Data Communications Part 1 Simplex – one way transmission (ex: TV)

Universal 7-Part Data Circuit Half-Duplex – two-way transmission, however, only

one at a time (ex: walkie-talkie).

- a model/ an architecture that governs the data

transfer from one point to another.
- This model is different from the traditional
model we use in Principles of Communication
wherein there is a source/transmitter, channel,
receiver/destination.
- the source and the destination have a
symmetrical representation. So, in analyzing this
block diagram, we can only do the left side and
just reverse everything when we go to the right
side.

What is a DTE and DCE?

- A DTE is basically a source

- the devices / hosts / mainframe computers /
servers / IoT devices / mobile phones
- “end devices”
- A DCE is a circuit that makes sure that signal to
be transmitted is suitable for transmission;
basically, a transmitter.
Full Duplex – two-way transmission, simultaneously
(ex: video call, voice call).
“Full” Full Duplex – more than two
channels/devices (ex: zoom meeting).

Data Transmission Modes

Parallel

o for short distance transmission

o simultaneously at 8 bits at a time

Serial
- LGU: accepts data to be sent to the data facility. o for long distance transmission
- UART (Universal Asynchronous Receive o simultaneously at 1 bit at a time.
Transmit): a transceiver; responsible in ensuring o Synchronous - uses clocking (time
that data is transmitted over serial connection is synching).
actually being processed, so, it’s basically a 2- o Asynchronous - uses a “START” (0)
wire process. and “STOP” (1) bit.
