The Communication Concepts Model: A Look into the Cellular Phone Voice Call By: Brianna Person
Encoding Defined: Recode or modify information into a desired format or pattern for a specific method of transmission or storage Sub Concept: • Converting Acoustical to Electrical Energy: To change acoustical waveforms (noise) into an electrical signal.
Transmitting Defined: To convey information from one location to another Sub Concept: • Duplexing: Process is which both ends of the communication can send and receive signals at the same time. • Full-Duplex: Both directions at the same time. • Switching: Process that allows for the interconnection of more than two communication devices.
Cell phones operate on a duplex system, which uses two frequencies – one for talking or sending, and one for listening or receiving
Receiving Defined: The process of capturing a signal and then relaying it to the decoding device Sub Concept: • Collecting: The capturing an electromagnetic wave that has been propagated by a transmitting antenna. • Connecting: The physical channels that move the signal to the decoding process.
When you dial a particular number, the base station will automatically identify that number and assign an encrypted code on its transmission • Cell phones also operate within cells and they can switch cells as they move around
Storing Defined: Processes are concerned with holding and retaining data for use at some later time Sub Concept: • Memory: The processes that are used to acquire, store, retain and later retrieve information. • i.e. SIM Card
They are a quick and easy solution to prevent borders, carriers or locked-down phones from slowing you down. SIM cards keep all of the information that is needed right on your phone.
Retrieving Defined: Recalling information from a stored condition Sub Concept: • Indexing: The process of coding an item for retrieval purposes.
Electronic Serial Number is issued to each phone for the life of that cell phone • The ESN is used so that every time you call someone, a central system identifies you as the caller
Decoding Defined: Presenting information in such a way that the user can benefit from it Sub Concept: • Converting Electrical to Acoustical Energy: To covert the electrical signal back into a form that people can understand
Don't think of a cell phone as a telephone, think of it as a radio • Calls can be intercepted!
