Example: A user sending an email from their laptop to another user across the globe.

4. Data Representation
Data communication systems handle different types of information, each requiring a unique
representation.

4.1 Text Representation

Text is represented in binary as a sequence of bits (0s and 1s).

Encoding Schemes:
ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange): Uses 7-bit codes to
represent characters.
Extended ASCII: Uses 8-bit codes for additional characters.
ISO (International Organization for Standardization): Standardizes character encoding
internationally.
Unicode: Uses 16-bit or 32-bit encoding, supporting multiple languages.

4.2 Number Representation

Numbers are converted directly into binary form.

Example:
Decimal (29) → Binary (11101)

4.3 Image Representation

Images are stored as a matrix of pixels.

Bit-depth determines color information:
1-bit: Black & White (e.g., Chessboard)
8-bit: 256 shades of gray
24-bit RGB: Combination of Red, Green, and Blue intensities.

4.4 Audio Representation

Sound is continuous but must be converted into a digital format.

Digitization Process:
1. Sampling (dividing the sound wave into discrete points).
2. Quantization (assigning numeric values).

 3. Encoding (storing in digital format).

4.5 Video Representation

Video consists of multiple images (frames) played in sequence.

Each frame is processed using techniques like:
MPEG (Moving Picture Experts Group)
H.264 (High-Efficiency Video Coding)

5. Transmission of Data
5.1 Data Flow Modes

Data transmission can occur in three different ways:

1. Simplex: One-way communication (e.g., TV broadcasting).

2. Half-Duplex: Two-way communication, but one at a time (e.g., Walkie-Talkie).
3. Full-Duplex: Simultaneous two-way communication (e.g., Phone call).

5.2 Transmission Medium

Wired Mediums:
Twisted Pair, Coaxial Cable, Fiber Optic.
Wireless Mediums:
Radio Waves, Microwaves, Infrared.

Conclusion
Data communication plays a vital role in modern networking, enabling devices to share information
accurately and efficiently. Understanding its components, representation methods, and transmission
techniques helps design better communication systems.

devices. The three primary modes are Simplex, Half-Duplex, and Full-Duplex. Each mode has different

Printed using ChatGPT to PDF, powered by PDFCrowd HTML to PDF API. 3/45
use cases, advantages, and limitations.

1. Overview of Data Flow Modes

Mode Direction Characteristics Examples
Only one device can send, the TV broadcasting, Radio transmission,
Simplex One-way
other only receives Keyboard to Monitor
Half- Two-way (one at a Devices take turns to send and Walkie-Talkies, Two-way radio
Duplex time) receive data communication
Full- Two-way Devices can send and receive data
Telephone calls, Video conferencing
Duplex (simultaneous) at the same time

2. Simplex Mode
Definition

Data flows in one direction only, like a one-way street.

The sender can transmit data, but the receiver cannot send back any response.
Utilizes the entire bandwidth of the communication channel since no return communication is
needed.

Block Diagram

css

[SENDER] ---> [RECEIVER]

Examples

Television Broadcasting: The TV station sends signals, but the TV set cannot transmit back.
Radio Broadcasting: FM/AM radio transmits signals to receivers.
Keyboards and Monitors: A keyboard only sends data to a monitor or CPU but does not receive
any data from them.

Advantages

✔ Efficient for one-way communication.

✔ Uses entire bandwidth for transmission.
Disadvantages

✘ No error correction since the receiver cannot respond.

✘ Not interactive, as feedback is impossible.

3. Half-Duplex Mode
Definition

Printed using ChatGPT to PDF, powered by PDFCrowd HTML to PDF API. 4/45
 Data flows in both directions, but only one device can transmit at a time.
The channel alternates between sending and receiving.
Works like a one-lane bridge, where traffic flows in both directions but only one at a time.

