2. Course Outline

2.1. Objectives

1. This course introduces the basic knowledge of Quality-of-Service (QoS). Four main issues will be addressed:
   1. Multimedia Applications
   2. QoS Fundamentals
   3. QoS Mechanisms
   4. Selected Standards

Note

We give an overview of the multimedia application. The fundamentals of Quality of Service (QoS) is then introduced. Some commonly used QoS Mechanisms will be given. Finally, we will use some popular wireless standards as examples to illustrate the usage of the QoS mechanisms. (The assessment for this part is through Midterm Exam).

2. Interpersonal & teamwork skills practice through 5 assignments.

Tip

Readme First: The jobs of the future – and two skills you need to get them

Note

Conclussion: The study shows that workers who successfully combine mathematical and interpersonal skills in the knowledge-based economies of the future should find many rewarding and lucrative opportunities.
