Long-Distance Communication
Encoding used by RS-232 cannot work in all situations – For example, can not work over long
distances» Signal loss over long distance
Electric current attenuates (becomes weaker) as it travels on wire
Resulting signal loss may prevent accurate decoding of data Therefore, Encoding bits by voltage levels (like in RS-232)
does not work for long distance communication
Different data encoding schemes are needed

Long Distance Communication
Important fact: an oscillating signal travels further than direct current
For long-distance communication– Send a sine wave (called a carrier wave)
Change (modulate) the carrier to encode data bits– Extract bits from the modulated wave by a
demodulator at the receiving destination

Illustration Of A Carrier
Carrier– Usually a sine wave– Oscillates continuously
Frequency of carrier fixed Carrier can travel over much longer
distances than RS-232 signal

Characteristics of a Carrier
Amplitude – height of wave– Volts, amps, or watts
Frequency - # of times signals make complete cycle– expressed in hertz (Hz)
Phase – position of waveform

Frequency and Period
Frequency is the rate of change with respect to time. Change in a short span of time means high frequency. Change over a long span of time means low frequency.
Frequency and period are the inverse of each other– Period is measured in seconds while frequency
measured in Hertz (HZ)– E.g. period= 1 millisecond frequency= 1 Khz

Phase
Phase describes the position of the waveform relative to time zero.

Encoding Data With A Carrier
Called modulation (or Shift Keying)– Modifications to basic carrier encode
data for transmission Modulated carrier technique used
for radio and television Modulation is used with all types of
media – copper, fiber, radio, infrared, laser
![Page 11: Fall 2005 Long Distance Communication Carriers, Modulation, And Modems](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032709/5681326e550346895d99072f/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
11
Types of Modulation
Amplitude modulation – Encode (modulate) data by changing the
strength, or amplitude of the carrier Frequency modulation
– Encode data by changing the frequency of the carrier
Phase shift modulation– Encode data by changing the timing, or
performing phase shifts on the carrier Example: Two modulation techniques for
radio are frequency modulation (FM) and amplitude modulation (AM)
![Page 12: Fall 2005 Long Distance Communication Carriers, Modulation, And Modems](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032709/5681326e550346895d99072f/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
12
Example Of Amplitude Modulation
Strength of signal encodes 0 or 1 One cycle of wave needed for each bit
– Data rate limited by carrier bandwidth– Simple but less efficient
more susceptible to noise errors
![Page 13: Fall 2005 Long Distance Communication Carriers, Modulation, And Modems](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032709/5681326e550346895d99072f/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
13
Example of Frequency Modulation
Frequency variation of signal encodes 0 and 1– Frequency: # of times signals make complete cycle– Frequency expressed in hertz (Hz)
Does not suffer from sudden noise spikes
![Page 14: Fall 2005 Long Distance Communication Carriers, Modulation, And Modems](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032709/5681326e550346895d99072f/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

Phase-Shift Example
Phase – position of waveform Section of wave is omitted at phase shift Data bits determine size of omitted
section

Example of Phase-Shift Modulation
Change in phase encodes K bits Data rate higher than carrier bandwidth
– For example, if 4 possible shifts can be detected by hardware, each shift value can encode 2 bits
– Bit rate = 2 * baud rate

Modem
Sending digital data using analog signal requires modulation– Modulator encodes data bits as modulated
carrier – Demodulator decodes bits from carrier
Requires a hardware device called modem– modulator/demodulator– Contains separate circuitry for
»Modulation of outgoing signal»Demodulation of incoming signal
![Page 18: Fall 2005 Long Distance Communication Carriers, Modulation, And Modems](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032709/5681326e550346895d99072f/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
18
Full Duplex Communication
Bidirectional, or full duplex, transmission is needed
Requires modulator and demodulator at both endpoints– One modem at each end– Modulator on one modem connects to
demodulator on other Separate wires carry signals in each
direction– Long-distance connection requires a 4-wire circuit
![Page 19: Fall 2005 Long Distance Communication Carriers, Modulation, And Modems](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032709/5681326e550346895d99072f/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

