  2. Information Path Source of Information Digital Sensor Information Display Information Receiver and Processor Information Processor & Transmitter Transmission Medium

  3. Information Transmission • Procedures for transmitting digital information over a communication channel • Data sent over a channel with a limited channel capacity but > data rate • Data rate = amount of data that a source produces in one second • One and two-way data transmission • Networks permit data transmission between remotely located computers • networks transmit data in data packets

  4. Data Rate • Source produces data that the transmitter converts into signal or waveforms to be sent over communications channel • Twisted-pair (telephone), coaxial (TV), air (acoustical) or E&M wave through space • Binary transmission: two distinguishable signals (by amplitude, frequency, phase) • M-ary transmission – more than two signals to represent data; resulting in faster data transmission

  5. Data Rate Measurment • Let R = signal transmission rate (signals produced every second) • 1/R is the time duration of each signal • Data Rate: D = R log2 M

  6. Channel Noise • Noise – commonly from thermal energy • Atomic (charged) particles vibrating randomly • Disturbs the data signal • Higher temperatures cause greater thermal motion •  Sensitive receivers are placed in low-temp environments • Noise power level: n2 • Maximum signal power level produced by transmitter: s2

  7. Channel Transmission • To transmit more data per second over a channel, the transmitter could increase M, the number of distinct signals • Noise limits the value of M • Noise level present in the transmission channel dictates the maximum data rate

  8. Decoding M-ary Signals(figure 8.2, Kuc)

  9. Decoding M-ary Signalsin the presence of Noise(figure 8.3, Kuc)

  10. Channel Capacity • Measures the amount of data that can be reliably transmitted over a channel • Signal passing through a channel is always contaminated by noise • Channel capacity C with bandwidth B is • C =B log2 (1 + s2/ n2) bps • s2/ n2 is the signal to noise ratio

  11. Channel Capacity • C =B log2 (1 + s2/ n2) bps • s2/ n2 is the signal to noise ratio • Special cases • n2  0; C   • ( s2/ n2 ) » 1; C B log2 (s2/ n2) bps • n2 » s2  0; C  B log2 (1) = 0 • Long distances: attenuation occurs so s2 is decreasing, but n2 is increasing

  12. Asynchronous Data Transmission • Sends data over a transmission one bit at a time or serially • channel and receiver are idle much of the time waiting for data • data are packaged in a format: • start bit • data - one code word at a time (byte sized are common) • parity bit - error detection (even or odd) • stop bit(s) - to terminate data • all BUT data represent over head to transmit serially

  13. Asynchronous Data Transmission and Character Format (figures 8.4 and 8.5, Kuc)

  14. One-Way Data Transmission • Typically used to control remotely a device such as a TV, projector, VCR, garage door • Infrared Remote (IR) Control • Encodes the pressed button into a sequence of IR light pulses • The remote control generates a binary signal that consists of a sequence of light pulses modulated at 40 kHz for time periods of TB

  15. Infrared Remote Control Signal(figure 8.6, Kuc)

  16. Infrared Remote Control • Binary communication, M=2 • Transmits a single bit of information every TB seconds, or R= 1/TB signals per second • Data Rate: D =R log2 M =1/TB log2 2 =1/TB • Number of data bits in a code word depends upon the number of buttons on the remote • n bits will take up to 2n buttons • multiple transmission provides error correction by repetition; the receiver counts “votes”

  17. Digital Television • Standard TV as grid of small squares or picture elements (pixels) arranged in 700 columns and 400 rows per frame • assume each pixel is encoded with 8 bits • TV transmits 30 frames per second • Data rate D = 67.2  106 bits/second • or D = 67.2 Mbps

  18. MPEG • MPEG - Motion Picture Experts Group - reduce the number of bits required to transmit video since many scenes have static parts. So may only have 2 to 6 Mbps • Freeze Frame video – if the data rate is greater than the channel capacity, then each frame waits till all data received and the result appears as a series of still pictures

  19. Two-way Data Transmission With Modems • Dialog between two systems • Communication over the same channel require separation between the signals to distinguish transmitted and received signals • Modems - transmit and receive data over telephone channels - data to audible tones data rates gone from 300 bps to over 50kbps

  20. Modem Data Transmission Techniques • Use sinusoidal signals that have features that can be modified to represent data • Amplitude-modulation: changes amplitude only of a single frequency sinusoid, • Frequency-shift keying: use different frequencies • Phase-shift keying methods: change phase of a single frequency sinusoid • Baud expresses number of signal intervals that can be reliably transmitted over a channel per second (same as R used earlier).

  21. Frequency Shift Keying (figure 8.8, Kuc)

  22. Frequency Shift Keying Frequency-shift keying uses different frequencies • 300 to 3300 Hz bandwidth of the telephone network • example, two different frequencies might represent 1s & 0s • Or, more practically, four frequencies, each one assigned to a two-bit value – Baud rate the same, but the data rate doubles with the two bits per sample period.

