INTRODUCTION
• The term communication in simple words means sending
or receiving information.

• ANCIENT TIMES –
• Beating drums
• Smoke signals
• Mirrors reflecting sunlight

• The advancement of computer networks and later


internet acted as a boost for data communication.

2
DATA COMMUNICATION
• Exchange of data between two devices using some form
of wired or wireless transmission medium.

• Data communication consist of following concepts

• Communication system
• Communication channel
• Communication processors

3
COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

• The collection of hardware and software that


facilitates intersystem exchange of information
between different devices.

4
COMMUNICATION CHANNEL

• Communication channel is a pathway over which


information can be conveyed. It may be defined by a
physical wire that connects communicating devices, or a
radio, laser, or other radiated energy source that has no
obvious physical presence.

5
COMMUNICATION PROCESSORS

• Communication processor is an obsolete term for a


specialized I/O processor that is used to control a
number of communication lines and/or communication
devices.

6
COMMUNICATION HARDWARE

• Communication hardware as the name suggests it refers


to those physical components that help in the flow of
data from one resource point to another.

• Consist of following points


• Communication channel
• Communication channel media
• Channel interface devices
• Communication Protocol

7
COMMUNICATION CHANNEL

• A communication channel, or channel, refers either to a


physical transmission medium such as a wire or to a
logical connection over a multiplexed medium such as a
radio channel etc.

8
Channel Characteristics

• Channel bandwidth
• Channel Capacity
• Transmission Time
• Propagation Time

9
CHANNEL MEDIA
• Communication channel media refers to those physical
or virtual connections through which communication
signals are transferred from one location to another.

• Two types of media


• Guided media
• Unguided Media

10
CHANNEL INTERFACE DEVICES

• Communication channel interface devices refer to


those devices that send and receive communication
signals from one place to another.

• Examples are Router Modem etc.

11
COMMUNICATION PROTOCOL

• A communications protocol is a formal description of


digital message formats and the rules for exchanging
those messages in or between computing systems
