Data Communication is the
exchange of data (in the form of 0’s
and 1’s) between two devices
(computers) via some form of the
transmission medium.

•Devices (Sender/Receiver)
•These are used to communicate with one another
•Medium
•This is how the devices are connected together
•Messages
•Information that travels over the medium
•Rules/Protocols
•Governs how messages flow across network

Network Elements/Components
 Network Devices

Hardware (Devices and Media)

Software (Services and Processes)
25

CSE 320
Devices
 Two Types:
 End Devices
 Intermediary Devices 26

CSE 320
End Devices and their Role
 End devices form interface with human
network & communications network
27

CSE 320
 Provides connectivity between end devices.
 Manages data as it flows through the network.
 Examples?
Switches
Routers
Intermediary devices

Software
 Services :
 provides information in response to a request.
 For example e-mail hosting services and web
hosting services.
 Processes :
 Provide the functionality that directs and
moves the messages through the network.
 Processes are less obvious to us but are
critical to the operation of networks.

Messages- Data Representation
 Information today comes in different forms
such as
 text, numbers, images, audio, and video.
34

CSE 320
Data Representation-Text
 Text : Different sets of bit patterns are
designed to represent text symbols. Each
set is called a code.
 ASCII

American Standard Code for Information
Interchange: 7-bit code/char, 1 bit for parity.
 Unicode - 16 bit codes to represent a symbol.

CSE 320
 Images –

Also represented by bit patterns.

Mechanism different. Matrix of Pixels used. Each
pixel is assigned to a bit pattern.

Color images uses RGB or YCM methods.

38

CSE 320
Audio- Continuous, not
discrete. Converted to
digital or analog signal.
Data Representation

CSE 320
Rules - Protocols
 A set of predetermined rules that govern
communication.
 Defines:
 What is communicated??
 How it is communicated??
 When it is communicated??
40

CSE 320
Network Types
 PAN
 LAN
 MAN
 WAN
41

CSE 320
Personal Area Networks (PAN)
 A network that connects computers, peripherals
and other devices within a personal operating
space.
 Eg. Bluetooth

42

CSE 320
Local Area Networks (LAN)
 Connects computers,
peripherals and other devices
within a building (e.g. office,
home) or in a limited area.
 Typical coverage 50 to 300
meters.
 Ex. Ethernet, Wireless LANs
http://www.conniq.com
43

CSE 320
Metropolitan Area Network
(MAN)
 Is a city wide network.
 The coverage limitation is not strict, but real
implementation may have range of up to 50 km in
urban, suburban, or rural area.
 Ex. WiMax
44

CSE 320
Wide Area Networks (WANs)
 A network that spans larger geographical area.
 LANs separated by geographic distance are
connected by a Wide Area Network (WAN)
 PSTN, Cellular Networks (GSM etc)
45

CSE 320
Internet
 The internet is defined as a global mesh
of interconnected networks.