Block Diagram

css

[SENDER] ---> [RECEIVER] (at Time 1)

[SENDER] <--- [RECEIVER] (at Time 2)

Examples

Walkie-Talkies: When one person speaks, the other listens. The push-to-talk (PTT) button allows
switching roles.
CB Radios (Citizen Band Radios): Used in trucking communication, where one party speaks at a
time.
Two-Way Communication Systems: In some old network systems, communication had to be
sequential.

Advantages

✔ Utilizes the entire bandwidth for each transmission.

✔ More efficient than simplex, as communication is bi-directional.
Disadvantages

✘ Slower than Full-Duplex, since devices must take turns.

✘ Delays in transmission because each device must wait for the other to finish.

4. Full-Duplex Mode
Definition

Data can flow in both directions simultaneously, like a two-way street.

Devices can send and receive data at the same time without interruption.
Requires either separate channels for each direction or a protocol for sharing bandwidth.

Block Diagram

css

[SENDER] <--> [RECEIVER]

Examples

Telephone Communication: Both people can talk and listen at the same time.
Video Calls (Zoom, Skype, Teams): Audio and video data are transmitted in both directions
simultaneously.
Fiber Optic Internet: Uses separate fibers for upload and download.

Printed using ChatGPT to PDF, powered by PDFCrowd HTML to PDF API. 5/45
Advantages

✔ Fastest and most efficient data transmission mode.

✔ No waiting time, as both devices can send and receive simultaneously.
✔ Reduces latency and improves performance.
Disadvantages

✘ More complex infrastructure (requires separate channels or advanced multiplexing techniques).

✘ More expensive due to increased hardware requirements.

5. Numerical Example
Scenario

A company sets up a communication system between two branches. The following transmission
speeds are used:

1. Simplex Mode: 100 Mbps (One-way).

2. Half-Duplex Mode: 100 Mbps (One at a time).
3. Full-Duplex Mode: 100 Mbps (Simultaneously in both directions).

Time Calculation for 1 GB File Transfer

Simplex Mode:
File Size 1×8×109
Time = Speed
​ = 100×106
​ = 80 seconds.
Half-Duplex Mode:
Since only one direction at a time, effective speed is 50 Mbps (100 Mbps divided by two).
1×8×109
Time = 50×106
​ = 160 seconds.
Full-Duplex Mode:
Both sending and receiving occur simultaneously, so time is the same as Simplex (80 seconds).

Conclusion

Simplex: Fast but one-directional.

Half-Duplex: Twice the time of simplex due to alternation.
Full-Duplex: Fastest & most efficient.

Study Notes on Network Criteria

In any communication network, certain key factors determine its efficiency and effectiveness. The three
main criteria for evaluating a network are Performance, Reliability, and Security. Understanding
these aspects helps in designing and maintaining robust and efficient communication systems.

1. Overview of Network Criteria

A network must meet the following essential criteria:

1. Performance – Measures how efficiently the network transmits data.

2. Reliability – Ensures the network is consistently available and functions correctly.
3. Security – Protects data from unauthorized access and threats.

Each of these criteria impacts the overall quality of service (QoS) a network provides.

2. Performance of a Network
Definition

Performance refers to how fast and efficiently data is transmitted from a sender to a receiver within a
network.

Printed using ChatGPT to PDF, powered by PDFCrowd HTML to PDF API. 7/45
Factors Affecting Performance

Several factors influence network performance:

1. Transit Time – The time taken for a message to travel from source to destination.
2. Response Time – The time taken between a user request and the network’s response.
3. Number of Users – More users may cause congestion and degrade performance.
4. Type of Transmission Medium – Wired (fiber optics, coaxial cables) or wireless (radio waves,
microwaves) affect speed and quality.
5. Hardware Capabilities – Network devices like routers and switches affect efficiency.
6. Software Efficiency – Protocols and algorithms optimize network data transfer.

Key Metrics for Performance Evaluation

Numerical Example

A network transmits a 5GB (Gigabyte) file over a link with 100 Mbps (Megabits per second)
throughput.

