimum mark in any of the assessment tests, will have the mark got in the assessment exam that has not reached the minimum required (always taking the minimum mark in the case that the minimum in several tests is not obtained).
Honor grade (Matrícula d'Honor, MH): Granting an honor grade qualification is a decision of the faculty responsible for the subject. The regulations of the UAB indicate that MH can only be awarded to students who have obtained a final grade of 9.00 or more. It can be granted up to 5% of MH of the total number of students enrolled.
Without prejudice to other disciplinary measures deemed appropriate, and in accordance with current academic regulations, any irregularities committed by the student that could lead to a variation of the grade of an assessment act will be graded with a zero. Therefore, copying or allowing to copy a laboratory work/report or any other assessment activity will involve failing with a zero, and if it is necessary to pass it to pass the course, the whole course will be failed. The assessment activities qualified in this way and by this procedure will not be retaken, and therefore the course will be failed directly without the opportunity to retake it in the same academic year.
The repeater students will be able to validate the theory part of the subject. The way to calculate the final mark will be the same as mentioned above, taking the mark from the Portfolio, classroom activities and partial exam(s) of the part(s) of the theory to validate.
Repeater students will also be able to validate the practices separately. The way to calculate the final mark will be the same as mentioned above, taking the mark from the practice(s) to validate.
The laboratory sessions consist in the accomplishment of a series of works with which try to reach knowledge and abilities already seen in theory classes or totally new. It is considered equally important to have worked throughout the development of the practice, as well as having understood and learned the knowledge from them.
In the development of the course, four projects will be carried out in the fields of:
The specific details on the organization of the practices (groups, calendar, weighting, ...) and on their follow-up (reports, attendance requirements, policy on originality of the code, ...) can be downloaded from the Virtual Campus.
