Papers 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.
