  1. Chapter 8:Data CommunicationFundamentals Business Data Communications, 4e

  2. Three Components of Data Communication • Data • Analog: Continuous value data (sound, light, temperature) • Digital: Discrete value (text, integers, symbols) • Signal • Analog: Continuously varying electromagnetic wave • Digital: Series of voltage pulses (square wave) • Transmission • Analog: Works the same for analog or digital signals • Digital: Used only with digital signals

  3. Analog Data-->Signal Options • Analog data to analog signal • Inexpensive, easy conversion (eg telephone) • Data may be shifted to a different part of the available spectrum (multiplexing) • Used in traditional analog telephony • Analog data to digital signal • Requires a codec (encoder/decoder) • Allows use of digital telephony, voice mail

  4. Digital Data-->Signal Options • Digital data to analog signal • Requires modem (modulator/demodulator) • Allows use of PSTN to send data • Necessary when analog transmission is used • Digital data to digital signal • Requires CSU/DSU (channel service unit/data service unit) • Less expensive when large amounts of data are involved • More reliable because no conversion is involved

  5. Transmission Choices • Analog transmission • only transmits analog signals, without regard for data content • attenuation overcome with amplifiers • signal is not evaluated or regenerated • Digital transmission • transmits analog or digital signals • uses repeaters rather than amplifiers • switching equipment evaluates and regenerates signal

  6. A Data D D Transmission System A A D Signal Data, Signal, and Transmission Matrix

  7. Advantages of Digital Transmission • The signal is exact • Signals can be checked for errors • Noise/interference are easily filtered out • A variety of services can be offered over one line • Higher bandwidth is possible with data compression

  8. Why Use Analog Transmission? • Already in place • Significantly less expensive • Lower attentuation rates • Fully sufficient for transmission of voice signals

  9. Analog Encoding of Digital Data • Data encoding and decoding technique to represent data using the properties of analog waves • Modulation: the conversion of digital signals to analog form • Demodulation: the conversion of analog data signals back to digital form

  10. Modem • An acronym for modulator-demodulator • Uses a constant-frequency signal known as a carrier signal • Converts a series of binary voltage pulses into an analog signal by modulating the carrier signal • The receiving modem translates the analog signal back into digital data

  11. Methods of Modulation • Amplitude modulation (AM) or amplitude shift keying (ASK) • Frequency modulation (FM) or frequency shift keying (FSK) • Phase modulation or phase shift keying (PSK)

  12. Amplitude Shift Keying (ASK) • In radio transmission, known as amplitude modulation (AM) • The amplitude (or height) of the sine wave varies to transmit the ones and zeros • Major disadvantage is that telephone lines are very susceptible to variations in transmission quality that can affect amplitude

  13. ASK Illustration 1 0 0 1

  14. Frequency Shift Keying (FSK) • In radio transmission, known as frequency modulation (FM) • Frequency of the carrier wave varies in accordance with the signal to be sent • Signal transmitted at constant amplitude • More resistant to noise than ASK • Less attractive because it requires more analog bandwidth than ASK

  15. FSK Illustration 1 1 0 1

  16. Phase Shift Keying (PSK) • Also known as phase modulation (PM) • Frequency and amplitude of the carrier signal are kept constant • The carrier signal is shifted in phase according to the input data stream • Each phase can have a constant value, or value can be based on whether or not phase changes (differential keying)

  17. PSK Illustration 0 0 1 1

  18. Differential Phase Shift Keying (DPSK) 0 0 1 1

  19. Analog Channel Capacity: BPS vs. Baud • Baud=# of signal changes per second • BPS=bits per second • In early modems only, baud=BPS • Each signal change can represent more than one bit, through complex modulation of amplitude, frequency, and/or phase • Increases information-carrying capacity of a channel without increasing bandwidth • Increased combinations also leads to increased likelihood of errors

