In the laboratory, following resources are available.
Computer network Laboratory:
Computer networks form an integral part of a computer science and engineering graduate, they learn different types of network topologies, management commands, OSI model, various protocols and their implementation. In this lab, students demonstrate the operation of networks and its management commands using network simulation tool i.e, NS2. They also find the performance of GSM and CDMA wireless networks. In this lab they implement the Data Link Layer and Transport Layer protocol.
Understanding of Local Area Network : Understanding of Local Area Network (LAN) kit provides the understanding of all the fundamentals of networking. It helps the users to gain knowledge on all network layers, cable designing and building of complete network of computers. The users can understand and actually implement various topologies using different standards given by IEEE. Actual connections can be made in different topologies and data can be transferred. The users will understand the protocols, topologies used in networking, measurement of error rate, throughput and effect of errors on protocols. The versatile software provided with kit will assist the users to observe the various effects and configurations on network along with the graphical representation.
Other than above laboratories there is MATLAB licence software and some open source software are utilized for simulation purpose for the subjects of optical communication, advanced computers Network, antenna design and advanced digital signal processing.
