I am a master student and i am working on my research, so I am a bit confuse don't really know how to match computer with telecommunication as a topic
Dear Atinuke Phillips ,
In digital communications the digital signal processing is carried out by computing platforms such as digital signal processors.
There are newly the new technology of realizing the communication systems by the software developed technology. Therefore there are the computing platforms developed for such software radio and software network devices.
In fact all the communication equipment have computer cores and the communication functions are peripheral functions.
To you knowledge there is intensive communication inside the computer where the data are transferred from the memory to the processor and vice versa. Also the input output functions are data communication functions.
As for the networks there was the old circuit switched and the modern packet switched intended for use in data communication.
Now most circuits are packet switched which means the communications converges to all data communications.
The communication functions and the computer functions are unified with each other to evolve the information and communication technology.
The computer became a core device in the communication systems and networks.
Best wishes
Dear,
There are several fields like Data security(Cryptography, Steganography), Image Denoising
, Sensor Networks / IoT, ...
Best wishes
You can look at routing protocols efficiency, data security etc

The match is maybe that telecommunication companies are headed to be virtual, running on top of a bunch of computers, the so called cloud, thanks to virtualization and containerization, and software defined radios. Look at how they are selling their infrastructure (e.g. mobile phone towers), and then renting it, while they use the cash obtained selling that infrastructure to get spectrum usage rights. General purpose computers (plus GPUs), arranged working as elastic clouds, that can adapt to demand dynamically, are becoming the infrastructure on which telecommunication companies will run their services: voice and video connectivity and delivery, data comms and storage. Computing providers, like IBM, are becoming telecom infrastructure providers for 5G networks: https://www.zdnet.com/article/ibm-cloud-for-telecommunications-targets-5g-and-edge-innovation
Lots of good suggestions so far. The topic seems a little vague. (Maybe that is the intent?) What is the focus of your degree? This should help give you more specific answers. Several directions you can go:
1. How high speed processors developed for high speed computing enable cell phone devices, switching and digital processing.
2. How the telecommunication network has become nothing but a digital pipe for computer networking and in fact may be the ultimate bit pipe.
3. The cell phone as a mobile computer. People who use to do computer forensics now do cell phone forensics as well, because the device is viewed as a computer with the same properties.
4. Finally is the issue of standards. The world of computers is getting more incompatible. At one time, the battle was between the miserable Windows OS and the closed Apple OS. Software and systems were incompatible. It's gotten worse. Android, Linux, BeOS, Uniz, etc. In contrast, the telecommunications network also had two systems. The CDMA type system used by 20% of the world and the GSM system used by 80% of the world. The telecom guys set a goal called "LTE". The goal was that that the "Long Term Evolution" of the phone network would be one network, one protocol (OS) and one set of frequencies that would allow a phone to be used anywhere anytime in the world. We are nearly there, while the computer world further divests. HTML and PDF were born to be "cross platform" to try to fix this problem. How does the two different views of standards effect Computers v. Telecom? Innovation? Costs? Customer Satisfaction?
