A communication Model
•
•
•
•
•
Source - generates data to be transmitted, examples are telephones and computers
Transmitter - converts data into transmittable signals
Transmission System - carries data from source to destination
Receiver - converts received signal into data
Destination - takes incoming data

Data Communication Model
1. user keys in message m comprising bits g buffered in source PC memory
2. input data is transferred to I/O device (transmitter) as sequence of bits g(t) using voltage
shifts
3. transmitter converts these into a signal s(t) suitable for transmission media being used
4. whilst transiting media signal may be impaired so received signal r(t) may differ from s(t)
5. receiver decodes signal recovering g’(t) as estimate of original g(t)
6. which is buffered in destination PC memory as bits g’ being the received message m’

1. The information source generate a message signal
2. The source encoder removes redundant information from the message signal and produce a
source code word
3. The channel encoder add some bits for the purpose of error detection and correction and
produce the channel code word
4. The modulator represent each symbol of the channel code word by a corresponding analog
symbols (resulting in signal waveform) suitable for the transmission through the channel
5. Noise and interfering signals corrupt the transmitted signal in the channel
6. Channel types: guided media (twisted pair, coaxial, fiber optic), unguided (wireless)
7. At the receiver, the received signal is processed in reverse order to that in the transmitter so
as to recover the message signal

Cellular telephone system
 The cellular mobile telephone system consists of:
Mobile Stations (MS), Base Stations (BS) and Mobile Switching Center
(MSC), connected to the Public Switching Telephone Network (PSTN)
8/17
Satellite Communication system
The information-bearing signal is transmitted from the earth terminal to the
satellite via the uplink, amplified by the transponder (electronic circuitry on
board of the satellite), and then retransmitted from the satellite via the
downlink to the other earth terminal
