Study Notes
Data Communications System
- Effectiveness of a data communications system does not fundamentally rely on a specific characteristic (implying that other characteristics are crucial)
Wireless Transmission
- Unguided media example: wireless transmission
OSI Model
- OSI stands for Open Systems Interconnection
Circuit Switching
- Primary function of circuit switching in data communications: dedicated communication path between sender and receiver
TCP/IP
- TCP/IP stands for Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol in reference to network models
Packet Delivery
- Term used to describe uneven delay in delivery of audio or video packets: jitter
Unicode Coding System
- Unicode coding system uses 32 bits to represent a symbol or character used in any language in the world
Message Path
- Physical path by which a message travels from sender to receiver is known as a channel
Data Representation
- In data communications, a bit pattern represents data, text, images, or other forms of information
Data Communication Device
- Device that sends the data message in a data communications system is called a transmitter
