COMMUNICATION
OUTLINE
MOTIVATIONS
Recent Development
Satellite Communications
Telecommunication: Internet boom at the end of last decade
Wireless Communication: next boom? 4G/5G
Job Market
Probably one of most easy and high paid majors recently
Intel changes to wireless
Research Potential
One to one communication has less room to go, but
multiuser communication is still an open issue.

Theorem
How much information is
measured by Entropy
More randomness, high
entropy and more

TCP/IP ARCHITECTURE
TCP/IP is the de-facto
global data communications
standard.
It has a lean 3-layer
protocol stack that can be
mapped to five of the seven
in the OSI model.
TCP/IP can be used with
any type of network, even
different types of networks
within a single session.
