Relationship between Files,
Data, and Signals


Files are collection of characters from a code
set (possibly ASCII)
When a file to be transmitted:



The characters are translated into 1’s and 0’s
An electrical signal representing the 1’s and 0’s is
placed on the transmission medium
The receiver, converts the incoming electrical
signal into 1’s and 0’s, then into characters
that make up the original file.

SIGNALS
 Analog and digital signals
 Analog is equated with continuous
 Digital is equated with discrete
A telephone set converts the sound waves into an analog
signal
The analog signal is digitized when it reaches the
telephone network
The digital waveform is converted back into an analog
signal and subsequently the sound wave at the receiving
end.
Digital Transmission

Digitization of voice signals


Sampling
 equally spaced discrete values extracted from the analog
signal.
 The discrete values follow the amplitude of the analog
waveform
 The result is a PAM signal
quantization
 Assigning numbers approximate values to the PAM signal

Terrestrial Microwave




Towers operation use line-of-sight transmission.
Line-of-site refers to the geographical arrangement of
the transmitting antennas and the receiving tower
such that the wave travels in straight line from the
transmitter to the receiver.
Since microwaves travel in straight line, if the towers
are too far apart, the earth will get in the way .
The higher the towers are, the further apart they can
be. For 100-m high tower, repeaters can be spaced
80 km apart (assuming there are no large hills in
between).






Microwaves do not pass through buildings well.
In addition, even though the beam may be well focused at the
transmitter, there is still some divergence in space.
Multipath Fading is caused when some waves may be refracted
off low-lying atmospheric layers and may take slightly longer to
arrive than direct waves.
The delayed wave may arrive out of phase.
The most common type of microwave antenna is a rigidly fixed
parabolic dish-shaped antenna of approximately ten feet
diameter, Common frequencies used for microwave transmission
are in the rang of 2 GHz to 40 GHz. The higher the frequency
employed, the higher the bandwidth and data rate.
Satellite Microwave






A communication satellite is essentially a microwave relay
station.
It links two or more ground-based transmitters/receivers
called earth stations.
The satellite receives the analog or digital signals
transmitted by an earth station on one frequency band
called the uplink
It then repeats or amplifies the signal on another frequency
band known as the downlink.
A single satellite can operate on a number of frequency
bands called a transponder.
To ensure that the satellite is in the line-of-site of earth, it is
made to rotate at a period equal of that of the earth. This is
possible when the satellite is at a distance of approximately
35,800 km.

The Public Telephone Network
--- History and Evolution -




Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone
Around 1890
Simple networks connected telephones by
manually operated switches.
In this network, as shown on next slide, the signal
is analog
To call another telephone, a customer first rings
the operator and provides the phone number of
the party.
The operator then determines the line that goes
either directly to the other party or to another
operator along a path to the other party.
The Public Telephone Network
-- History and Evolution -




The parties remain connected for the duration of the
conversation and are disconnected by the operator at the
end of the call.
Paths are established by means of circuit switching
“circuit” refers to the capability of transmitting one
telephone conversation along one link.
To set up a call, a set of circuits has to be connected, joining
the two telephone sets.
By modifying the connection, the operators can switch the
circuits. Circuit switching occurs at the beginning of a
telephone call. Operators were later replaced by mechanical
switches and, eventually, by electronic switches.

The Public Telephone Network
-- History and Evolution -





A major development in the Public Telephone Network is the
digital transmission, as shown on the next slide.
An electronic interface in the switch converts the analog
signal traveling on the link from the telephone set to the
switch into a digital signal, and from digital to analog in the
opposite direction.
The switches themselves are computers, which makes them
very flexible.
This flexibility allows the Telephone Company to modify
connections by sending specific instructions to the computer.
common channel signaling (CCS) – another major
development
CCS is a data communication network that the switches use
to exchange control information among themselves. This
“conversation” between switches serves the same function
as the conversation that took place between operators in the
manual network.

