Data Encoding and Transmission

1
Simplified Data Communications Model

2
S(t) = A sin(2ft + Φ)

3
Terminology

 Transmitter
 Receiver
 Medium
 Guided medium
 E.g., twisted pair, optical fiber
 Unguided medium
 E.g., air, water, vacuum

4
Terminology

 Direct link
 No intermediate devices
 Point-to-point
 Direct link
 Only 2 devices share link
 Multi-point
 More than two devices share the link

5
Terminology

 Simplex
 One direction
 e.g., television

 Half duplex
 Either direction, but only one way at
a time
 e.g. police radio

 Full duplex
 Both directions at the same time
6
Analog and Digital Data Transmission

 Data
 Entities that convey meaning
 Signals
 Electric or electromagnetic representations of
data
 Transmission
 Communication of data by propagation and
processing of signals

7
Data

 Analog
 Continuous values within some interval
 e.g., sound, video

 Digital
 Discrete values
 e.g., text, integers

8
Signals

 Means by which data are propagated


 Analog
 Continuously variable
 Various media
 e.g., wire, fiber optic, space

 Speech bandwidth 100Hz to 7kHz


 Telephone bandwidth 300Hz to 3400Hz
 Video bandwidth 4MHz

 Digital
 Use two DC components
9
Data and Signals

 Usually use digital signals for digital data and


analog signals for analog data
 Can use analog signal to carry digital data
 Modem

 Can use digital signal to carry analog data


 Compact Disc audio

10
Analog Transmission

 Analog signal transmitted without regard to


content
 May be analog or digital data
 Attenuated over distance
 Use amplifiers to boost signal
 Also amplifies noise

11
Digital Transmission

 Concerned with content


 Integrity endangered by noise, attenuation etc.
 Repeaters used
 Repeater receives signal
 Extracts bit pattern
 Retransmits
 Attenuation is overcome
 Noise is not amplified

12
Advantages/Disadvantages of Digital

 Cheaper
 Less susceptible to noise
 Greater attenuation
 Pulses become rounded and smaller
 Leads to loss of information

13
Attenuation of Digital Signals

14
Interpreting Signals

 Need to know
 Timing of bits - when they start and end
 Signal levels
 Factors affecting successful interpreting of
signals
 Signal to noise ratio
 Data rate
 Bandwidth
15
Encoding Schemes

 Non-return to Zero-Level (NRZ-L)


 Non-return to Zero Inverted (NRZI)
 Bipolar –AMI
 Pseudoternary
 Manchester
 Differential Manchester

16
Non-Return to Zero-Level (NRZ-L)

 Two different voltages for 0 and 1 bits


 Voltage constant during bit interval
 No transition (i.e. no return to zero voltage)
 e.g., Absence of voltage for zero, constant
positive voltage for one
 More often, negative voltage for one value
and positive for the other
 This is NRZ-L
25
Non-Return to Zero Inverted

 Nonreturn to zero inverted on ones


 Constant voltage pulse for duration of bit
 Data encoded as presence or absence of signal
transition at beginning of bit time
 Transition (low to high or high to low) denotes a
binary 1
 No transition denotes binary 0
 An example of differential encoding

18
NRZ

19
Differential Encoding

 Data represented by changes rather than


levels
 More reliable detection of transition rather
than level
 In complex transmission layouts it is easy to
lose sense of polarity

20
Summary of Encodings

21
NRZs Pros and Cons

 Pros
 Easy to engineer
 Make good use of bandwidth
 Cons
 DC component
 Lack of synchronization capability
 Used for magnetic recording
 Not often used for signal transmission
22
Biphase

 Manchester
 Transition in middle of each bit period
 Transition serves as clock and data
 Low to high represents one
 High to low represents zero
 Used by IEEE 802.3
 Differential Manchester
 Mid-bit transition is clocking only
 Transition at start of a bit period represents zero
 No transition at start of a bit period represents
one
 Note: this is a differential encoding scheme
 Used by IEEE 802.5 23
Biphase Pros and Cons

 Con
 At least one transition per bit time and possibly two
 Maximum modulation rate is twice NRZ
 Requires more bandwidth

 Pros
 Synchronization on mid bit transition (self clocking)
 No dc component
 Error detection
 Absence of expected transition

24
Asynchronous/Synchronous Transmission

 Timing problems require a mechanism


to synchronize the transmitter and
receiver
 Two solutions
 Asynchronous
 Synchronous

25
Asynchronous

 Data transmitted one character at a


time
 5 to 8 bits
 Timing only needs maintaining within
each character
 Resync with each character

26
Asynchronous (Diagram)

27
Asynchronous - Behavior

 In a steady stream, interval between characters is uniform


(length of stop element)
 In idle state, receiver looks for transition 1 to 0
 Then samples next seven intervals (char length)
 Then looks for next 1 to 0 for next char
 Simple
 Cheap
 Overhead of 2 or 3 bits per char (~20%)
 Good for data with large gaps (keyboard)

28
Synchronous – Bit Level

 Block of data transmitted without start or stop bits


 Clocks must be synchronized
 Can use separate clock line
 Good over short distances
 Subject to impairments

 Embed clock signal in data


 Manchester encoding
 Carrier frequency (analog)

29
Synchronous – Block Level

 Need to indicate start and end of block


 Use preamble and postamble
 e.g. series of SYN (hex 16) characters
 e.g. block of 11111111 patterns ending in
11111110
 More efficient (lower overhead) than
async
