Study Notes
Encapsulation & Modulation
-
Encapsulation Steps:
- User information is converted into data for transmission.
- Data is converted into segments for reliable communication between devices.
- Segments are converted into packets/datagrams for routing, with logical addresses in headers.
- Packets/datagrams are transformed into frames using transmission protocols like Ethernet. Ethernet addresses identify devices in a network.
- Frames are ultimately converted into bits using digital encoding and timing schemes.
Modulation Techniques
- Modulation: A process which alters the properties of a carrier wave to convey information.
- Carrier Signal: The wave form modified to carry the information.
- Passband: The range of frequencies or wavelengths that can pass through a filter without attenuation.
- Baseband: Signals or frequencies that don't require modulation.
- Analog/Digital Modulation: Transferring a digital bit stream onto an analog carrier wave for transmission over wider bandwidth channels.
Digital Baseband Modulation
- Baseband: The signal that uses the full available bandwidth without modulation.
- Line Coding: Processes that encode data into different waveforms over a baseband channel.
- Time Division Multiplexing (TDM): Transmitting diverse signals on a single line through time allocation.
Encapsulation
- Protocols: Layers (protocols) add control information to data at each layer in a structured approach in the OSI model.
- Protocol Data Unit (PDU): Specific information blocks added by each layer. The PDUs are contained within each other to form a hierarchical structure of data. Headers and trailers are added by layers and removed by layers in the opposite order, during transmission and reception respectively.
- OSI Model: A conceptual model that illustrates how different network protocols interact.
Decapsulation
- De-encapsulation: The process of removing headers and trailers added during encapsulation in the reverse order.
