What is Data Communication?
● Process of transferring data between two or more devices over a
transmission medium, such as a wire, wireless medium, or other
communication channel.
● A common example of data communication is connecting laptop to a Wi-Fi
network.
● This action requires a wireless medium to send and receive data from remote
servers.
● Components of Data Communication:
1. Sender or Transmitter
2. Receiver
3. Medium
4. Message
5. Protocol
Components of Data Communication
1) Message: The data to be transmitted or communicated, which can include
numbers, text, photos, sound, or video.
2) Sender: The computer or device (e.g., phone, tablet) that sends the message.
3) Receiver: The computer or device that receives the message, which can be
different from the sender.
4) Medium: The channel through which the message is carried from sender to
receiver, such as twisted pair wire, coaxial cable, fiber optic cable, or wireless.
5) Protocol: The set of rules that govern the communication between computers.
These rules are followed by both the sender and receiver.
Protocols, Standards, Standard Organizations

- A Protocol is a particular set of rules for having a conversation between two


computers to convey a specific set of information.
- Both devices follow the same set of rules or protocol so that they understand
each other.
- Standards are the set of rules for data communication that are needed for
the exchange of information among devices.
- Standard Organizations for Data Communication :
1) International Standard Organization (ISO)
2) American National Standard Institute (ANSI)
3) Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineering (IEEE)
4) Electronic Industries Association(EIA)
Data Communication Terms
1. Bandwidth:
- Bandwidth is the maximum amount of data that can be transmitted over
a network connection in a given amount of time.
- It is usually measured in bits per second (bps), kilobits per second
(Kbps), megabits per second (Mbps), or gigabits per second (Gbps).
2. Data Transmission Rate:
- Speed at which data is transmitted from one device to another or within
a network.
- It is usually measured in megabits per second (Mbps) or megabytes per
second (MBps).
3. Baud Rate (Symbol Rate):
- Number of symbols (pulses) transmitted per unit time (per second).
4. Bits per second (Bit Rate):
- Number of bits (0s or 1s) that can be sent or received in one second.
Characteristics of Data Communication
- The effectiveness of a data communications system depends on four fundamental
characteristics: delivery, accuracy, timeliness and jitter.
1) Delivery: The system must deliver data to the correct destination. Data must be
received by the intended device or user.
2) Accuracy: The system must deliver data accurately.
3) Timeliness: The system must deliver data in a timely manner. Data delivered late
are useless. This characteristic is responsible for real-time transmission.
4) Jitter: Jitter refers to the variation in the packet arrival time. It is the uneven delay
in the delivery of audio or video packets.
Modes of Communication
- Communication modes refer to the mechanism of transferring of data between two
devices connected over a network. There are three types of transmission
modes.
1) Simplex Mode
2) Half duplex Mode
3) Full duplex Mode
Modes of Communication- Simplex mode
- This communication is among two devices which are communicating with each
other, one device can only be a sender and the other can only be a receiver.
- This transmission is unidirectional.
- Examples: Keyboards and monitors or displays, traditional FM radios etc.
- Advantage: The sender can use the full capacity of the medium to transmit data, so
more data is transmitted at a time.
- Disadvantage: One way connection, so no inter-communication between devices.
Modes of Communication- Half Duplex mode
- In half-duplex mode, each device can both transmit and receive, but not at the
same time.
- When one device is sending, the other can only receive, and vice versa.
- The half-duplex mode is used in cases where there is no need for communication in
both directions at the same time.
- Example: Walkie-talkie.
- Advantage: both devices can send and receive data and also entire capacity of the
transmission medium is used when transmitting data.
- Disadvantage: As when one device is sending data then another one must wait, this
can cause delay in sending the data at the right time.
Modes of Communication- Full Duplex mode
- Both devices can send and receive data at the same time.
- Data going in a direction will share the capacity of the transmission medium with
the data going in another direction.
- Examples: Telephone, cell phone networks etc.
- Advantage: Both parties can talk and listen to each other at the same time.
- Disadvantage: If there is no dedicated path in the network then the capacity will be
divided into two.
