Basic Communication Model

A Communication model is used to exchange data between two parties.
Example communication between a computer, server, and telephone (through MoDem).
1. Source - Data to be transmitted is generated by this device, for example: telephones,
personal computers, etc.
2. Transmitter - The data generated by the source system is not directly transmitted in
the form it created. The transmitter transforms and encodes the data in such a way to
produce electromagnetic waves or signals.
3. Transmission system can be a single transmission line or a complex network
connecting source and destination.
4. Receiver accepts the signal from the transmission system and converts it into a form
that is easily managed by the destination device.
5. Destination receives the incoming data from the receiver.

Following are some business applications of computer networks:

1. Resource Sharing:
The goal is to make all programs, equipment (like printers, etc), and especially data, available
to anyone on the network without regard to the physical location of the resource and the user.

2. Server-Client model:
One can imagine a company’s information system consisting of one or more databases and
some employees who need to access it remotely. In this model, the data is stored on powerful
computers called Servers. Often these are centrally housed and maintained by a system
administrator. In contrast, the employees have simple machines, called Clients, on their desks,
using which they access remote data.
3. Communication Medium:
A computer network can provide a powerful communication medium among employees.
Virtually every company that has two or more computers now has e-mail (electronic mail),
which employees generally use for a great deal of daily communication
4. e-commerce:
A goal that is starting to become more critical in businesses is doing business with consumers
over the Internet. Airlines, bookstores, and music vendors have discovered that many
customers like the convenience of shopping from home. This sector is expected to grow
quickly in the future.

There are two ways to connect the devices:

Point-To-Point Connection
It is a protocol that is used as a
communication link between two devices. It is
simple to establish. The most common
example for Point-to-Point connection (PPP)
is a computer connected by telephone line.
We can connect the two devices using a pair
of wires or using a microwave or satellite link.
Example: Point-to-Point connection between
the remote control and Television for
changing the channels.

Multipoint Connection
It is also called a Multidrop configuration. In
this connection, two or more devices share a
single link.
There are two kinds of Multipoint
Connections:
● If the links are used simultaneously
between many devices, then it is a
spatially shared line configuration.
● If the user takes turns while using the
link, then it is time-shared (temporal) line
configuration.

 Types of Network Topology
1. Bus topology is a network type
in which every computer and
network device is connected to
a single cable. When it has
exactly two endpoints, then it is
called Linear Bus topology.

2. RING Topology is called ring

topology because it forms a ring
as each computer is connected
to another computer, with the
last one connected to the first.
Exactly two neighbors for each
device.

3. STAR topology all the

computers are connected to a
single hub through a cable. This
hub is the central node and all
other nodes are connected to
the central node.

4. MESH Topology is a point-to-

point connection to other nodes
or devices. All the network
nodes are connected.

5. TREE Topology has a root

node and all other nodes are
connected to it forming a
hierarchy. It is also called
hierarchical topology. It
should at least have three
levels to the hierarchy.

6. HYBRID topology is two

different types of topologies
which is a mixture of two or
more topologies. For
example, if in an office in one
department ring topology is
used and in another star,

 topology is used, connecting
these topologies will result in
Hybrid Topology (ring
topology and star topology).
Let Us Try

Activity I. TRUE or FALSE

Directions: Write TRUE if the statement is correct and FALSE if otherwise on the space
provided.

_______1. In Communication Model Source Data to be transmitted is generated by this

device, such as telephones, personal computers, etc.
