This document provides an introduction to data communication and transmission. It defines data and describes how data is communicated from a source to a receiver. It explains the components of a data communication system including the message, sender, receiver, medium, and protocols. Protocols are defined as sets of rules that govern communication and their functions like data sequencing, routing, formatting, flow control, error control, and security are described. The modes of data transmission - simplex, half-duplex, and full-duplex - are defined. Serial and parallel transmission methods are also explained along with asynchronous and synchronous serial transmission types.
Synchronous and Asynchronous TransmissionAdeel Rasheed
Synchronous communication requires that the transmitting and receiving devices have synchronized clocks running at the same rate to allow data to flow continuously in blocks or frames in a full duplex mode, making it efficient and reliable for transferring large amounts of data, as is used for chat rooms, video calls, and phone conversations. In asynchronous transmission, data is sent intermittently without an external clock, flowing in a half duplex mode one byte at a time, generally with 8 data bits plus a start and stop bit, and is used for letters, emails, television, and radio.
Data Communication & Computer Networks : Serial and parellel transmissionDr Rajiv Srivastava
The document discusses serial and parallel transmission. It provides details on synchronous and asynchronous serial transmission. Asynchronous transmission transmits bytes individually with start and stop bits between each byte, while synchronous transmission transmits blocks of bytes continuously at high speed using synchronization patterns. Asynchronous transmission is simpler but slower, while synchronous transmission is faster but requires accurate clock synchronization between transmitter and receiver. The document compares the two serial transmission methods and also discusses their advantages and disadvantages.
This document discusses various topics related to data transmission including:
- Data transmission involves transferring electromagnetic signals over a physical communication channel like copper wires or wireless channels.
- Transmission modes can be parallel (multiple bits sent at once) or serial (one bit at a time). Serial transmission is further divided into asynchronous and synchronous types.
- Asynchronous transmission groups data into start-stop bit sequences while synchronous transmission uses device-generated clocks for synchronization.
Computer Networks Unit 2 UNIT II DATA-LINK LAYER & MEDIA ACCESSDr. SELVAGANESAN S
The document discusses data link layer framing and protocols. It describes:
1) Two main approaches to framing - byte-oriented (using sentinel characters) and bit-oriented (using bit stuffing). Protocols discussed include BISYNC, DDCMP, and HDLC.
2) Features of PPP framing including negotiated field sizes and use of LCP control messages.
3) Functions of data link layer including framing, flow control, error control, and media access control. The relationship between the logical link control and media access control sublayers is also covered.
This document discusses different modes of data transmission between digital devices. It describes parallel transmission, which transfers all data bits simultaneously over separate lines and is faster but more costly than serial transmission. Serial transmission sends each data bit in sequence over a single line, making it less costly but slower. Transmission can be synchronous, sending multiple bytes at once without start/stop bits, or asynchronous, sending one byte at a time with start/stop bits. Modes of transmission include simplex (one-way), half duplex (one-way at a time), and full duplex (two-way simultaneous).
The document discusses various IEEE 802 standards for networking technologies including Ethernet, wireless LAN (802.11), and their variants and evolutions over time. It provides details on Ethernet standards and implementations such as 802.3, 10BASE5, 10BASE2, 10BASE-T, 10BASE-F, Fast Ethernet, and Gigabit Ethernet. It also summarizes key aspects of wireless networking standards such as 802.11 components, frame format, and physical layer specifications including FHSS, DSSS, OFDM, and associated data rates and frequencies.
Unguided media uses electromagnetic waves to transmit signals without physical conductors. This is known as wireless communication. Signals can travel through ground propagation, sky propagation, or line-of-sight propagation. The electromagnetic spectrum used for wireless communication ranges from 3 kHz to 900 THz. Unguided signals include radio waves, microwaves, and infrared waves, which propagate differently and have different applications.
This document discusses various data link control protocols. It covers framing, flow and error control, and specific protocols like HDLC and PPP. Framing involves adding structure like headers and trailers to organize data into packets. Flow and error control techniques like stop-and-wait ARQ and sliding window protocols are used to ensure reliable transmission over noisy channels. HDLC is a widely used bit-oriented protocol that defines frame structures and error control. PPP is a point-to-point protocol commonly used for dial-up internet access.