1 GB = 8 × 10⁹ bits
Total file size = 5 × 8 × 10⁹ = 40 × 10⁹ bits
40×109
Time required = 100×10 6 ​ = 400 seconds (or 6 minutes 40 seconds)

3. Reliability of a Network
Definition

Reliability ensures that a network operates correctly without frequent failures and recovers quickly
when issues arise.

Factors Affecting Reliability

1. Frequency of Failure – How often network failures occur.

2. Recovery Time – The time taken to restore the network after a failure.
3. Robustness in Catastrophe – The ability of the network to withstand disasters like cyberattacks,
natural disasters, or hardware failures.

Reliability Metrics

Printed using ChatGPT to PDF, powered by PDFCrowd HTML to PDF API. 8/45
 Metric Definition

Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) The average time a system operates before failing.
Mean Time to Repair (MTTR) The average time taken to fix a failure.

Availability (%) The percentage of time the network is operational.

Formula for Network Availability

MTBF
Availability = × 100%
MTBF + MTTR
​

Example Calculation

If MTBF = 500 hours and MTTR = 2 hours, then:

500
Availability = × 100 = 99.6%
500 + 2
​

A network with 99.6% availability is considered highly reliable.

4. Security of a Network
Definition

Security protects network data and resources from unauthorized access, misuse, and damage.

Major Network Security Concerns

1. Unauthorized Access – Hackers trying to infiltrate the network.

2. Data Corruption – Data being altered or destroyed.
3. Data Theft – Sensitive information being stolen.
4. Denial-of-Service (DoS) Attacks – Overloading the network to shut it down.
5. Malware and Viruses – Harmful programs disrupting the network.

Types of Security Measures

Security Measure Function

Authentication Ensures only authorized users can access the network.

Encryption Converts data into unreadable form using cryptographic techniques.

Firewalls Blocks unauthorized access to the network.

Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) Monitors network for suspicious activities.

Antivirus Software Protects against malware and viruses.

Encryption Example

Study Notes on Protocols and Standards

In data communication and networking, protocols and standards are essential for ensuring proper
communication between devices. They define the rules and guidelines for data transmission, ensuring
interoperability between different systems and manufacturers.

1. What are Protocols?

Printed using ChatGPT to PDF, powered by PDFCrowd HTML to PDF API. 22/45
A protocol is a set of rules that governs how data is transmitted over a network. It ensures that
different devices can communicate effectively.

1.1 Key Elements of a Protocol

Every protocol has three fundamental elements:

1. Syntax – Defines the structure and format of data.

Example: A simple protocol might expect:
First 8 bits → Sender Address
Next 8 bits → Receiver Address
Remaining bits → Message
2. Semantics – Specifies the meaning of each section of bits.
Example: Does an address represent a route or a final destination?
3. Timing – Determines:
When data should be sent.
How fast it should be sent (e.g., if a sender transmits at 100 Mbps but the receiver
processes only 1 Mbps, data loss will occur)​.

2. What are Standards?

Standards are essential for ensuring interoperability among different devices and manufacturers. They
provide guidelines that allow devices from different vendors to work together.

2.1 Types of Standards

1. De Facto Standards ("by fact"):

Not officially approved but widely adopted.
Example: Microsoft Windows, QWERTY Keyboard.
2. De Jure Standards ("by law"):
Officially recognized and regulated by a standards organization.
Example: TCP/IP, IEEE 802.11 (Wi-Fi).

3. Standard Organizations
Several organizations develop and maintain networking standards:

Organization Full Name Role

Detailed Study Notes on Circuit Switching: Time Division & Space

Division Switch, TDM Bus

1. Introduction to Switching
Switching is a technique used in telecommunication and networking to direct data from a source to a
destination efficiently. It plays a crucial role in networks like telephone systems, data centers, and the
Internet.

There are three primary switching techniques:

1. Circuit Switching – A dedicated communication path is established before transmission.

2. Packet Switching – Data is divided into packets and sent independently.
3. Message Switching – The entire message is stored and forwarded.

This study note focuses on Circuit Switching, particularly:

Time-Division Switching
Space-Division Switching
TDM Bus Switching

2. Circuit Switching
2.1 Definition

Circuit switching is a method where a dedicated communication path is established between two
endpoints before data transfer begins.

