decibel
The decibel (symbol: dB) is a relative unit of measurement equal to one tenth of a bel (B). It expresses the ratio of two values of a power or root-power quantity on a logarithmic scale. Two signals whose levels differ by one decibel have a power ratio of 101/10 (approximately ) or root-power ratio of 101/20 (approximately ).
quality of service
traffic prioritization and measure of network performance
radiometry
thumb|upright=1.5|Comparison of photometric and radiometric quantities Radiometry is a set of techniques for measuring electromagnetic radiation, including visible light. Radiometric techniques in optics characterize the distribution of the radiation's power in space, as opposed to photometric techniques, which characterize the light's interaction with the human eye.

telecommunications engineering
subfield of electrical engineering that deals with the recording, transmission, processing and storage of communication
transmission
process of sending and propagating a signal
very-large-scale integration
process of creating an integrated circuit by combining thousands of transistors into a single chip that began in the 1970s when complex semiconductor and communication technologies were being developed
attenuation
In physics, attenuation is the gradual loss of flux intensity through a medium. For instance, dark glasses attenuate sunlight, lead attenuates X-rays, and water and air attenuate both light and sound at variable attenuation rates.

OMNeT++
OMNeT++ (Objective Modular Network Testbed in C++) is a modular, component-based C++ simulation library and framework, primarily for building network simulators. OMNeT++ can be used for free for non-commercial simulations like at academic institutions and for teaching. OMNEST is an extended version of OMNeT++ for commercial use.
