 Error detection and correction
Early Communication Systems
 Telegraph
 1830, Joseph Henry
 1832, Pavel Schilling
 1837, Samuel B. Morese, Morse code
 1844, What Hath God Wrought
 Telephone
 1876, Alexander G. Bell (“Watson come here; I need you.”)
 1888, Strowger stepper switch
 1915, US transcontinental service (requires amplifiers)
 Wireless telegraphy
 1895, Jagadish Chandra Bose builds radio transmitter
 1896, Marconi patents radio telegraphy
 1901, Marconi, first transatlantic transmission
 Radio
 1906, Reginald Fessendend, first broadcast
 1920, first commercial AM radio station (Montreal XWA ! CINW)
Communication Systems Today
 Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) for voice,
fax, modem
 Radio and TV broadcasting
 Citizens’ band radio; ham short-wave radio
 Computer networks (LANs, WANs, and the Internet)
 Satellite systems (pagers, voice/data, movie
broadcasts)
 Cable television (CATV) for video and data
 Cellular phones
 Bluetooth
 GPS
Communication Systems Now
The Figure present three typical communication
systems
 Wire-line telephone-
cellular phone connection

 TV broadcasting system

 Wireless computer
network
PSTN Design

 Local exchange
 Handles local calls
 Routes long distance calls over multiplexed high-speed
connections
 Circuit switched network tailored for voice
 Faxes and modems modulate data for voice channel
 Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) uses advanced modulation
to get 1.5-6.0 Mbps
Cellular System Basics

 Geographic region divided into hexagonal cells


 Frequencies/timeslots/codes are reused at spatially-
separated locations.
(Analog systems use FD, digital systems use TD or CD.)
 Co-channel interference between same color cells
 Handoff and control coordinated through cell base-stations
Cellular Phone Backbone Network
Mobile telephones depend on the PSTN— except for
mobiles within the same MTSO (mobile Telephone Switching
Office)
Internet

Internet
PSTN
Local Area Networks (LAN)
 “Local” means every computer can hear every other computer
 Packet Switching instead of Circuit Switching (no dedicated
channels)
 Data is broken down into packets
 Originally proprietary protocols; e.g., Ethernet was a
collaboration between Intel, IBM, and IMAC.
Wireless Local Area Networks (WLAN)
 WLANs connect “local” computers (100m range) to an access point
 As with LANs, data is broken down into packets
 Channel access is shared (random access CSMA/CA)
 Access protocols for WLANs are much more complex than for LANs
 Backbone Internet provides best-effort service (no QoS guarantee)
Wide Area Networks; the Internet
wide area network is a broad area network of interconnected devices
which are not limited to a room, building or campus; in fact, it extends to a
large geographical area such as across cities, countries, or continents.
Satellite Systems
 Satellites cover very large areas
 Different orbit heights: GEOs (39000 Km) versus LEOs (2000 Km)
 Optimized for one-way transmission, such as radio (XM, DAB) and
television (SatTV) broadcasting
 Latency (round trip delay) can be a problem
Bluetooth
 Short range connection (10–100 m)
 Bluetooth 1.2 has 1 data (721 Kbps) and 3 voice (56 Kbps) channels,
and rudimentary networking capabilities
