 Basics of Communication
• The term telecommunication means communication at a distance.
• The word data refers to information presented in whatever form is
agreed upon by the parties creating and using the data.
• Data communications are the exchange of data between two devices
via some form of transmission medium such as a wire cable.

01-08-2024 Dr. Nilesh M. Patil 3

Effective Characteristics of Data Communication
• Delivery. The system must deliver data to the correct destination. Data must be
received by the intended device or user and only by that device or user.
• Accuracy. The system must deliver the data accurately. Data that have been
altered in transmission and left uncorrected are unusable.
• Timeliness. The system must deliver data in a timely manner. Data delivered late
are useless. In the case of video and audio, timely delivery means delivering data
as they are produced, in the same order that they are produced, and without
significant delay. This kind of delivery is called real-time transmission.
• Jitter. Jitter refers to the variation in the packet arrival time. It is the uneven delay
in the delivery of audio or video packets. For example, let us assume that video
packets are sent every 30 ms. If some of the packets arrive with 30-ms delay and
others with 40-ms delay, an uneven quality in the video is the result.

Components of a data communication system

01-08-2024 Dr. Nilesh M. Patil 5

Components of a data communication system
1. Message. The message is the information (data) to be communicated. Popular forms of information include text,
numbers, pictures, audio, and video.
2. Sender. The sender is the device that sends the data message. It can be a computer, workstation, telephone handset,
video camera, and so on.
3. Receiver. The receiver is the device that receives the message. It can be a computer, workstation, telephone handset,
television, and so on.
4. Transmission medium. The transmission medium is the physical path by which a message travels from sender to receiver.
Some examples of transmission media include twisted-pair wire, coaxial cable, fiber-optic cable, and radio waves.
5. Protocol. A protocol is a set of rules that govern data communications. It represents an agreement between the
communicating devices. Without a protocol, two devices may be connected but not communicating, just as a person
speaking French cannot be understood by a person who speaks only Japanese. The key elements of a protocol are syntax,
semantics and timing.
a) Syntax : Refers to the structure or format of the data, means the order in which they are presented.
b) Semantics : Refers to the meaning of each section of bits, means how a particular pattern is to be
interpreted, and what action is to be taken based on that interpretation.
c) Timing : Means that data should be sent and how fast they can be sent.

Data flow (simplex, half-duplex, and full-duplex)

Example of simplex mode are: Keyboard and monitor.

Example of half duplex mode is: Walkie-Talkies.

Example of full duplex mode is: Telephone.

Network
• A network is a set of devices (often referred
to as nodes) connected by communication
links.
• A node can be a computer, printer, or any
other device capable of sending and/or
receiving data generated by other nodes on
the network.
• A link can be a cable, air, optical fiber, or
any medium which can transport a signal
carrying information.
01-08-2024 Dr. Nilesh M. Patil 8
Network Criteria

• Performance
• Depends on Network Elements
• Measured in terms of Delay and Throughput
• Reliability
• Failure rate of network components
• Measured in terms of availability/robustness
• Security
• Data protection against corruption/loss of data due to:
• Errors
• Malicious users

01-08-2024 Dr. Nilesh M. Patil 9

Type of Connection
• Point to Point - single transmitter and receiver
• Multipoint - multiple recipients of single transmission

01-08-2024 Dr. Nilesh M. Patil 10

Topology
• Network topology refers to the way different
computers, devices or nodes connect to each other in
a communication network.
• It describes their physical arrangement and explains
the logical flow of information throughout the
network.
• A computer network topology can consist of one
physical topology and several logical topologies.
• A physical topology explains how computers, devices
or nodes connect with each other in a network based
on their location. It involves assessing the physical
layout of network cables and workstations.
• Conversely, a logical topology explains how data flows
from one device to another based on network
protocols. It assesses the way devices communicate
with each other internally.
• Therefore, network topology defines the virtual shape,
layout and structure of a network from both a physical
and logical viewpoint.