Hub, switch, router, bridge & and repeaterMaksudujjaman
This document provides descriptions of various networking devices including hubs, switches, routers, bridges, and repeaters. It explains that hubs connect multiple devices but do not filter data or determine the best path for data packets. Switches maintain a list of network addresses and transmit data packets to the correct port, allowing for faster transmission speeds than hubs. Routers route data packets based on IP addresses and connect local and wide area networks. Bridges divide large networks into smaller segments and connect different network types/architectures. Repeaters regenerate weak signals to extend transmission distances but do not amplify signals.
This document discusses several common networking devices and their functions. It describes hubs, switches, bridges, routers, gateways, CSU/DSUs, NICs, ISDN adapters, modems, and firewalls. Hubs broadcast traffic to all ports, wasting bandwidth, while switches only forward frames to their destination port. Bridges operate at the data link layer and routers at the network layer. Gateways perform protocol translation. NICs connect devices to the network. Modems convert digital to analog signals for transmission over phone lines. Firewalls control network access for security.
Transmission modes (simplex, duplex & half duplex)Rahul Kumar
There are three transmission modes: simplex which allows transmission in one direction, half duplex which allows transmission in two directions but only one direction at a time, and full duplex which allows simultaneous two-way transmission. Simplex examples include television broadcasting and loudspeaker systems, half duplex includes walkie talkies, and full duplex includes telephone networks where two people can speak and listen simultaneously. Transmission modes define the direction of signal flow between communicating devices.
The document discusses the network layer in computer networking. It describes how the network layer is responsible for routing packets from their source to destination. It covers different routing algorithms like distance vector routing and link state routing. It also compares connectionless and connection-oriented services, as well as datagram and virtual circuit subnets. Key aspects of routing algorithms like optimality, stability, and fairness are defined.
S.VIJAYALAKSHMI M.SC(CS) discusses Media Access Control and multiple access protocols. The main task of MAC protocols is to minimize collisions and utilize bandwidth by determining when nodes can access the shared channel, what to do when the channel is busy, and how to handle collisions. Early protocols like Aloha and slotted Aloha were inefficient at high loads due to many collisions. CSMA protocols reduce collisions by having nodes listen first before transmitting, but collisions are still possible due to propagation delays.
Data communication and networks by B. ForouzanPreethi T G
This document discusses different types of computer network topologies and categories. It describes mesh, star, bus, and ring topologies, providing their key characteristics, advantages, and disadvantages. It also defines local area networks (LANs), wide area networks (WANs), and metropolitan area networks (MANs), and discusses how multiple networks can be interconnected through an internet. The document serves to provide an overview of fundamental network topology and category concepts.
HDLC is a bit-oriented protocol that defines rules for transmitting data between network nodes. It supports full-duplex communication and organizes data into frames sent from a source to a destination. HDLC defines three station types - primary stations control data flow, secondary stations operate under primary control, and combined stations act as both. HDLC uses different frame types and operates in modes like normal response for point-to-point links and asynchronous balanced for communication between combined stations.
Attenuation, distortion, and noise are the main causes of transmission impairments. Attenuation is the reduction of signal strength during transmission, distortion alters the original signal shape, and noise is random electrical interference from internal and external sources that disrupts signal reception. These transmission impairments degrade, weaken, and contaminate signals as they travel through transmission mediums.
The document discusses the TCP/IP protocol suite and compares it to the OSI model. It describes the layers of the TCP/IP model including the physical, data link, internet, and transport layers. The transport layer uses TCP and UDP, with TCP being connection-oriented and reliable, while UDP is connectionless. The internet layer uses IP to transport datagrams independently. The OSI model has 7 layers while TCP/IP has 5 layers that do not directly correspond to the OSI layers.
Serial transmission reduces costs compared to parallel transmission by sending data one bit at a time over a single communication channel rather than multiple bits simultaneously over multiple channels. There are two types of serial transmission: synchronous uses a common clock and eliminates wasted bits while asynchronous uses start and stop bits but is slower. Shift registers can be used to serially input and output data from a data word non-destructively using control lines to indicate writing versus reading cycles.
