Instructions about the course:

• The laboratory works can be done in groups 2-3 persons (actually this is preferred).
• You get the credits from this course when you decide that you will not do any more tasks and inform me that you want the credits transferred to study registry.
• Reserve about 8 hours of time in laboratory to complete each work.
• As prerequisities these laboratory works require Subject studies in mobile computing, telecommunication or embedded systems. Also other possible courses are listet among the work in question. By going through the possible pretasks and the instructions for a particular laboratory work you can see if you have the required knowledge. If you need to supplement your knowledge you can do it yourself too, not neading to take a particular course.
• Contact me to reserve time to work in the laboratory.
• Do possible pretask beore coming to laboratory and look through the instructions below and print a copy for yourself before the lab.
• How to write reports of the different assingments:
• In the report you answer to questions presented in the instructions of the assignment.
• If the assignment has pretasks/assignments those must be done and returned before you do the assignment at the laboratory.
• When returning the report of the pretask it should include a short introduction and refer to the references you have used.
• Keep track of all the hours you use on a work, including hours used on preliminary tasks and the final report. Attach your working hours to the report.

Short description of the laboratory works of the course

• Domain -work (1 ECTS cr)
• In this task a small Domain is setup with Windows and Linux servers. The user administration is done with the Windows server and home directories for the user are created to both the Windows and Linux servers.
• Instructions, and help to configuring Samba.
• Recommended prerequisities: TIEA324 Local Area Networks
• Mobile IPv6 -work (1 ECTS cr)
• In this laboratory work you get to familiarize to the mobility in Mobile IPv6 networks. In this work you will familiarize yourself first with the IPv6 protocol and learn to use Linux as a router. After that you will move to the Mobile IPv6 extension and to the installation of the necessary tools in Linux. Finally, you will run some tests with the working Mobile IPv6 network and study how it works in practice.
• Instructions, which include the pretasks.
• Recommended prerequisities: TIEA322 Communication protocols
• Routing work (1 ECTS cr)
• In this work routing is studied in a network that has Cisco routers and a Windows 2000 Server runing as a router. You design static routing tables and study the use of OSPF and RIP routing protocols.
• Instructions, and the pretasks.
• Recommended prerequisities: TIEA322 Communication protocols
• Network Security work (1 ECTS cr)
• In this laboratory work you configure a Linux-based firewall between external, internal and DMZ networks. As firewall you get to configure iptables and shorewall.
• Instructions, which include the pretasks.
• Recommended prerequisities: TIEA222 Network Security
• Modicom works (1-7 ECTS cr):
• In these works you make connections to a laboratory board, measure signals and answer questions about theory and the measuremens. Each work has one folder that includes a little theory, connction instructions, measuremnts to be done and the questions to be answered. It takes about 8 hours to go through one folder if the theory is known beforehand. These Modicom works do not include pretasks and you return only the answers to the questions. Below is listed the contents of the folders in the order prefered for taking the tasks.
• An Introduction to Digital Communications, Volume 1 (includes: Pulse Modulation, Waveform Sampling, Low Pass Filters, Pulse Amplitude Modulated System)
• An Introduction to Digital Communications, Volume 2 (includes: Time Division Multiplexing, Synchronization, The Complete PAM-TDM System)
• An Introduction to Digital Communications, Volume 3 (includes: Pulse Code Modulation, Error Detection and Correction, System Troubleshooting)
• Further Digital Communications / Delta Modulation (includes: Delta Modulation, Delta Modulation in practice, Adaptive Delta Modulation, Delta-Sigma Modulation)
• Further Digital Communications / Data Conditioning and Carrier Modulation (includes: NRZ (Non-Return to Zero), RZ (Return to Zero), Biphase codes, Three-level codes, Amplitude and Freguency Shift Keying, Phase Shift Keying)
• An Introduction to Analog Communications (includes: Introduction to Communication Systems, Amplitude Modulation, Single-Sideband Amplitude Modulation, Frequency Modulation, Frequency Demodulation Techniques
• Fiber Optic Technology (includes: Theory of Fiber Optics, Investigation of Transmission Losses, Investigation of Coupling Losses, Analog verses Digital Modulation, Indirect Analog Modulation, Polishing Fier Optic Cable
• Recommended prerequisities: TIES324 Signal Processing