  23. Modem – Two Way Communication (figure 8.9, Kuc)

  24. Phase-Shift Keying • Changes the phase at a constant frequency and amplitude • Can make M-ary transmission by having each value have a different phase shift relative to the immediately preceding sinusoidal signal • M=4: dibits with dibit varying by 360/4 = 90o • M=8: tribits, with tribits varying by 360/8=45o • Phase shift occurs every Tbaud seconds

  25. Phase-Shift Keying (figure 8.11, Kuc)

  26. Phase-Shift Keying • Phase shift occurs every Tbaud seconds and if M=4, every shift encodes 2 bits, so the data rate is twice the baud rate. • Modem factor: 1 bit/cycle = 1 bps/Hz • If M=8, we transmit 3 bits every 2 cycles of the waveform for a modem factor of 1.5 bps/Hz

  27. Phase-Shift Keying with Amplitude Modulation • Can go to quadbits, shifting the amplitude to two different levels and using phase shift of 45o • Now transmit 4 bits per 2 cycles of the waveform for a modem factor equal to 2 bps/Hz

  28. AM and Phase-Shift Keying (figure 8.14, Kuc)

  29. Establishing Modem Communication • No energy for 48 Tbaud • after answering the ring, both modems listen to channel to determine the noise level and if little noise use higher data rate • Alternation between 2 known signals for 128 Tbaud to synchronize the two modems • Pseudo-random alternations between known signals for 384 Tbaud • compensate for distortions in the telephone line • Transmission of known data sequence for 48 Tbaud to verify all circuits are ok

  30. Digital Cellular Telephone • Uses wide frequency band width radio channel to transmit electromagnetic signals • Frequency band divided into channels with each having a transmit & receive frequency • Each user uses the first sub-baud pair as a control channel to communicate to all users (a code determines who can actually receive the message) • Voice channel is assigned to a user when a call is made or received

  31. Cellular Telephone Frequency Channels (figure 8.16, Kuc) f

  32. Communications(IEEE Web site)

  33. Satellites • Must always be visible to the antenna with which it communicates • Uses a geosynchronous orbit as the satellite remains stationary at 36,000 km (22,300 miles) above a point on the earth • Signal delay Tt = (dt + dr)/c, c=3108 m/s • Delays can be large fraction of a second; hence one-way communications better than two

  34. Data Packets • Transmission of multiple-byte units over networks of interconnected computers • Five parts or fields: • address with routing information about the desired destination and address of the source • data length indicating the number of bytes in the data field (46 to 1500 bytes) • tag - a number that indexes the data packet (often single byte with numbers 0 to 255)

  35. Data Packets • data field contains the information to be transmitted - for internet applications the data segment is approximately 500 bytes - compromise, smaller needs more packets, larger would cause delays for access to communication links • cyclic redundancy clock (CRC) - error detection - often a one byte number simply adding up all the 1s that are in the data and retaining the smallest 8 bits of the sum. This is modulo-256 of the sum. Alternative is parity bit

  36. Data Networks • Local Area Network (LAN) • connects computers and peripheral devices • can use various means or protocols to transfer data • Wide Area Networks (WAN) • Connects devices wherever long-distance communications exist • Most common is international network known as the Internet

  37. Star Architecture for LAN(figure 8.18, Kuc)

  38. Star Architecture • All nodes connect to hub computer called a server • fast since message only goes to server then its destination • server can store message if it is not delivered • all communication stops if the server is “down” • limited number of connections to server

  39. Ring Architecture for LAN(figure 8.18, Kuc)

  40. Ring Architecture • Each node connects to two neighboring nodes and the data packets flow around the loop in one direction. • If the packet address corresponds to the node address the message is read if not it is just passed on • Does not require a separate server but it performs properly only when all the nodes are operational

  41. Bus Architecture • Most common LAN • all nodes (users) connect to the same bus • Each node can transmit and each much recognize its address to receive • Doesn’t require a separate server • Additional nodes easily added • Highly reliable since it remains operational when a node fails or is turned off

  42. Bus Architecture for LAN(figure 8.18, Kuc)

  43. A Wide-AreaNetwork(figure8.19, Kuc)

  44. Data Packets • Recall earlier we looked at the transmission of data in “data packets” • tag - a number that indexes the data packet (often single byte with numbers 0 to 255) • data field contains the information to be transmitted - for internet applications the data segment is approximately 500 bytes - compromise, smaller needs more packets, larger would cause delays for access to communication links

  45. Wide-Area Network • Consists of many switching computers or routers between the source and destination • Moving packets around the wide-area network is packet switching • The exact path of a particular packet is random – otherwise bottlenecks • More sophisticated networks offer the fastest paths • Recall that each packet has the destination and a tag to help it arrange the packets in order

  46. Ethernet • Most common communication channel for transmitting data packets • Standard has capacity of 10 million bps • Fast ethernet = 100 Mbps, Gigabit ethernet = 1 billion bps • Special data signal using two wires to transmit data and two wires to receive data

  47. Ethernet • Hence etherner uses dedicated cables to interconnect computers directly • Computer connects to network through a special network interface card (NIC) • packages the data bytes from the computer into data packets • at the receiving end another NIC receives the data packets, checks for errors, and delivers the data bytes (typically 46 to 1500 bytes)

  48. Data Packets on Ethernet • Preamble – 7 repetitions of 10101010 to synchronize the receiver (7 bytes) • Start byte with a value of 10101011 to indicate the start of the information fields (1 byte) • Destination Address (6 bytes) • Source address (6 bytes)

  49. Data Packets on Ethernet • Tag/Length field that indicates the packet number and length of data (2 bytes) • Data – varies in length (46 to 1,500 byte) • A cyclic redundancy check (CRC) for error detection (4 bytes) • Total overhead of 26 additional bytes

  50. Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) • Ethernet packets have variable length fields. • To simplify server design, ATM is used • ATM packets are always 53 bytes long (5 for routing and 48 for data • All ATM packets use the same path to the destination, so path designate by just 5 bytes to reduce the routing information • Error checking done only at the destination