Developed by ITU-T, ISDN is a set of protocols that combines digital telephony and data transport services to digitise the telephone network to permit the transmission of audio, video and text over existing telephone line. ISDN is an effort to standardise subscriber services, provide user or network interface and facilitate the inter-networking capabilities of existing voice and data networks. The goal of ISDN is to form a wide area network that provides universal end-to-end connectivity over digital media by integrating separate transmission services into one without adding new links or subscriber links.
The document discusses different methods of wireless transmission across the electromagnetic spectrum. It covers radio transmission, which can travel long distances but power falls off with distance; microwave transmission, which travels in straight lines and is used for long-distance communication; and infrared transmission, which is used for short-range communication like TV remotes but does not pass through objects well. It also mentions lightwave transmission using lasers offers high bandwidth but requires precise aiming over distance.
The network layer is responsible for routing packets from the source to destination. The routing algorithm is the piece of software that decides where a packet goes next (e.g., which output line, or which node on a broadcast channel).For connectionless networks, the routing decision is made for each datagram. For connection-oriented networks, the decision is made once, at circuit setup time.
Routing Issues
The routing algorithm must deal with the following issues:
Correctness and simplicity: networks are never taken down; individual parts (e.g., links, routers) may fail, but the whole network should not.
Stability: if a link or router fails, how much time elapses before the remaining routers recognize the topology change? (Some never do..)
Fairness and optimality: an inherently intractable problem. Definition of optimality usually doesn't consider fairness. Do we want to maximize channel usage? Minimize average delay?
When we look at routing in detail, we'll consider both adaptive--those that take current traffic and topology into consideration--and nonadaptive algorithms.

It compares fiber optic cables favorably to copper cables, noting fiber's higher bandwidth, reliability and longer transmission distances. The document also discusses specific ring-based standards like FDDI that use fiber optic cables to interconnect lower-speed LANs or mainframe computers at speeds up to 100 Mbps. Overall, the document promotes the use of fiber optic cables in LANs for their benefits over copper in supporting growing bandwidth demands.
The data link layer, or layer 2, is the second layer of the seven-layer OSI model of computer networking. This layer is the protocol layer that transfers data between adjacent network nodes in a wide area network (WAN) or between nodes on the same local area network (LAN) segment.

DATA
The collection of raw facts and figures is called data. The word data is derived from the Latin language and it is plural of Datum. The text, numbers, symbols, images, voice, and video which are processed by computers and digital devices are called data. Data can be considered as unprocessed information.
COMMUNICATION
Communication is the process of sharing a message. A conversation between two people is an example of communication.
DATA COMMUNICATION
Data Communication is the process of transferring data electrically from one place to another. It is the process of exchange of data and information between two parties such as humans and electronic or computing devices.
COMPONENTS OF COMMUNICATION SYSTEM
A Communication system has the following five components.
Message
It is the information or data to be communicated. Common forms of information include text, numbers, pictures, audio, and video.
Sender
It is the device that generates and sends a message. It can be a computer, telephone handset, etc.
Receiver
Any particular digital electronic device can receive data in form of a message. The location of receiving computer is generally different from the sending computer. Like the sender, it can also be a computer, telephone handset, etc.
Medium
It is the channel or path through which the message is carried from the sender to the receiver. Some examples include twisted-pair cable, coaxial cable, radio waves, etc.
Protocol
Protocols are the rules and procedures by which computers exchange data on the network. The sender and receiver follow the same protocols to communicate with each other. In other words, a protocol is an agreement between two parties or vendors, using communication devices.
STANDARDS
Standards are the set of rules for data communication that are needed for the exchange of information among devices. It is important to follow Standards that are created by various Standard Organizations like IEEE, ISO, ANSI, etc.
CHARACTERISTICS OF DATA TRANSMISSIONS
Data communication has several characteristics but some are discussed below:
1.Signal type
2.Transmission mode
3.Direction of transmission
1.SIGNAL
A signal is an electromagnetic or electrical current that carries data from one system or network to another.
TYPES OF SIGNAL
There are two types of signals discussed below:
Analog Signals
Analog signals are continuously varying signals or waves that change with time and are used to represent data.
Characteristics Of Analog Signals
Amplitude
The amplitude of a signal refers to the height of the signal. It is equal to the vertical distance from a given point on the waveform to the horizontal axis. It is measured in volts.
