The document discusses five communication network patterns: wheel, Y, chain, circle, and all channel. The wheel pattern centers around a single leader. The Y pattern is also centralized but allows some closer contact. The chain pattern has members interacting with only one or two others in a linear fashion. The circle pattern permits each member to communicate with two others. Finally, the all channel pattern allows all members to communicate with each other.

4. The communication network refers to the pattern
through which members of a work group
communicate. It involves five communication
network such as Wheel pattern ‘Y’pattern, chain
pattern , Circle pattern and All channel pattern
network.

5. 1)WHEEL PATTERN:-In the wheel pattern communication flows from one
central person who is generally the group leader.
2)‘Y’PATTERN :- The Y pattern is slightly less centralized and some
persons are closer to the centre of the network.
3) CHAIN PATTERN:- In the Chain pattern, the persons at the two
extremes interact with only one person and all other members
communicate with two each.
4) CIRCLE PATTERN:- The Circle pattern permits each person in the group
to communicate with two in the group.
5) ALL CHANNEL PATTERN:- This Network channel permits all the
members to communicate with each other in the group.

6. CONCLUSION
Communication network is differentiated on
the basis of the channels and the number of
persons involved in the communication
process and they are grouped into Wheel
pattern, ‘Y’ Pattern, Chain pattern, Circle
pattern and All channel pattern
