Problem Based Learning

Lecturer: Prof. Frank Fitzek	Assistant: M.Sc. Sreekrishna Pandi

Overview

The course offers hands-on learning to the topics which are discussed in the course “Communication Networks 3” using a problem-based learning approach. Various tools ranging from legacy network swiss army knives such as iperf and tcpdump to state-of-the-art virtualisation tools such as Docker  are introduced to the students. The tools complement and aid the understanding of the  “Communication Networks 3”  lecture through practical experience. Multiple members of the chair will offer lectures and tutorials on the tools every week based on their area of expertise to facilitate a varied and effective learning ecosystem.
Students will work in small groups on small projects related to these topics, which will be evaluated at the end of the course. The three main topics of the projects are Mobile Edge Cloud, Multipath communication and Network Slicing.