Frequency
Frequency refers to the number of periods in one second or the number of cycles per second. Frequency is measured in Hertz (Hz).
Digital Signals
A digital signal is an electrical signal that is converted into a pattern of bits to represent a sequence of discrete values, at any given time.
Ch 01 part 1 - basic elements of telecommunication systemssakariachromabook
This document provides an introduction to telecommunication networks and computer networking. It defines telecommunication as the transmission of signals over a distance for communication purposes. There are three main types of networks: local area networks (LANs), metropolitan area networks (MANs), and wide area networks (WANs). Communication systems allow information to be sent from point A to point B and vice versa, using transmission mediums like cables or wireless systems. Key components of communication systems include messages, senders, mediums, receivers, and protocols. The document also discusses analog and digital transmission, transmission modes like simplex, half-duplex and full-duplex, and common communication devices like modems and routers.
Lesson 4 communication and computer network (123 kb)IMRAN KHAN
Communication between computers has increased with advancements in data communication facilities, allowing users to access computers remotely. A computer network connects multiple computers over communication channels to share data and programs across geographical locations. It consists of senders and receivers of messages connected by a medium like cables, wireless signals, or satellites. Protocols define how computers transmit data over the network by sequencing packets, routing them efficiently, and detecting and correcting errors.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.
- These are slides of the talk given at IEEE International Conference on Software Testing Verification and Validation Workshop, ICSTW 2022.
2. Data
Factual Information: information often in
the form of facts or figures obtained from
experiments or surveys, used as a basis for
making calculations or drawing
conclusions.
Information for computer processing:
information, e.g. numbers, text, images, &
sounds, in a form that is suitable for
storage in processing by a computer.
3. Data Communication/Transmission
Data communication refers to the exchange of data between a
source and a receiver.
Data communication is said to be local if communicating devices
are in the same building or a similarly restricted geographical area.
Data communication aims at the transfer of data and maintenance
of the data during the process but not the actual generation of the
information at the source and receiver.
The device that transmits the data is known as source and the
device that receives the transmitted data is known as receiver.
4. Components of Data Communication
System
1. Message: It is the information or data to be communicated. It can consist of
text, numbers, pictures, sound or video or any combination of these.
2. Sender: It is the device or computer that generates and sends the message.
3. Receiver: It is the device or computer that receives the message. The location
of receiver computer is generally different from the sender computer. The
distance between sender and receiver depends upon the types of network used
in between.
4. Medium: It is the channel or physical path through which the message is
carried from sender to the receiver.
o The medium can be wired like twisted pair wire, coaxial cable, fiber-optic cable
or wireless like laser, radio waves, and microwaves.
5. Protocol: It is a set of rules that govern the communication between the
devices.
o Both sender and receiver follow same protocols to communicate with each
other.
5. Protocol’s Functions
Data sequencing: It refers to breaking a long message into smaller
packets of fixed size.
o Data sequencing rules define the method of numbering packets to
detect loss or duplication of packets, and to correctly identify
packets, which belong to same message.
Data routing: Data routing defines the most efficient path between
the source and destination.
Data formatting: Data formatting rules define which group of bits or
characters within packet constitute data, control, addressing, or
other information.
6. Protocol’s Functions(cont)
Flow control: A communication protocol also prevents a fast sender from
overwhelming a slow receiver.
o It ensures resource sharing and protection against traffic congestion by
regulating the flow of data on communication lines.
Error control: These rules are designed to detect errors in messages and to ensure
transmission of correct messages.
o The most common method is to retransmit erroneous message block.
o In such a case, a block having error is discarded by the receiver and is
retransmitted by the sender.
7. Protocol’s Functions(cont)
Precedence and order of transmission: These rules ensure that all the nodes get a
chance to use the communication lines and other resources of the network
based on the priorities assigned to them.
Connection establishment and termination: These rules define how connections
are established, maintained and terminated when two nodes of a network want
to communicate with each other.
8. Protocol’s Functions(cont)
Data security: Providing data security and privacy is also built into most
communication software packages.
o It prevents access of data by unauthorized users.
Log information: Several communication software are designed to develop log
information, which consists of all jobs and data communications tasks that have
taken place.
o Such information may be used for charging the users of the network based on
their usage of the network resources.