Categories of Networks
• Personal Area Network (PAN)
• Local Area Network (LAN)
• Metropolitan Area Network (MAN)
• Wide Area Network (WAN)

01-08-2024 Dr. Nilesh M. Patil 19

Personal Area Network (PAN)
• It is an interconnection of personal technology devices to
communicate over a short distance, which is less than 33 feet or 10
meters or within the range of an individual person, typically using
some form of wireless technologies.
• Examples of PAN:
1. Body Area Network
2. Home Network

01-08-2024 Dr. Nilesh M. Patil 20

 Local Area Network (LAN)
• Local Area Network is a group of computers connected
to each other in a small area such as building, office.
• LAN is used for connecting two or more personal
computers through a communication medium such as
twisted pair, coaxial cable, etc.
• It is less costly as it is built with inexpensive hardware
such as hubs, network adapters, and Ethernet cables.
• The data is transferred at an extremely faster rate in
Local Area Network.
• Traditional LANs run at speeds of 10 Mbps to 100 Mbps.
Newer LANs operate at upto 10 Gbps.
• Local Area Network provides higher security.

01-08-2024 Dr. Nilesh M. Patil 21

Metropolitan Area Network (MAN)
• A metropolitan area network is a network that
covers a larger geographic area by interconnecting a
different LAN to form a larger network.
• Government agencies use MAN to connect to the
citizens and private industries.
• In MAN, various LANs are connected to each other
through a telephone exchange line.
• The most widely used protocols in MAN are RS-232,
Frame Relay, ATM, ISDN, ADSL, etc.
• It has a higher range than Local Area Network (LAN).
• Supports both data and voice.
• Speed: 34 to 150 Mbps

01-08-2024 Dr. Nilesh M. Patil 22

Wide Area Network (WAN)
• A Wide Area Network is a network that
extends over a large geographical area such
as states or countries.
• A Wide Area Network is quite bigger
network than the LAN.
• It spans over a large geographical area
through a telephone line, fiber optic cable
or satellite links.
• The Internet is one of the biggest WAN in
the world.
• A Wide Area Network is widely used in the
field of Business, government, and
education.

Network Application
• Resource sharing: Resource sharing is the sharing of resources such as programs,
printers, and data among the users on the network without the requirement of
the physical location of the resource and user.
• Server-Client model: Computer networking is used in the server-client model. A
server is a central computer used to store the information and maintained by the
system administrator. Clients are the machines used to access the information
stored in the server remotely.
• Communication medium: Computer network behaves as a communication
medium among the users. For example, a company contains more than one
computer having an email system which the employees use for daily
communication.
• E-commerce: Computer network is also important in businesses. We can do the
business over the internet. For example, amazon.com is doing their business over
the internet, i.e., they are doing their business over the internet.

Networking Devices
• Repeater
• Hub
• Switch
• Bridge
• Router
• Gateway

01-08-2024 Dr. Nilesh M. Patil 28

Repeater
• Also called a regenerator.
• Operates only in the physical layer of the ISO-OSI model.
• Simply regenerates the weak signal and transmit the regenerated
signal.
• Provides signal amplification.

01-08-2024 Dr. Nilesh M. Patil 29

Hub
• Also called the central concentrator or controller.
• Operates in the physical layer of the ISO-OSI model.
• It simply transmits the incoming signals to the other media segments.
• Provides central management.
• Do not amplify the incoming signal.

01-08-2024 Dr. Nilesh M. Patil 30

Switch
• Operates in the data link layer of the ISO-OSI model.
• Buffer the incoming packet.
• Check the address and decide the outgoing line.
• Retransmit the packet only if the line is idle.

01-08-2024 Dr. Nilesh M. Patil 31

Bridge
• Operates in the data link layer of the ISO-OSI
model.
• A bridge connects two or more LANs.
• When a frame arrives, software in the bridge
extracts the destination address from the frame
header and looks it up in the bridge table to see
where to send the frame.
• Can divide the busy network into segments and
reduce the network traffic.

01-08-2024 Dr. Nilesh M. Patil 32

Router
• Operates at the network layer of the ISO-OSI model.
• Interconnects two or more networks which can be heterogeneous.
• They decide on the most efficient path that the packets should take
while flowing from one network to another.

