The course gives a broad overview of the principles and techniques for modern communication systems. The knowledge is built by the students actively investigating how simple platforms can be made to communicate with each other under varying degrees of difficulty (choice of transmission medium and modulation, broken links, resource sharing, congestion etc). Then, a theoretical explanation and augmented solution for general cases is presented. A recurring element in the course is how the same principles can be used to solve problems on several different levels in the communication system, and the need to establish protocols for communicating.