9. Data Transmission Modes in Computer
Networks
The way in which data is transmitted from one place to another is called Data
Transmission Mode.
It is also called the Data Communication Mode.
It indicates the direction of flow of information.
Sometimes, data transmission modes are also called directional modes.
10. Types of Data Transmission Modes
Different types of data transmission modes are as follows:
Simplex mode
Half-duplex mode
Full-duplex mode
11. Simplex Mode
In simplex mode, data can flow in only one direction i.e. communication is
unidirectional.
In this mode, a sender can only send data and cannot receive it. Similarly, a
receiver can only receive data but cannot send it.
In simplex mode, it is not possible to confirm successful transmission of data.
It is also not possible to request the sender to re-transmit information.
Examples of simplex mode are loudspeaker, fire alarm system, television
broadcasting, television and remote, computer to printer, keyboard and monitor
etc.
13. Half-Duplex Mode
In half-duplex mode, data can flow in both directions but only in one direction at
a time.
In this mode, data is sent and received alternatively.
It is like a one-lane bridge where two-way traffic must give way in order to cross
the other.
The Internet browsing is an example of half duplex mode.
The user sends a request to a Web server for a web page. It means that
information flows from user's computer to the web server.
Web server receives the request and sends data of the requested page. The
data flows the Web server to the user's computer.
At a time a user can a request or receive the data of web page.
Example of half duplex is a walkie- talkie in which message is sent one at a time
and messages are sent in both the directions.
15. Full-Duplex Mode
In full duplex-mode, data can flow in both directions at the same
time i.e. it is bidirectional.
We can send as well as receive the data.
It is the fastest directional mode of data communication.
The telephone communication system is an example of full-duplex
communication mode. Two persons can talk & listen at the same
time.
Another example of fully-duplex mode in daily life is automobile
traffic on a two-lane road. The traffic can move in both directions at
the same time.
17. Data Transmission
Data transmission refers to the movement of data
in form of bits between two or more digital
devices.
This transfer of data takes place via some form of
transmission media (for example, coaxial cable,
fiber optics etc.)
19. Parallel Transmission
Definition: Within a computing or communication device, the distances between
different subunits are too short.
Thus, it is normal practice to transfer data between subunits using a separate wire
to carry each bit of data.
There are multiple wires connecting each sub-unit and data is exchanged using
a parallel transfer mode.
This mode of operation results in minimal delays in transferring each word.
20. Parallel Transmission(cont)
• In parallel transmission, all the bits of data are transmitted simultaneously on
separate communication lines.
• In order to transmit n bits, n wires or lines are used. Thus each bit has its own line.
• All n bits of one group are transmitted with each clock pulse from one device to
another i.e. multiple bits are sent with each clock pulse.
• Parallel transmission is used for short distance communication.
• As shown in the fig, eight separate wires are used to transmit 8 bit data from
sender to receiver.
22. Pros & Cons of Parallel Transmission
Advantage of parallel transmission
It is speedy way of transmitting data as multiple bits are transmitted
simultaneously with a single clock pulse.
Disadvantage of parallel transmission
It is costly method of data transmission as it requires n lines to
transmit n bits at the same time.
23. Serial Transmission
Definition: When transferring data between two physically separate
devices, especially if the separation is more than a few kilometers,
for reasons of cost, it is more economical to use a single pair of lines.
Data is transmitted as a single bit at a time using a fixed time
interval for each bit.
This mode of transmission is known as bit-serial transmission.
24. Serial Transmission(cont)
• In serial transmission, the various bits of data are transmitted serially one after the
other.
• It requires only one communication line rather than n lines to transmit data from
sender to receiver.
• Thus all the bits of data are transmitted on single line in serial fashion.
• In serial transmission, only single bit is sent with each clock pulse.
• As shown in fig., suppose an 8-bit data 11001010 is to be sent from source to
destination. Then least significant bit (LSB) i.e. 0 will be transmitted first followed by other
bits. The most significant bit (MSB) i.e. 1 will be transmitted in the end via single
communication line.
• The internal circuitry of computer transmits data in parallel fashion. So in order to
change this parallel data into serial data, conversion devices are used.
• These conversion devices convert the parallel data into serial data at the sender side
so that it can be transmitted over single line.
