Transmission of multimedia signals

Lectures:

• Digital communication between multimedia devices: terminals, video and audio devices, sensors and actuators.
• The digital multimedia signals, information and data rate
• Limitations of physical communication channel for the transmission of electrical signals, the transmission capacity of the communication channel
• Signal processing for transmission over the communication channel:
– signal coding
– digital modulation methods
– multiple access to a common medium
• Digital transmission systems for connecting portable multimedia devices over short distances: BAN, PAN, WLAN.
• Overview and comparison of current wireless technologies in practice, depending on the network topology, range, data rate and energy consumption.

Lab work:
• Experiments by using software tools for modeling digital transmission systems.
• Laboratory demonstration of basic building blocks in digital transmission systems.

• Measurements of digital signals and characteristics of the transmission system
• Experiments with multimedia communication devices.

• Understanding the restrictions on the transfer of digital signals on the physical transmission channel.

• Understanding the parameters for the evaluation of the transmission quality of multimedia signals over the communication channel.

• Knowledge on communication technologies that enable connectivity multimedia devices.

• Knowledge on communication protocols that enable inter-connectivity of multimedia devices.

Lectures in which the student is acquainted with the theoretical basics and lab work where the student meets the practical problems and solves them in the team.
