Transmission Modes


Transmission Modes in Computer Networks

Transmission mode refers to the mechanism of transferring of data between two devices connected over a network. It is also called Communication Mode. These modes direct the direction of flow of information. There are three types of transmission modes. They are:
1.    Simplex Mode
2.    Half duplex Mode
3.    Full duplex Mode


SIMPLEX Mode

In this type of transmission mode, data can be sent only in one direction i.e. communication is unidirectional. We cannot send a message back to the sender. Unidirectional communication is done in Simplex Systems where we just need to send a command/signal, and do not expect any response back.
Examples of simplex Mode are loudspeakers, television broadcasting, television and remote, keyboard and monitor etc.


HALF DUPLEX Mode

Half-duplex data transmission means that data can be transmitted in both directions on a signal carrier, but not at the same time.
For example, on a local area network using a technology that has half-duplex transmission, one workstation can send data on the line and then immediately receive data on the line from the same direction in which data was just transmitted. Hence half-duplex transmission implies a bidirectional line (one that can carry data in both directions) but data can be sent in only one direction at a time.
Example of half duplex is a walkie- talkie in which message is sent one at a time but messages are sent in both the directions.


FULL DUPLEX Mode

In full duplex system we can send data in both the directions as it is bidirectional at the same time in other words, data can be sent in both directions simultaneously.
Example of Full Duplex is a Telephone Network in which there is communication between two persons by a telephone line, using which both can talk and listen at the same time.

In full duplex system there can be two lines one for sending the data and the other for receiving data.

WHAT ETHICAL, SOCIAL, AND POLITICAL ISSUES ARE RAISED BY INFORMATION SYSTEMS?

Image
Information technology is introducing changes for which laws and rules of acceptable conduct have not yet been developed. Increasing computing power, storage, and networking capabilities--including the Internet--expand the reach individual and organizational actions and magnify their impacts. The ease and anonymity with which information is now communicated, copied, and manipulated in online environments pose new challenges to the protection of privacy and intellectual property. The main ethical, social, and political issue raised by information systems center around information rights and obligations, property rights and obligations, accountability and control, system quality, and quality of life. 1.Ethical issues:  Intellectual property rights, electronic monitoring of employees and data utilization; 2.Cultural issues:  Assimilation of emerging technologies, developing trust, power asymmetry, policy implementation, and social environments; 3.Human interaction i...

Porter’s Value Chain Analysis

Image
What is a Value Chain Analysis? The value chain also known as Porter’s Value Chain Analysis is a business management concept that was developed by  Michael Porter . In his book  Competitive Advantage  (1985),  Michael Porter  explains Value Chain Analysis; that a value chain is a collection of activities that are performed by a company to create value for its customers.   Value Creation  creates added value which leads to competitive advantage. Ultimately, added value also creates a higher profitability for an organization. Porter’s Value Chain Analysis The strength of the Porter’s Value Chain Analysis is its approach. The Porter’s Value Chain Analysis focuses on the systems and activities with customers as the central principle rather than on departments and accounting expense categories. This system links systems and activities to each other and demonstrates what effect this has on costs and profit. Consequently, it (Value Chain Analysis) ma...

General Register organization & Components of CPU and their functions:

Image
Components of CPU and their functions: CPU or  Central processing unit  is the brain of the computer system. Functions of CPU varies from data processing to controlling input-output devices. Each and every instruction no matter how complex or simple, it has to go through the CPU. In this article we will learn various components of CPU and their functions. So, let us say we press a key on the keyboard and it instantly appears on our computer monitor so the CPU of the computer is what makes this possible. The central processing unit is also responsible for storing data or information, intermediate results and instructions in the memory system. It also controls the operations of all other parts of the computer system. Functions of a CPU: CPU generally performs the arithmetical and logical operations, controlling of different input-output devices. These operations are performed based on some predefined algorithm...