01-08-2024 Dr. Nilesh M. Patil 33

Gateway
• Operates at all the seven layers of the ISO-OSI
model.
• It is a protocol converter.
• A gateway can accept a packet formatted for
one protocol and can convert it into a packet
formatted for another protocol before
forwarding it.
• Gateway must adjust data rate, size, and data
format.
• Gateway is generally a software installed
within a router.

01-08-2024 Dr. Nilesh M. Patil 34

Network Software
• Software components are the programs or applications that run on these
networking devices.
• Software includes things like operating systems, antivirus software, and
networking tools.
• Functions of network software
1. User management allows administrators to add or remove users from
the network. This is particularly useful when hiring or relieving users.
2. File management lets administrators decide the location of data
storage and control user access to that data.
3. Access enables users to enjoy uninterrupted access to network
resources.
4. Network security systems assist administrators in looking after
security and preventing data breaches.

01-08-2024 Dr. Nilesh M. Patil 35

 Protocol Hierarchies
• Most networks are organized as a series of layers or levels.
• To reduce the design complexity, networks are organized as a
series of layers or levels, one above the other.
• The number of layers, the name of each layer, the contents of
each layer and the function of each layer differ from network
to network.
• The purpose of each layer is to offer certain services to the
higher layers.
• Layer n on one machine (sender) carries a conversation with
layer n on another machine (receiver).
• The rules and conventions used in this conversation are
collectively known as the layer n protocol.
• If the protocol is violated, communication will be difficult.
• The entities comprising the corresponding layers on different
machines are called as peers.
• The communication actually takes place between the peers
using the protocol.
• The dotted lines show the virtual communication and the
physical communication is shown by solid lines.
• Between each pair of adjacent layers is interface. The interface
defines which primitive operations and services the lower layer
offers to the upper layer.
• A set of layers and protocols is called a network architecture.
01-08-2024 Dr. Nilesh M. Patil 36
Design Issues for the Layers
1. Mechanism for identifying senders and Receivers (addressing).
2. Rule for data transfer: Simplex, Half-Duplex, and Full-Duplex.
3. Error control (Detection and Correction ).
4. Preserving order of messages (Sequencing).
5. How to keep a fast sender from swamping a slow receiver (flow control).
6. Inability of all processes to accept arbitrarily long messages. (Dismantling
– Transmit – Reassembling)
7. Multiplexing and demultiplexing is to be used to share the same channel
by multiple sources simultaneously.
8. In the case of multiple paths, Routing Algorithms are required to choose
the optimal path.
9. Connection Establishment, maintenance, and termination once the
session is over.

01-08-2024 Dr. Nilesh M. Patil 38
Service Primitives
• A service is formally specified by a set of primitives (operations) available to a user process to access the
service.
• There are five types of service primitives:
1. LISTEN: When a server is ready to accept an incoming connection, it executes the LISTEN primitive. It blocks
waiting for an incoming connection.

2. CONNECT: It connects the server by establishing a connection. The response is awaited.

3. RECEIVE: Then the RECEIVE call blocks the server.

4. SEND: Then the client executes SEND primitive to transmit its request followed by the execution of RECIEVE
to get the reply. Send the message.

5. DISCONNECT: This primitive is used for terminating the connection. After this primitive one can't send any
message. When the client sends DISCONNECT packet then the server also sends the DISCONNECT packet to
acknowledge the client. When the server package is received by client then the process is terminated.

Communication Between Layers

01-08-2024 Dr. Nilesh M. Patil 40

ISO-OSI Model

01-08-2024 Dr. Nilesh M. Patil 41

1. Physical Layer:
• It deals with the physical layout of the network.
• It deals with transmitting raw bits (0’s and 1’s) over the communication channel.
• The design issues here deal with the mechanical, electrical and timing interfaces
and the physical transmission medium which lies below the physical layer.

