INTRODUCTION
This document includes a report on the work and results of the WP3 “Creation of new curriculum for academic master studies in DBBT” within the task 3.3 ” New curriculum for academic master studies in the field of DBBT”.
The working groups consist of representatives of following institutions: UPKM, UNIBL, UNBI, SINGI, VSB-TUO, UL, UPM, UTARTU, TVMREZA, JPETV and ATV.
Task 3.3 and individual steps
Institutions preparing an Academic Master Studies in DBBT are: UPKM, UNIBL, UNIBI and SINGI.
In next part of this report, the progress is reported and achieved results.
Information on WP 3.3 organization were provided within our project meeting in Madrid on 28-29 September 2016 at UPM. The expected aim was explained in detail and based on discussion all participations agreed with following steps:
- to design a new curriculum for academic master studies in the field of DBBT,
- to prepare the final documentation for curriculum,
- to fill in data about teachers in approved document of teacher's competencies.
Both types of documents were approved within October where all institutions were able to deliver their comments, which have been incorporated in final version. Next two months 11-12/2016, filled documents were collected and commented by partners from EU countries.
In review process, partners from EU countries recommended
- to correct typos,
- and to improve technical expressions in compliance with common used terminology.
Finally, in January 2017, both type of documents regarding principles and model for academic master studies in the field of DBBT and teacher’s competencies were approved for all institutions of WB partner countries in the DBBT project.
Status of delivery
The status of delivery of new curriculums for academic master studies in the field of DBBT was discussed within our project meeting in Ljubljana on 17-18 January 2017 in University of Ljubljana. Briefly regarding status:
Univerzitet Singidunum
STATUS - delivered and approved
Person informed: Marina Marjanoviš Jakovljeviš
University in Kosovska Mitrovica, UPKM
STATUS - delivered and approved
Person informed: Mile Petrovic
Univerzitet U Banjoj Luci
STATUS - delivered and approved
Person informed: ikrcmar
Univerzitet U Bihaču
STATUS - missing 3.3
The issue lies in a specific higher education regulation in the region, which Univerzitet U Bihaču belongs to. According to the regulation in region, teachers cannot be assigned to individual courses before the study programme is approved by the senate of institution and an enrolment for students is approved. Afterward, teachers are selected based on applications collected in open call for specific positions. The procedure was explained in detail and unfortunately, it is not possible to deliver the requested document according to approved template 3.2, so we have received only proposed courses.

|Course Title |Broadband Access Networks |
|Status |Elective |
|ECTS |6 |
|Content |General model for access network. Overview of the transmission media. Standards and recommendations. |
| |Broadband access technologies for communication cables with Twisted Pair. Xdsl symmetric and |
| |asymmetric access technologies (HDSL, SHDSL, ADSL2+, VDSL). Broadband access devices (dividers, IP |
| |DSLAM, xDSL modems). Optical Access Networks (FITL).Optical Access Network Topologies. Passive and |
| |active optical networks in the local loop (BPON, GPON, EPON, AON).DWDM systems. Combined technologies |
| |in access networks. Modernization of KDS system using hybrid networks with optical and coaxial cables |
| |(HFC networks). Bi-directional transfer of signals and services (cable TV, Internet, video on demand, |
| |voice transmission).Main station (CMTS).Cable modems. Broadband over power lines. PLC networks over |
| |low-voltage lines (main elements: PLC LC base station modem, repeater, and gateway). In-Home PLC |
| |networks. Wireless local loop (WLL). Landline and mobile wireless access. Broadband wireless access |
| |technologies (WLAN, UWB, Wi-Max). Multi-Access Node (MSAN). |
|Learning outcomes |The students should be conversant with the main characteristic of broadband access technologies. They |
| |should be able to choose the optimal access architecture concerning efficient distribution of |
| |broadband interactive services. The students should gain basic knowledge about access technologies for|
| |broadband interactive services distribution. They should become conversant with types and |
| |architectures of broadband access networks and appropriate standards and recommendations. |
