Communication Systems and Multiplexing Quiz

Communication = Process of transmission of information from source to destination Multiplexing = Making the most effective use of the available channel capacity Data rate = Rate at which data is transferred Bandwidth = Capacity of a communication link to transfer data

Transmitter = Sends the information Receiver = Receives the information Data link = The communication channel Source = Origin of the information

Individual data-communicating devices = Typically require modest data rate Communication media = Usually have much higher bandwidth Network = Many nodes compete to access Channel capacity = Can be effectively utilized through multiplexing

<p>Destination = Where the information is intended to reach Efficient techniques = Needed for utilizing the data link when many nodes compete to access the network Data link = Full capacity often not utilized by two communicating stations Medium = Can be shared by more than one channel of signals when its bandwidth is greater than the individual signals</p> Signup and view all the answers

<p>Bandwidth = Greater than individual signals to be transmitted through the channel Multiplexing = Used for efficiency when the channel capacity is high Data-communicating devices = Typically require modest data rate Communication media = Usually have much higher bandwidth than required by individual devices</p> Signup and view all the answers