2. Data Link Layer:

• It breaks the data into frames and passes it to the network layer.
• It deals with error control mechanism during transmission.
• It deals with the flow control mechanism to prevent the drowning of the slow
receiver by the fast transmitter.
• It controls access to the shared medium.

01-08-2024 Dr. Nilesh M. Patil 42

3. Network Layer:
• It determines the network path on which to route the packet.
• Helps to reduce network congestion.
• Establishes virtual circuits.
• Routes frames to other network, resequencing packet transmission when needed.

4. Transport Layer
• Ensures reliability of packet transmission from node to node.
• Ensures data is sent and received in the same order.
• Provides acknowledgment when a packet is received.
• Monitors for packet transmission errors, and resends the damaged packets.

5. Session Layer
• It deals with dialogue control and synchronization to keep track of whose turn is it to transmit.
• It deals with token management to prevent two parties from attempting the same critical operation at
the same time.
• It deals with check-pointing long transactions to allow them to continue from where they were after a
crash.

01-08-2024 Dr. Nilesh M. Patil 43

6. Presentation Layer
• It deals with syntax of information.
• It deals with semantics of information.
• It deals with compression of information.
• It also deals with encoding of information.
7. Application Layer

TCP/IP Model

01-08-2024 Dr. Nilesh M. Patil 46

1. Network Access Layer (Host-to-Network Layer):
• A network access layer is the lowest layer of the TCP/IP model.
• A network access layer is the combination of the Physical layer and Data Link layer defined in the OSI
reference model.
• It defines how the data should be sent physically through the network.
• This layer is mainly responsible for the transmission of data between two devices on the same network.
• The functions carried out by this layer are encapsulating the IP datagram into frames transmitted by the
network and mapping IP addresses into physical addresses.
• The protocols used by this layer are Ethernet, Token ring, FDDI, X.25, and Frame relay.

2. Internet Layer:
• It permits hosts to inject packets into the network and make these packets reach their destination.
• It defines the packet format and protocol called the Internet Protocol (IP).
• Main focus is on packet routing.

01-08-2024 Dr. Nilesh M. Patil 47

3. Transport Layer:
• The transport layer is responsible for the reliability, flow control, and correction of data which is
being sent over the network.
• It has two main protocols: Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) and User Datagram Protocol (UDP).
• TCP:
(i) Reliable, connection-oriented.
(ii) Allows byte stream from one machine to be delivered to any other machine on the network.
(iii) Handles error control and flow control.
• UDP:
(i) Unreliable, connectionless.
(ii) Used for client-server type queries, where prompt delivery is more than reliability.
(iii) Does not implement flow or error control.

01-08-2024 Dr. Nilesh M. Patil 48

4. Application Layer
• An application layer is the topmost layer in the TCP/IP model.
• It is responsible for handling high-level protocols, issues of
representation.
• This layer allows the user to interact with the application.
• When one application layer protocol wants to communicate with
another application layer, it forwards its data to the transport layer.
• Contains protocols like FTP, SMTP, HTTP, DNS, Telnet.

• NSSF (Network Slice Selection Function): Selects the appropriate network slice for a UE
• NEF (Network Exposure Function): Exposes capabilities and events from the 5G core network to
external applications
• NRF (Network Repository Function): Maintains a database of available network function services
• PCF (Policy Control Function): Defines and updates network policies for QoS, charging, etc.
• UDM (Unified Data Management): Stores and manages subscriber data and profiles
• AF (Application Function): Interacts with the 5G core network to influence traffic routing
• AUSF (Authentication Server Function): Stores authentication data and performs authentication
for UEs
• AMF (Access and Mobility Management Function): Handles registration, connection, and
reachability of user equipment (UE)
• SMF (Session Management Function): Establishes, modifies, and releases user sessions by
allocating IP addresses to UE.
• UE (User Equipment): The end-user device (e.g., smartphone, IoT device, vehicle modem)
• RAN (Radio Access Network): Consists of base stations and handles functions like radio
transmission, reception, and handovers.
• DN (Data Network): Represents external networks or services (e.g., internet, private corporate
networks)
