A large majority of computer applications require communication of data from one device to another.
As such, this course deals with data communications, including conversion of data into a signal,
propagation of the signal through a medium and conversion of the signal back into data. Proper
communication also requires the two communicating devices to follow a common protocol. This
course covers the concepts of layered network architecture, properties of different transmission
media and data communication principles. Various signal encoding techniques and their merits and
demerits are taught, together with basic error and flow control techniques and multiplexing. The
course acts as a foundation for later courses.