The transmissions are analog (A)
or digital (D). The switches are
electronic and exchange control
information by using a data
network called common channel
signaling (CCS).
Current Telephone Network Structure


Currently, The telephone system is organized as a highly
redundant, multilevel hierarchy.
The present configuration, simplified:




From each telephone comes a pair of wires that goes directly to
the telephone company’s nearest end office which is also called the
local central office.
The two-wire connection between each subscriber’s telephone and
the end office is known as the local loop.
In the United States alone there are about 20,000 local central
offices. The concentration of the area code and the first three
digits of the telephone number uniquely specify a local central
office, which is why the rate structure uses this information.
If a subscriber, attached to a particular end office calls a subscriber
attached to the same end office, the switching mechanism within
the office sets up a direct electrical connection between the two
local loops. This connection remains intact for the duration of the
call.
The current Telephone Network
Structure




If the called telephone is attached to another end office, a
different procedure has to be used.
Each end office (local switch) has a number of outgoing lines to
one or more nearby switching centers, called toll offices (or if
they are within the same local area, tandem switches).
These lines are called toll-connecting trunks. If both the calling
party and the called party end offices happen to have a toll
connecting trunk to the same toll office (a likely occurrence if
they are close by), the connection may be established within the
toll office.
If the calling party and the called party do not have a toll office
in common, the path will have to be established somewhere
higher up in the hierarchy.

Five components of data communication
Components of data communications





Message: The information to be communicated – text, sound,
video, or a combination
Sender: The device that sends the message – computer,
telephone, TV, and so on.
Receiver: The device that receives the message – computer,
telephone, TV, and so on.
Medium: A path by which the a message travels from sender
to receiver – twisted pair, coaxial cables, fiber optic cable, or
radio waves (terrestrial or satellite microwave)
Protocol: Rules that governs communications among devices
Data representation





Text:
represented by a bit pattern of 0s and 1s, the number of
bits in a pattern depends on the number of symbols in the
language – English uses 26 symbols (a, b, …) and 26 for (A, B,
..) and 10 symbols for (0, 1, 2, ..)
ASCII: American Standard Code for Information Exchange:
uses 7 bit pattern (128 symbols)
Extended ASCII: 8-bit patterns – ASCII is a subset of it by
adding a 0 to the left
Unicode: 65,536 symbols because it uses a 16 bit code
Images: also represented by bit patterns, however
the mechanism is different.. In its simplest form an
image is divided into a matrix of pixels, where each
pixel is a small dot
Data Representation


Audio: is a representation of sound, it is by nature
different from text, numbers, or images. It is
continuous, not discrete.
Video: Can be produced as a continuous entity, (by
a TV camera), or it can be a combination of images,
each a discrete entity arranged to convey the idea of
motion.

a one-way street. Only one device can transmit and
the other can receive. Keyboards and traditional

1973: the idea of transmission control
protocol (TCP) came about which included
concepts as datagrame, and encapsulations.
Shortly after TCP was split into two protocols:
TCP and IP (TCP/IP)

Summary of Layers

An exchange using the Internet model
Physical layer
Note:
The physical layer is responsible for
transmitting individual bits from one
node to the next.
Data link layer
Note:
The data link layer is responsible for
transmitting frames from
one node to the next.
Node-to-node delivery
Example 1
A node with physical address 10 sends a frame to a node
with physical address 87. The two nodes are connected by
a link. At the data link level this frame contains physical
addresses in the header. These are the only addresses
needed. The rest of the header contains other information
needed at this level. The trailer usually contains extra bits
needed for error detection
Example 1
Network layer
Note:
The network layer is responsible for
the delivery of packets from the
original source to the
final destination.
Source-to-destination delivery
Example 2
We want to send data from a node with network address A
and physical address 10, located on one LAN, to a node
with a network address P and physical address 95, located
on another LAN. Because the two devices are located on
different networks, we cannot use physical addresses
only; the physical addresses only have local jurisdiction.
What we need here are universal addresses that can pass
through the LAN boundaries. The network (logical)
addresses have this characteristic.
Example 2
Transport layer
Note:
The transport layer is responsible for
delivery of a message from one process
to another.
Reliable process-to-process delivery of a message
Example 3
This is an example of transport layer communication.
Data coming from the upper layers have port addresses j
and k (j is the address of the sending process, and k is the
address of the receiving process). Since the data size is
larger than the network layer can handle, the data are split
into two packets, each packet retaining the port addresses
(j and k). Then in the network layer, network addresses (A
and P) are added to each packet.
Example 3
Application layer
Note:
The application layer is responsible for
providing services to the user.