Printed using ChatGPT to PDF, powered by PDFCrowd HTML to PDF API. 38/45
2.2 Characteristics of Circuit Switching

✔ Pre-established path: Once a connection is made, all data follows the same path.
✔ Guaranteed bandwidth: Resources are reserved for the entire communication.
✔ Low latency: Since the path is fixed, delays are minimized.
✔ Inefficiency: Resources remain occupied even if no data is being transmitted.
2.3 Phases of Circuit Switching

A circuit-switched connection occurs in three steps:

1. Setup Phase: A dedicated channel is established.

2. Data Transfer Phase: Information is transmitted.
3. Teardown Phase: The connection is released after transmission.

2.4 Example: Telephone Network

In traditional landline telephony, a circuit is reserved for the entire duration of the call.

3. Space-Division Switching
3.1 Definition

In Space-Division Switching, dedicated separate physical paths exist for each connection.

3.2 Types of Space-Division Switching

3.2.1 Crossbar Switch

A crossbar switch is a grid-like structure where input and output lines intersect with electronic switches.

Advantages:

✔ Instantaneous switching (No time delays).

✔ Parallel connections possible.
Disadvantages:

✘ High cost: Requires N × M crosspoints (where N = inputs, M = outputs).

✘ Inefficient utilization: Many crosspoints may remain idle​.

Input 3 ----+---+---- Output C

Printed using ChatGPT to PDF, powered by PDFCrowd HTML to PDF API. 39/45
3.2.2 Multistage Switch

A multistage switch improves upon the crossbar switch by reducing the number of crosspoints.

Advantages:

✔ Fewer crosspoints: More cost-efficient.

✔ Can handle multiple connections simultaneously.
Disadvantages:

✘ Blocking may occur: Some paths may be unavailable​.

Example Calculation for Crosspoints

If a single-stage switch has 1000 inputs and 1000 outputs:

Crossbar switch requires 1000 × 1000 = 1, 000, 000 crosspoints.

Three-stage switch using Clos criteria may reduce this to approximately 200 million crosspoints,
significantly improving efficiency​.

4. Time-Division Switching
4.1 Definition

Time-Division Switching uses Time-Division Multiplexing (TDM) to share a single communication

channel among multiple connections.

4.2 Time-Slot Interchange (TSI)

A TSI switch stores incoming data in memory and forwards it based on assigned time slots.

Advantages:

✔ Requires fewer hardware components (compared to space-division switching).

✔ No need for crosspoints.
Disadvantages:

✘ Processing delay: Data must be stored, then retrieved​.

A Time-Space-Time (TST) switch combines both space-division and time-division switching.

Example: Time-Space-Time (TST) Switch

A 12-input, 12-output TST switch:

1. First stage: Three TSI switches divide inputs into groups.

2. Middle stage: Space-division crossbar switch.
3. Final stage: Three TSI switches recombine outputs​.

Advantages:

✔ Reduces delay and blocking.

✔ Optimizes cost and performance.
6. TDM Bus
6.1 Definition

A TDM Bus (Time-Division Multiplexed Bus) allows multiple devices to communicate over the same bus
using time slots.

6.2 Working Principle

1. Each device is allocated a time slot.

2. Data is transmitted during its assigned slot.
3. Other devices wait for their turn​.

6.3 Types of TDM

Synchronous TDM: Each source gets a fixed slot, even if it has no data to send.
Statistical TDM: Slots are dynamically allocated based on demand.

6.4 Example: TDM in Cellular Networks

In second-generation (2G) GSM networks, each frequency band is divided into time slots, allowing
multiple users to share the same channel.

Detailed Study Notes on Telephone Networks

1. Introduction
A telephone network is a system of interconnected devices that allows voice communication across
different locations. Initially, telephone networks were analog circuit-switched, but with technological
advancements, they have evolved into digital and packet-switched networks​.

