Data Transmission

There are several types of data transmission including serial, parallel, simplex, duplex, and half-duplex. Serial transmission involves sending bits one by one over a single wire, while parallel transmission sends multiple bits simultaneously over multiple wires. Simplex only allows transmission in one direction, duplex allows simultaneous two-way transmission, and half-duplex allows two-way transmission but not simultaneously. Various media are needed to transmit data over different distances, and error detection and correction techniques help ensure accurate data transmission.

Data Transmission

Transmission of Data:
• The transfer of data in the form of bits from one device to another can be described.
• Some type of medium, for example, fiber optics, etc. is necessary to transmit data.
• The data can be transmitted from the machine to the printer over a short distance or
long distances, for example calling abroad by telephone.
• For data transmission three key considerations must be considered:

1. The path for data transfer (one or two way).


2. Form of transmitting i.e. not one-time bits to pass.
3. Form of syncing.

Types of Data Transmission:


There are two types of data transmission:

1. Serial
2. Parallel

Serial Data Transmission:


• In serial communication systems, there is a single wire over which data bits are
transferred one by one.
• It is known as serial transmission because bits need to be organized before they are sent
over the channel.
• This way the receiver can receive and arrange data in order and consider it to be
errorless.
• This data processing is often used where long-distance connectivity is required.
• In serial communication systems, data transfer speed is slower than in parallel
communication systems.
• There is no problem with synchronization when transmitting serial data.

Example:

An example of serial data transmission is the transfer of bits from the computer to the
modem for transmission over the phone.

Parallel Data Transmission:


• Multiple wires in the concurrent transmission networks are transmitted continuously via
these parallel wires.
• This data transmission method is the best practical application over shorter distances.
• The bit can be skewed when a long-distance synchronization issue is used.
• Used for internal communications usually in computer networks.
• It is faster than serial data transmission.
Example:
An example of parallel data transmission is a ribbon wire that is used to transfer data from the
computer to the printer.

Modes of Data Transmission:


There are three modes of data transmission:

1. Simplex
2. Duplex
3. Half-Duplex

Simplex Data Transmission:


In this mode, data is transmitted in one direction only i.e. sender to receiver.

Example:
Transfer of data from computer to printer.

Duplex Data Transmission:


In this mode, data is transmitted in both directions simultaneously.

Example:
Broadband phone connection.
Half-Duplex Data Transmission:
In this mode, data is transmitted in both directions but not simultaneously i.e. not at the same
time.

Example:
A phone conversation.

Error Detection & Correction in Data Transmission:


• The techniques used for data processing are known as error detection while the
transmission of data, sound, and other impairments happen.
• Error identification allows efficient channel data distribution.
• It, therefore, decreases the risk of undetected error, i.e. the shift of inappropriate
frames.
• An algorithm of some kind is added to the error detecting code normally transmitted on
the channel by the data before transmission of the data.
• •The receiver uses the same algorithm, produces the submitted data's error code, and
then compares it to the end-of-sending Error Code.
• If all codes are similar then the obtained data is error-free.
• The submitted information shall otherwise be deemed inaccurate and the applicant shall
then take action.
