Telecommunication Data Data Communications

This document discusses data communication and networks. It defines data communication as the exchange of data between devices via transmission mediums like wires. It outlines the key components of data communication including data representation formats like text, numbers, images, audio and video. It also shows the different types of data flow like simplex, half-duplex and full-duplex. The document then defines a network as a set of connected devices and discusses distributed processing, network criteria, physical structures, network models and categories of networks. It outlines physical topologies like point-to-point and multipoint connections.

1-1 DATA COMMUNICATIONS

The term telecommunication means communication at a


distance. The word data refers to information presented in
whatever form is agreed upon by the parties creating and
using the data. Data communications are the exchange of
data between two devices via some form of transmission
medium such as a wire cable.

Data Representation
• TEXT – unicode (32 bits to represent
character)- ASCII
• NUMBERS
• IMAGES-composed of a matrix of pixel
• AUDIO- recording or broadcasting of sound or
music.
• VIDEO- recording or broadcasting of a
• picture or movie

1-2 NETWORKS

A network is a set of devices (often referred to as nodes)


connected by communication links. A node can be a
computer, printer, or any other device capable of sending
and/or receiving data generated by other nodes on the
network.

NETWORKS

Set of nodes connected via physical links


– 1) Distributing Processing
– 2) Sharing Data and centralization
– 3) Security and robustness

6
Network Criteria

1) Performance : Transmission and


• response times - throughput and delay.

2) Reliability: How often the networks fail

3) Security: Privacy and integrity of


communication Data; recovery from
breaches and data loss.

7
Physical Structures:
• Types of connections:
• 1) Point to Point: (P to P) Dedicated link to be
utilized only by end devices.
• 2) Multipoint (Multidrop): Many end devices
share the link capacity.