2. Evolution of Telephone Networks

Year Development
1876 Alexander Graham Bell invents the telephone.

1878 First telephone exchange is established.

1980s Introduction of digital transmission.
1990s Introduction of cellular and VoIP technologies.
Present Integration of fiber optics, mobile networks, and 5G​.

3. Structure of the Telephone Network

The telephone network consists of three major components​:

 1. Local Loops
2. Trunks
3. Switching Offices

3.1 Local Loop

A twisted-pair cable that connects a subscriber’s telephone to the nearest end office.
The bandwidth of a local loop is 4 kHz.
The first three digits of a telephone number represent the end office, while the next four digits
represent the local loop number​.

3.2 Trunks

High-capacity transmission lines that connect switching offices.

Uses optical fiber or satellite links for long-distance communication.
Supports multiplexing, allowing multiple signals to be transmitted simultaneously.

3.3 Switching Offices

Avoids direct point-to-point connections for efficiency.

Types of Switching Offices:
End Office (Local Central Office) – Connects local loops.
Tandem Office – Connects multiple end offices.
Regional Office – Connects multiple tandem offices​.

4. Telephone Numbering and LATAs

In the U.S., the Local Access Transport Area (LATA) system was introduced after the 1984 divestiture
of AT&T​.

Service Type Description

Intra-LATA Calls within the same LATA (handled by Local Exchange Carriers - LECs).
Inter-LATA Calls between different LATAs (handled by Interexchange Carriers - IXCs, such as AT&T, Verizon)​.

5. Types of Telephone Networks

5.1 Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN)

The traditional circuit-switched telephone network.

Used for voice communication over landlines.
Now being replaced by packet-switched VoIP networks​.

5.2 Cellular Networks

Printed using ChatGPT to PDF, powered by PDFCrowd HTML to PDF API. 43/45
 Uses radio waves for wireless communication.
Includes GSM, CDMA, 4G LTE, and 5G.
More efficient than PSTN due to dynamic frequency allocation.

5.3 Voice over IP (VoIP)

Converts voice into digital packets and transmits them over the Internet.
Examples: Skype, WhatsApp, Zoom​.

6. Signaling in Telephone Networks

Signaling is used to establish, maintain, and terminate calls.

6.1 In-Band Signaling

Uses the same channel as the voice transmission.

Example: Dial tones, busy signals.

6.2 Out-of-Band Signaling

Uses a separate dedicated channel for signaling.

Signaling System No. 7 (SS7) is the standard protocol for digital networks​.

SS7 Layers

Layer Function
MTP Level 1 Physical layer (e.g., T1, 1.544 Mbps)
MTP Level 2 Error detection and flow control
MTP Level 3 Routing and addressing
SCCP Signaling connection control
ISUP Call setup and teardown​.

7. Digital vs. Analog Telephone Services

Feature Analog Telephone Digital Telephone
Technology Uses analog signals Uses digital packets
Bandwidth 4 kHz Higher (DSL, Fiber)
Noise High Low
Transmission Circuit-switched Packet-switched
Examples Traditional landline VoIP, DSL, Fiber​

8. Digital Subscriber Line (DSL)

DSL is a high-speed digital service that works over the traditional telephone network.

Types of DSL

DSL Type Speed Usage

ADSL Up to 24 Mbps Home internet
VDSL Up to 100 Mbps High-speed broadband
HDSL 1.5 Mbps Enterprise connectivity
SDSL 1.5 Mbps Symmetric data transfer​.

9. Numerical Example: Signal-to-Noise Ratio in PSTN

The maximum data rate of a telephone channel is calculated using Shannon's Capacity Formula:

C = B log2 (1 + S/N )
​

Where:

B = Bandwidth (4 kHz for PSTN).

S/N = Signal-to-noise ratio.

Example Calculation

Given:

B = 4 kHz
S/N = 30 dB (S/N = 1000)

C = 4000 log2 (1 + 1000) = 4000 × 10 = 40, 000 bps

​

Thus, the maximum achievable data rate is 40 Kbps.
