1. DIGITAL COMMUNICATION ASSIGMENT1 TASK 1

2. EXAMPLES OF PROTOCOLS
 Internet protocol (IP) which uses a set of rules to send and receive messages at the internet address
level
Such as :
 Wi-Fi
 Bluetooth
 Routing protocols
 HTTP
 IMAP

3. WIFI
This protocol is on of the most popular network technologies, Wi-Fi
connections support millions of people in home and public locations
around the world. It is a common part of our everyday lives now that
its easy to take Wi-Fi for granted,
An access point is a type of wireless hub useful for coordinating the
network traffic of multiple people. A reason why wireless broadband
routers makes home networks much easier to build is that they
function as Wi-Fi access points.

4. BLUETOOTH
• This is a standard of a short-range wireless
interconnection of mobile phones computers, and
other electronic devices
• Bluetooth involves communication and
entertainment.
• Smart phones have Bluetooth technology built into
the phone.
• Its possible to stream digital music with Bluetooth
communication. They are wireless speakers, wireless
headphones available to stream music from a
Bluetooth enable source such as an apple device or
tablets and computers .

5. ROUTING PROTOCOLS
 A routing protocols specifies how routers communicate with each other, disseminating information that
enables them to select routes between ant two network. A routing protocols shares this information first
among immediate neighbours.
 Some versions of the open system interconnection networking model distinguish routing protocols in a
special sublayer of the network layer

6. HTTP
 The hypertext transfer protocol is an application protocol for distributed
collaborative, hypermedia information systems.
 HTTP is the foundation of data communication for the world wide web.
Hypertext is structured text that uses logical links between nodes containing
text.

7. IMAP
 This is a standard email protocol that stores email messages on a mail server, but allows the end user to
view and manipulate the massages as though they were stored locally on the end users computing
devices.
 The internet message access protocol is a mail protocol used for accessing email on a remote web server
from a local client. IMAP and POP3 are the two most commonly used internet mail protocols for
retrieving emails. Both protocols are supported by all modern email clients and web servers.

8. EXAMPLES OF METHODS
 Data transmission or digital communication is the transfer of data a digital bit stream or a digitized
analog signal over a point to multipoint communication channel.
 Forums
 Blogs
 Email
 SMS
 Video conferencing

9. FORUMS
 Forums is an online site where people cane hold conversations the form of
posted messages. They differ from chat room and in that messages are often
longer than one line of text and are at least temporarily archived.

10. BLOGS
 Blogs are a regularly updated website or web page, typically one run by an
individual or small group, that is written in an informal or conversational
style.

11. EMAIL
 Email is a message distributed by electronic means from a computer or a
mobile devices, this source is always to send information or work to someone
and it is a quick method of sending work.

12. SMS
 Short Message Service (SMS) is a text messaging service component of most telephone,
World Wide Web, and mobile telephony systems.

13. VIDEO CONFERENCING
 Videoconferencing (VC) is the conduct of a videoconference (also known as
a video conference or video teleconference) by a set of telecommunication
technologies which allow two or more locations to communicate by
simultaneous two-way video and audio transmissions.