25. Serial Transmission(cont)
On receiver side, serial data received is again converted to parallel form so that
the interval circuitry of computer can accept it.
Serial transmission is used for long distance communication.
26. Pros & Cons of Serial Transmission
Advantage of Serial Transmission
Use of single communication line reduces the transmission line cost
by the factor of n as compared to parallel transmission.
Disadvantages of Serial Transmission
1. Use of conversion devices at source and destination end may
lead to increase in overall transmission cost.
2. This method is slower as compared to parallel transmission as bits
are transmitted serially one after the other.
27. Types of Serial Transmission
There are two types of serial transmission-synchronous and
asynchronous both these transmissions use 'Bit synchronization'
Bit Synchronization is a function that is required to determine when
the beginning and end of the data transmission occurs.
Bit synchronization helps the receiving computer to know when
data begin and end during a transmission.
Therefore bit synchronization provides timing control.
28. Asynchronous Transmission
Asynchronous transmission sends only one character at a time where a
character is either a letter of the alphabet or number or control character
i.e. it sends one byte of data at a time.
• Bit synchronization between two devices is made possible using start
bit and stop bit.
• Start bit indicates the beginning of data i.e. alerts the receiver to the arrival
of new group of bits. A start bit usually 0 is added to the beginning of each
byte.
• Stop bit indicates the end of data i.e. to let the receiver know that byte is
finished, one or more additional bits are appended to the end of the byte.
These bits, usually 1s are called stop bits.
29. Asynchronous Transmission(cont)
Addition of start and stop increase the number of data bits. Hence
more bandwidth is consumed in asynchronous transmission.
• There is idle time between the transmissions of different data bytes.
This idle time is also known as Gap
• The gap or idle time can be of varying intervals. This mechanism is
called Asynchronous, because at byte level sender and receiver need
not to be synchronized. But within each byte, receiver must be
synchronized with the incoming bit stream.
30. Application of Asynchronous
Transmission1. Asynchronous transmission is well suited for keyboard type-terminals and paper
tape devices.
The advantage of this method is that it does not require any local storage at the
terminal or the computer as transmission takes place character by character.
2. Asynchronous transmission is best suited to Internet traffic in which
information is transmitted in short bursts.
This type of transmission is used by modems.
31. Advantages of Asynchronous
Transmission1. This method of data transmission is cheaper in cost as compared to
synchronous e.g. If lines are short, asynchronous transmission is better,
because line cost would be low and idle time will not be expensive.
2. In this approach each individual character is complete in itself, therefore if
character is corrupted during transmission, its successor and predecessor
character will not be affected.
3. It is possible to transmit signals from sources having different bit rates.
4. The transmission can start as soon as data byte to be transmitted becomes
available.
5. Moreover, this mode of data transmission in easy to implement.
32. Disadvantages of Asynchronous
Transmission
1. This method is less efficient and slower than synchronous
transmission due to the overhead of extra bits and insertion of gaps
into bit stream.
2. Successful transmission inevitably depends on the recognition of the
start bits. These bits can be missed or corrupted.
33. Synchronous Transmission
Synchronous transmission does not use start and stop bits.
In this method bit stream is combined into longer frames that may contain
multiple bytes.
There is no gap between the various bytes in the data stream.
34. Synchronous Transmission(cont)
In the absence of start & stop bits, bit synchronization is established
between sender & receiver by 'timing' the transmission of each bit.
Since the various bytes are placed on the link without any gap, it is
the responsibility of receiver to separate the bit stream into bytes so
as to reconstruct the original information.
In order to receive the data error free, the receiver and sender
operates at the same clock frequency.
35. Application of Synchronous Transmission
Synchronous transmission is used for high speed communication
between computers.
Advantages of Synchronous Transmission
1. This method is faster as compared to asynchronous as there are no
extra bits (start bit & stop bit) and also there is no gap between the
individual data bytes.
Disadvantages of Synchronous Transmission
1. It is costly as compared to asynchronous method. It requires local buffer
storage at the two ends of line to assemble blocks and it also requires
accurately synchronized clocks at both ends. This lead to increase in the
cost.
2. The sender and receiver have to operate at the same clock frequency.
This requires proper synchronization which makes the system
complicated.