Modem Examples
If external modem, RS-232 can be used to connect computer to modem
If internal modem, system bus is used

Other Types of Modems
ISDN modem
Cable modem– Coax connector for cable
and 10Base-T connector for computer
![Page 21: Fall 2005 Long Distance Communication Carriers, Modulation, And Modems](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032709/5681326e550346895d99072f/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)

Operation of Dialup Modems
Receiving modem waits for call in answer mode Other modem, in call mode: – Simulates lifting handset– Listens for dial tone – Sends tones (or pulses) to dial number
Answering modem: – Detects ringing – Simulates lifting handset – Sends carrier
Calling modem:– Sends carrier
Data exchanged
![Page 22: Fall 2005 Long Distance Communication Carriers, Modulation, And Modems](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032709/5681326e550346895d99072f/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)

Multiplexing
Allow multiple channels/users share link capacity – Fundamental to networking
Multiple signals encoding data can be carried on same medium without interference – Allows multiple simultaneous data streams – Example - Dialup modems can carry full-duplex data on one
voice channel – Example - multiple TV stations in air medium
Each separate signal is called a channel
![Page 23: Fall 2005 Long Distance Communication Carriers, Modulation, And Modems](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032709/5681326e550346895d99072f/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)

Types Of Multiplexing
Time Division Multiplexing (TDM) Statistical Time Division Multiplexing (STDM) Frequency Division Multiplexing (FDM) Spread Spectrum Multiplexing Wave Division Multiplexing (WDM)
![Page 24: Fall 2005 Long Distance Communication Carriers, Modulation, And Modems](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032709/5681326e550346895d99072f/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
24
Time Division Multiplexing (TDM)
Use a single carrier and sends data streams sequentially
Only one item at a time on shared channel Each channel allowed to be carried during pre-assigned
timeslots only Basis for most computer networks that use shared media -
will give details in later chapters Pros: fair, simple to implement Cons: inefficient (i.e., empty slots when user has no data)
![Page 25: Fall 2005 Long Distance Communication Carriers, Modulation, And Modems](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032709/5681326e550346895d99072f/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)

TDM Illustrated
![Page 26: Fall 2005 Long Distance Communication Carriers, Modulation, And Modems](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032709/5681326e550346895d99072f/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
26
Empty Timeslots in TDM
![Page 27: Fall 2005 Long Distance Communication Carriers, Modulation, And Modems](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032709/5681326e550346895d99072f/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
27
Statistical Time Division Multiplexing (STDM)
Each timeslot is allocated on a demand basis (dynamically).
Example: ATM Pros: improved performance Cons: requires buffering when aggregate input
load exceeds link capacity
![Page 28: Fall 2005 Long Distance Communication Carriers, Modulation, And Modems](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032709/5681326e550346895d99072f/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
28
Basic Principle behind FDM
Two or more signals that use different carrier frequencies can be transmitted over a single medium simultaneously without interference
Note: this is the same principle that allows a cable TV company to send multiple television signals across a single cable
![Page 29: Fall 2005 Long Distance Communication Carriers, Modulation, And Modems](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032709/5681326e550346895d99072f/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
29
Frequency Division Multiplexing (FDM)
Multiple items transmitted simultaneously Each channel is allocated a particular carrier frequency
(called bands).– Frequencies must be separated to avoid interference
All (modulated) signals are carried simultaneously (as a composite analog signal)
Receiver can "tune" to specific frequency and extract modulation for that one channel

31
Spread Spectrum Multiplexing
Spread spectrum uses multiple carriers concurrently
Single data stream divided up and sent across different carriers
Can be used to bypass interference or avoid wiretapping

Wave Division Multiplexing (WDM)
Facts– FDM can be used with any electromagnetic radiation– Light is electromagnetic radiation
When applied to light, FDM is called wave division multiplexing
