Routing Protocols, Cellular Network Technologies, Wireless/Wired Network

Standards and Wireless/Wired Security) and do a research that covers the
following aspects.
Section A Consists of following chapters:

Chapter 1: Introduction
Chapter 2: Literature review on (your chosen topic) and problem statement.
Chapter 3: Methodology
Note: It should contain a review of literature on at least 10 research papers from

trusted sources i.e good journals and/or high citation papers, (not older than 2016)
within the same area that covers a topic or challenge in network communications.
The literature review must state the weakness of the previous studies or research.
Explore any gaps that exist in the literature to be your problem statement.
Methodology is where to present your systematic and theoretical analysis of the
methods.
Section B
Simulation (30%): Students should simulate the chosen topic by providing a case using
any network simulators (NetSim/NS2/GNS3/Cisco Packet Tracer) and measure the
performance metrics for at least “throughput” and “delay”. The simulation part is
highlighted below. The results and discussion should contain your results/findings (such
as graphs, charts, descriptive statistics), that are convincing, well explained and analysis
support.
Section B Consists of following chapters:
Chapter 4: Simulation of the network for your chosen scenario.
Chapter 5: Results and discussion
Preferred Simulator: NetSim
Overall, the assignment has five (5) chapters as follows:
Chapter 1: Introduction
Chapter 2: Literature review on (your chosen topic) and problem statement.
Chapter 3: Methodology
Chapter 4: Simulation of the network for your chosen scenario.
Chapter 5: Results and discussion
