WHAT IS DATA COMMUNICATION

WHAT IS COMMUNICATIO ?
The

word Communication derived from Latin word Communis.

o NEED OF DATA COMMUNICATION

1)

EXCHANGE THE INFORMATION GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT

2)

are the mainly need of data communication in todays modern days.

This

The

transfer of data is referred as data communication.

In other words, data communication is the exchange of data between two devices via some form of transmission medium.

Data

communication is the transmission of electronic data over some media. The media may be cables, microwaves.

ELEMENTS OF DATA COMMUNICATION

Four basic elements are needed for any communication system.

Sender Medium. Receiver. Protocols

Data Channels
Data channels are dedicated lines for communicating digitized voice and data.
There are FOUR ways or modes for transmitting data from one location to another.

(1) Simplex Mode.

(2) Half Duplex Mode.

(3) Full Duplex Mode.

(4) Serial Mode.

1) SIMPLEX MODE

In simplex mode, data is transmitted in only one direction. A terminal can only send data and cannot receive it or it can only receive data but cannot send it. Simplex mode is usually used for a remote device that is meant only to receive data.

2) HALF DUPLEX.
In half duplex mode, data can be transmitted in both directions but only in one direction at a time. Wireless communication is an example of half duplex.

 Advantages

of Half Duplex Costs less than full duplex. Enables for two way communications

Disadvantages

of Half Duplex Costs more than simplex. Only one device can transmit at a time.

3) FULL DUPLEX.

In full mode, data can be transmitted in both directions simultaneously. It is a faster mode for transmitting data because no time wastes in switching directions.

Full Duplex Mode Example of full duplex is telephone set in which both the users can talk and listen at the same time.

Advantage of Full Duplex.

Enables two-way communication simultaneously.

Disadvantage of Full Duplex.

The most expensive method in terms of equipment because of two bandwidth channels is required.

4) SERIAL
Serial communication takes a data communication, breaks it up into small pieces, and sends the message one bit at a time through a channel. The receiver collects the small bits and reassembles them to compose the original message. Serial communication is the most common type of communication between electronic devices.

 One

example of serial communication in action is the data sent from a MODEM to the service provider.

TYPES OF DATA COMMUNICATION:

There

are THREE different types of computer data transmission are available. They are
1.Processor

to Processor 2.Personal Computer to Host Computer 3.Personal Computer to Personal Computer

1.PROCESSOR TO PROCESSOR
This communication normally refers to the communication between two or more computers to interchange large quantities of data such as bulk update of files or records and so on. This communication also refers to the communication which takes place between two or more computers when working in tandem.

2.PERSONAL COMPUTER TO HOST COMPUTER:

The personal computer can send , receive and stores the information from another large computer, which is normally the host computer.

It can be a high-end server or a mid-range server. The host computer serve the data to the personal computer.

3.PERSONAL COMPUTER TO PERSONAL COMPUTER:

Normally personal computers can communicate with each other on a one-to-one basis. They exchange the information freely with one another. This communication can also be classified into two

1) ONLINE COMMUNICATION

2) OFF-LINE COMMUNICATION

A.ONLINE

COMMUNICATION:

In this communication, a direct connection is made between the devices interchanging information, and the transfer occurs almost instantaneously. The time taken for the actual data transfer depends on the amount of data to be transmitted and the capacity of the line.

B.OFFLINE

COMMUNICATION:

In this communication, the transfer of information is not immediate. The data is prepared for subsequent transmission. Eg. Are data transfer by Pen-drive Memory-cards Hard-disk etc.
