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.
