What is Digital Communication?

TX RX

Communication: Exchange of Information

Four Key Elements:Transmitter, 信源

Receiver, 信宿

Channel, 信道

Carrier, 载波


How to Perform Digital Communication?

TX RX

Encoding, 编码（信息 => 比特流）:Source Coding: 数据压缩, 降低冗余度, 例如：霍夫曼编码

Channel Coding : 差错纠正, 增加冗余度, 例如：汉明编码

Encoding + Modulation Demodulation + Decoding

平均码长: 1.85 bits/symbol 4 bits => 7 bits, 一位纠错


How to Perform Digital Communication?

TX RX

Modulation, 调制（比特流 => 波形）:Amplitude Modulation: ASK

Phase Modulation: PSK, DPSK, QPSK

Frequency Modulation: FSK

Combinational Modulation: 16QAM, 64QAM, …

Carriers, 载波（声、光、电）

Encoding + Modulation Demodulation + Decoding

星座图: 8-PSK


Communication Channels

Open Channel: Atmosphere, Deep SpaceAgile, Cheap, Insecure, Unreliable, lots of interference


Communication Channels

Guided Channel: Optical Fiber, Coaxial Cable, …Secure, reliable, less interference, expensive


Multiple Access: Multiplexing


Multiple Access: Multiplexing

TX RX

Multiplexing, 共享信道:Time Division Multiplexing (TDM)

Frequency Division Multiplexing (FDM)

Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM)

Code Division Multiplexing (CDM)

TX RX

TDM

FDM



WDM is FDMWavelength/Frequency => Color




What is a Telecommunication Network?

Definition: a collection of terminal nodes, links and anyintermediate nodes that are connected so as to enabletelecommunication between the terminals.

Mathematically: G(V, E), V is the set of nodes, E is the set oflinks

Communication in a Telecom Network

Routing:Find a proper route between the source anddestination nodes

Forwarding:Send data to the destination following a pre-determined route

Switching:Setup a communication session.


Communication in a Telecom Network

Setup an end-to-end communicationsession.

Establish communication channelbetween the transmitter and receiver.

Adjust the working status of eachintermediate node if there is any.

Switching: Circuit Switching, Packet Switching


Switching in NetworksCircuit Switching

End-to-end communication is carried by circuits

Reserve bandwidth b on each link along therouting path p

Data is forwarded along in the circuit pipeline

Packet SwitchingEnd-to-end communication is carried by packets

Each packet is labeled with its destination address

Each packet is forwarded based on its destinationaddress


Circuit Switching

SwitchFabricDeMux Mux

Crossconnect


Circuit Switching

Connection-Oriented Services

Resource Reservation

FDM, TDM, …

Guaranteed Quality-of-Service (QoS)

Expensive but Reliable

Examples: Telephone Networks


Packet Switching

Router


Packet SwitchingConnectionless Services

Resource Allocation

Statistical Time-Division Multiplexing

Best-Effort

Cheap but Unreliable

Examples: IP Data Networks


Routing in a NetworkSingle-path Routing:

Request is carried with a single routing path fromthe source to the destination.

Shortest path routing: Dijkstra Algorithm

Weighted routing

Multi-path Routing:Request is carried with multiple routing paths fromthe source to the destination.

K-shortest path search algorithm
