Start with the signaling system, the telecommunication system can be generalized model consisting of an information source, modulation system for coder, decoder for demodulation system, destination and of course transmission system or channel as the central feature. A telecommunication should learn how to minimize distortion by careful choice of the transmitted waveform. To do this you must have to define and analyze both the signals and the channels through which they are transmitted. Put an emphasis on the numerical methods like discrete fourier transformations and the relationship between time and frequency domain representation.
The next thing you need is to link with SONET and explore modulation and demodulation. Your realistic knowledge of electronics circuit techniques will be useful at this stage. Though real communication is always accompanied by noise, it is better to consider the effect of noise after gaining basic ideas of modulation. Know the technology behind amplitude modulation(AM) as well as the economic factors affecting the choice of an AM system. In this way you will get an idea of phase modulation, frequency modulation and different modulation.
Knowledge of some advance transmission like frequency division multiplex access(FDMA) and time division multiplex access (TDMA) or non linear coding related procedures like companding is nice to have
