Network+ Network Communication Methods
Question | Answer |
---|---|
Baseband communications | A transmission method that uses the entire media for a single transmission Nodes use the change in electrical flow to represent bits of data -Like Morse Code |
Broadband communications | A transmission method that allows nodes to use different frequencies to separate their transmissions -Like Cable TV (all channels are transmitted through one cable, the TV has a tuner to select only the frequency of the desired channel) -One frequency m |
Half-duplex communications | A mode of communication where only one participant in a transaction can transmit at a give time -Like walkie-talkies |
Full-duplex communications | A mode of communication where both participants can transmit and receive simultaneously |
Compatibility issues with baseband/broadband and full/half duplex | Choosing one technology means choosing it for the entire network as one technology is not compatible with the other |
