Bandwidth
Lossy Rating
Bits sent over a single wire, one bit at a time
Serial data transmission
Parallel data transmission
Several bits sent at a time over several wires
Serial data transmission
Parallel data transmission
Transmission system in which the sender and receiver have separate clocks which are not kept synchronised. Instead, the clocks are synchronised temporarily at the start of a transmission. The arrival of data cannot be predicted by the receiver; s a start bit is used to signal the arrival of data and to synchronise the transmitter and receiver temporarily.
Asynchronous serial data transmission
Synchronus serial data transmission
For a transmission medium, the range of signal frequencies it may transmit
Bandwidth
Bit Rate
Band Rate
The sending and receiving devices exchange signals to establish that they are each ready to initiate data transfer
Bit Rate Protocol
Handshaking Protocol
IP Protocol
