18 Encoding and Decoding If some data (analog or digital) have to be transmitted in the form of digital signal, the data have to be encoded into digital signals at the sender site. At the receiver site, the received digital signals are decoded to retrieve the original data (analog or digital).

19 Modulation & Demodulation If some data (analog or digital) have to be transmitted in the form of analog signal, the data have to be modulated into analog signals at the sender site.

23 How to check if the decoded data are corrupted? A frame is usually composed of header field, data payload field, and frame check sequence (FCS) field. The value filled in the FCS field is calculated by the Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) algorithm. The input data for the algorithm are the contents of header field and data payload field. Before a frame is transmitted at the sender site, a CRC value is calculated and filled in the FCS field. When the frame is received at the receiver site, another CRC calculation is done and the new CRC value is used to compare with the value of the FCS field. If the two values are different, the received data are considered corrupted. Sender Site Receiver Site Payload FCS Payload FCS CRC CRC =? Copyright 2-28, EstiNet Technologies Inc.

25 When wired signals enter a network device like hub or repeater, the signals directly pass through the device without experiencing signal decoding. 2 Before signals enter the hub Signals are directly broadcasted to other ports Copyright 2-28, EstiNet Technologies Inc. All Rights Reserved.. 25

26 When wired signals enter a network device like switch or router, the signals have to experience signal decoding and the decoded data have to be stored and processed for determining the outgoing interface/port. Before signals enter the switch 2 Signals are received by the switch for finding out the destination 3 Signals are forwarded only to the port which the destination is connected to 26 Copyright 2-28, EstiNet Technologies Inc.

Wired signals could collide with other signals while being transmitted on a wire. If, on a wire, only one direction is allowed to transmit signals simultaneously, it is called half duplex.

27 Wired signals could collide with other signals while being transmitted on a wire. If, on a wire, only one direction is allowed to transmit signals simultaneously, it is called half duplex. If signals are transmitted from both directions simultaneously, a signal collision occurs and that results in no successful signal reception. If, on a wire, both directions are allowed to transmit signals simultaneously, it is called full duplex. No collision occurs on a full-duplex wire. Copyright 2-28, EstiNet Technologies Inc.

The transmission power of signal is gradually attenuated along with the signal emission path. When the power is lower than the receiving sensitivity of a receiver, no signal is received.

34 The transmission power of signal is gradually attenuated along with the signal emission path. When the power is lower than the receiving sensitivity of a receiver, no signal is received. Sender Receiver The receiver is moving within the coverage of transmitted signals, it receives the signals successfully. Once the receiver moves beyond the coverage of the transmitted signal, no signal is received. Sender Receiver Copyright 2-28, EstiNet Technologies Inc. All Rights Reserved.. 34
