This document outlines the structure and content of a module on computer communications and networks. The module aims to provide an understanding of networking principles, technologies, and protocols. It is divided into four parts that cover: data transmission basics, packet transmission and local area networks, internetworking concepts and protocols like IP and TCP, and finally network applications. Assessment will involve a two hour written exam based on previous years' papers, with no coursework required.
A computer network is defined as the interconnection of two or more computers. It is done to enable the computers to communicate and share available resources.
Components of computer network
Network benefits
Disadvantages of computer network
Classification by their geographical area
Network classification by their component role
Types of servers
IP specifies the format of packets, also called #datagrams, and the addressing scheme. Most networks combine IP with a higher-level protocol called Transmission Control Protocol (TCP), which establishes a virtual connection between a destination and a source.

This presentation is part of teleconference for PGDDE students in the Course Communication Technology for DIstance Education delivered on Sptember 8, 2008.
In CDMA , All user share the same radio channel.If one user take more power than it need, then other will be suffer and capacity will be decreased.
This presentation adresses how to tune The CDMA cellular radio network in order to tolarate interference.

IT INFRASTRUCTURE OVERVIEW
IT infrastructure - includes the hardware, software, and telecommunications equipment that, when combined, provide the underlying foundation to support the organization’s goalsClient/server networks, the Internet, and n-tier infrastructures are central to an organization’s IT infrastructureThe three primary components of any IT infrastructure include:
Client/server networks
Internet
N-tier infrastructures
Computer Networks:Arguably, the greatest advancement in technology and communication over the past 20 years has been the development and advancement of the “computer network”. From emailing a friend to on-line bill paying to downloading data off the Internet to e-commerce, networking has made our world much smaller and changed the way we communicate forever.
What is Network: a system containing any combination of computers, computer terminals, printers, audio or visual display devices, or telephones interconnected by telecommunication equipment or cables: used to transmit or receive information.

I used this slide as a Introduction to the different types of networks. I tried to let the graphics do the talking on this slide. I elaborated more on each network type on subsequent slides.
Local Area NetworkA Local Area Network spans a relatively small areaLANs are usually confined to one building or a group of buildings Data travel between network devices via network cablesThe most common type of Local Area Network is called Ethernet
*
I kept the graphic the same as the previous graphic representing the Local Area Network in hopes of creating a degree familiarity. I also include some basic facts about it.
Wide Area NetworkA Wide Area Network exist over a large geographical area Data travels through telephone or cable lines across networks Usually requires a Mod ...
Computer networking is the process of connecting two or more computers together so that they can communicate with each other. This allows users to share files, printers, and other resources, as well as access the internet.
There are many different types of computer networks, including local area networks (LANs), wide area networks (WANs), and metropolitan area networks (MANs). LANs are small networks that typically connect computers in a single building or office. WANs are larger networks that connect computers over long distances, such as across cities or countries. MANs are a type of WAN that connects computers in a metropolitan area.
Computer networks use a variety of protocols to communicate with each other. Protocols are sets of rules that define how data is sent and received over a network. The most common protocol used on the internet is TCP/IP.
Computer networking is a complex subject, but it is essential for modern communication and collaboration. By understanding the basics of computer networking, you can take advantage of the many benefits that these networks offer.
