The document discusses various data transmission techniques, focusing on flow control, error detection, and acknowledgment mechanisms. It outlines methods such as Stop and Wait, Go Back N, and Selective Reject for managing frame transmission and retransmissions. Additionally, it covers HDLC protocols and configurations for primary and secondary stations in data communication.

› Preventing buffer overflow Transmission time › Time taken to emit all bits into medium Propagation time › Time for a bit to traverse the link Source transmits frame Destination receives frame and replies with acknowledgement Source waits for ACK before sending next frame Destination can stop flow by not send ACK Works well for a few large frames Large block of data may be split into small frames › Limited buffer size › Errors detected sooner (when whole frame received) › On error, retransmission of smaller frames is needed › Prevents one station occupying medium for long periods Stop and wait becomes inadequate Allow multiple frames to be in transit Receiver has buffer W long Transmitter can send up to W frames without ACK Each frame is numbered ACK includes number of next frame expected Sequence number bounded by size of field (k) › Frames are numbered modulo 2k Receiver can acknowledge frames without permitting further transmission (Receive Not Ready) Must send a normal acknowledge to resume If duplex, use piggybacking › If no data to send, use acknowledgement frame › If data but no acknowledgement to send, send last acknowledgement number again, or have ACK valid flag (TCP) Additional bits added by transmitter for error detection code Parity › Value of parity bit is such that character has even (even parity) or odd (odd parity) number of ones › Even number of bit errors goes undetected For a block of k bits transmitter generates n bit sequence Transmit k+n bits which is exactly divisible by some number Receive divides frame by that number › If no remainder, assume no error › For math, see Stallings chapter 7 Detection and correction of errors Lost frames Damaged frames Automatic repeat request › Error detection › Positive acknowledgment › Retransmission after timeout › Negative acknowledgement and retransmission Stop and wait Go back N Selective reject (selective retransmission) Source transmits single frame Wait for ACK If received frame damaged, discard it › Transmitter has timeout › If no ACK within timeout, retransmit If ACK damaged,transmitter will not recognize it › Transmitter will retransmit › Receive gets two copies of frame › Use ACK0 and ACK1 Simple Inefficient Based on sliding window If no error, ACK as usual with next frame expected Use window to control number of outstanding frames If error, reply with rejection › Discard that frame and all future frames until error frame received correctly › Transmitter must go back and retransmit that frame and all subsequent frames Receiver detects error in frame i Receiver sends rejection-i Transmitter gets rejection-i Transmitter retransmits frame i and all subsequent Frame i lost Transmitter sends i+1 Receiver gets frame i+1 out of sequence Receiver send reject i Transmitter goes back to frame i and retransmits Frame i lost and no additional frame sent Receiver gets nothing and returns neither acknowledgement nor rejection Transmitter times out and sends acknowledgement frame with P bit set to 1 Receiver interprets this as command which it acknowledges with the number of the next frame it expects (frame i ) Transmitter then retransmits frame i Receiver gets frame i and send acknowledgement (i+1) which is lost Acknowledgements are cumulative, so next acknowledgement (i+n) may arrive before transmitter times out on frame i If transmitter times out, it sends acknowledgement with P bit set as before This can be repeated a number of times before a reset procedure is initiated As for lost frame (2) Also called selective retransmission Only rejected frames are retransmitted Subsequent frames are accepted by the receiver and buffered Minimizes retransmission Receiver must maintain large enough buffer More complex login in transmitter HDLC ISO 33009, ISO 4335 Primary station › Controls operation of link › Frames issued are called commands › Maintains separate logical link to each secondary station Secondary station › Under control of primary station › Frames issued called responses Combined station › May issue commands and responses Unbalanced › One primary and one or more secondary stations › Supports full duplex and half duplex Balanced › Two combined stations › Supports full duplex and half duplex Normal Response Mode (NRM) › Unbalanced configuration › Primary initiates transfer to secondary › Secondary may only transmit data in response to command from primary › Used on multi-drop lines › Host computer as primary › Terminals as secondary Asynchronous Balanced Mode (ABM) › Balanced configuration › Either station may initiate transmission without receiving permission › Most widely used › No polling overhead Asynchronous Response Mode (ARM) › Unbalanced configuration › Secondary may initiate transmission without permission form primary › Primary responsible for line › rarely used
