systems

• Information (data) source

 Analog form or digital form
 Examples: voice, data, video,…

A simplified view on communication
systems

• Network and control layers

 Protocols/functions: perform/process information
(based on given standards) for efficient/reliable
transmission
 One of standards: OSI (Open Systems Interconnection)
by ISO and IUT-T

Question: What are data, signal, transmission?

• Data

• Signal

• Transmission

Chuyen T. Nguyen HUST 36

Review on signal concepts – signal
representation
Question: What are data, signal, transmission?

• Data: entities that convey meaning, or information

• Signal: electric or electromagnetic representations of data

(wireless)

• Transmission: communication of data by the propagation

and processing of signals