  20. Voice Grade Modems

  21. Cable Modems

  22. DSL Modems

  23. Digital Encoding of Analog Data • Primarily used in retransmission devices • The sampling theorem: If a signal is sampled at regular intervals of time and at a rate higher than twice the significant signal frequency, the samples contain all the information of the original signal. • 8000 samples/sec sufficient for 4000hz

  24. Converting Samples to Bits • Quantizing • Similar concept to pixelization • Breaks wave into pieces, assigns a value in a particular range • 8-bit range allows for 256 possible sample levels • More bits means greater detail, fewer bits means less detail

  25. Codec • Coder/Decoder • Converts analog signals into a digital form and converts it back to analog signals • Where do we find codecs? • Sound cards • Scanners • Voice mail • Video capture/conferencing

  26. Digital Encoding of Digital Data • Most common, easiest method is different voltage levels for the two binary digits • Typically, negative=1 and positive=0 • Known as NRZ-L, or nonreturn-to-zero level, because signal never returns to zero, and the voltage during a bit transmission is level

  27. NRZ-L

  28. Differential NRZ • Differential version is NRZI (NRZ, invert on ones) • Change=1, no change=0 • Advantage of differential encoding is that it is more reliable to detect a change in polarity than it is to accurately detect a specific level

  29. NRZI

  30. Problems With NRZ • Difficult to determine where one bit ends and the next begins • In NRZ-L, long strings of ones and zeroes would appear as constant voltage pulses • Timing is critical, because any drift results in lack of synchronization and incorrect bit values being transmitted

  31. Biphase Alternatives to NRZ • Require at least one transition per bit time, and may even have two • Modulation rate is greater, so bandwidth requirements are higher • Advantages • Synchronization due to predictable transitions • Error detection based on absence of a transition

  32. Manchester Code • Transition in the middle of each bit period • Transition provides clocking and data • Low-to-high=1 , high-to-low=0 • Used in Ethernet

  33. Manchester Code

  34. Differential Manchester • Midbit transition is only for clocking • Transition at beginning of bit period=0 • Transition absent at beginning=1 • Has added advantage of differential encoding • Used in token-ring

  37. Asynchronous and Synchronous Transmission • Asynchronous Transmission • Data are transmitted one character at a time. • Timing (synchronization) is maintained within each character, by the use of start elements and stop elements. • Synchronous Transmission • A block of bits is transmitted in a steady stream without start and stop codes. • Synchronization • A separate clock line • To embed the clocking information in the data signal

  38. Asynchronous Transmission

  39. Synchronous Transmission • To determine the beginning and end of a block of bits • Begins with a preamble bit pattern • Ends with a postamble bit pattern • Frame = preamble + control + data + postamble

  40. Digital Interfaces • The point at which one device connects to another • Standards define what signals are sent, and how • Some standards also define physical connector to be used

  41. Generic CommunicationsInterface Illustration

  42. DTE and DCE

  43. Four Characteristics of Interfaces • Mechanical: The actual physical connection of the DTE to the DCE. • Electrical: Voltage levels and timing of voltage changes. • Functional: The functions that are performed. • Procedural: The sequence of events for transmitting data.

  44. EIA’s “Recommended Standard” (RS) Specifies mechanical, electrical, functional, and procedural aspects of the interface Used for connections between DTEs and voice-grade modems, and many other applications RS-232C (EIA 232C)

  45. EIA-232-D • new version of RS-232-C adopted in 1987 • improvements in grounding shield, test and loop-back signals • the prevalence of RS-232-C in use made it difficult for EIA-232-D to enter into the marketplace

  46. RS-449 • EIA standard improving on capabilities of RS-232-C • provides for 37-pin connection, cable lengths up to 200 feet, and data rates up to 2 million bps • covers functional/procedural portions of R-232-C • electrical/mechanical specs covered by RS-422 & RS-423

  47. Specifies the role of the individual circuits Data circuits in both directions allow full-duplex communication Timing signals allow for synchronous transmission (although asynchronous transmission is more common) Functional Specifications
