Course Title: Communication and Cyber Law
Course No: ICTED 323 Full marks: 75 + 25 Nature of Course: Theory and Practical Pass marks: 35% + 40% Period per week: 6 + 3 150per year Course Description: The communication system consists of introduction to telephone network, different types of transmission system and media, concepts of multiplexing and multiple access techniques, principles of pulse code modulation, and different types of switching techniques and systems. The course in networking lays out the principles of basics of networking, understanding of network topologies and network architecture, study of network software and reference model. It also deals with physical layers and its design issues, data link layers, transmission control protocol/ internet protocol reference model, network layer and internet layer, principles of network server and protocols, network management and security, and study of information and communication technology and cyber law with respect to Nepal’s context General Objectives
