Study Notes
Data Transmission
- Data transmission occurs over varying distances, including short distances (e.g., computer to printer) and longer distances (e.g., global networks).
Factors of Data Transmission
- Three primary factors are considered when transmitting data:
- Direction of transmission: Determines whether data transmits in one direction only or in both directions.
- Method of transmission: Refers to how many bits can be sent at the same time.
- Data synchronisation: Ensures the received data is in the correct order.
Communication Protocol
- Communication protocols consider the above factors to facilitate effective data transmission.
Understand the basics of data transmission, including direction, method, and synchronization. Learn how data is transmitted over short and long distances.
