Data Communication is the exchange of data (in the form
of O’s and 1s) between two devices via some form of
transmission medium (such as a wire cable).
TYPES OF DATA COMMUNICATION
Data Communication is considered
Local – if the communicating device are in the same
building.
Remote – if the device are farther apart.
THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN DATA AND INFORMATION Data: Data is raw, unorganized facts that need to be processed. Data can be something simple and seemingly random and useless until it is organized.
Information: When data is processed, organized, structured or presented in a given
context so as to make it useful, it is called information. FUNDAMENTAL CHARACTERISTICS OF DATA COMMUNICATION
The effectiveness of a data communication system depends on four characteristics.
Delivery: The system must deliver data to the correct destination.
Accuracy: The system must deliver data accurately.
Timeliness: The system must deliver data in a timely manner.
Jitter : Jitter refers to the variation in packet arrival time.
COMPONENTS OF DATA COMMUNICATION FIVE COMPONENT OF DATA COMMUNICATION THE MESSAGE
This is the information (Data) to be communicated; it may
be an image, text, number, Audio, or Video.
THE SENDER
The sender is device or person that sends the data. It can be
sent using a computer, telephone, or camera.
THE RECEIVER
The receiver is device or person that receives the data. It
can be received whether by using a telephone, computer,
television. TRANSMISSION MEDIA
The physical path by which massage travel from source to
destination (sender to receiver) example –twisted pair,
coaxial cable, fiber optic, radio waves.
PROTOCOL
A protocol is set of rules that govern data communication.
It provide agreement between sender and receiver devices
DATA FLOW
1. Simplex : Communication is unidirectional i.e. TV signal
2. Half Duplex : Either direction but only one way at a time
i.e. waki toki
3. Full Duplex : Both direction at same time. i.e. Phone
