Telecommunication Assignment: Layer One, Data Transmission, and OSI

This telecommunication assignment delves into key concepts within the field. It begins with an exploration of Layer One, covering amplitude and frequency modulation techniques, along with a comparative analysis of various Layer One media types and their suitable environments. The assignment then examines data transmission, specifically focusing on error correction methods and different multiplexing techniques such as Frequency Division Multiplexing (FDM), Time Division Multiplexing (TDM), and Wave Division Multiplexing (WDM). Furthermore, it discusses the functions of traditional modems in Wide Area Networks (WANs) and contrasts the characteristics of Ethernet and Token Ring Local Area Networks (LANs). Finally, the assignment concludes with a detailed listing of the OSI protocol stack, including layer names, functions, and examples.

TELECOMMUNICATION 2
Question A: Layer One
1. Amplitude modulation
The amplitude modulation is defined as the technique which is used in the field of
communication for improving the amplitude of the input signal. In such kind of
modulation technique, the input signal is multiplied with the large amplitude carrier
signal in order to enhance the amplitude level of the applied signal (Ozolins, et al.,
2017). Moreover, the amplitude of the carrier signal is varied in the proportion to the
message signal which is transmitted from the source. It is observed that the modulation
technique has the potential to provide the large amplitude signal which can improve the
strength of the signal and receiver can receive better output. The carrier signal is a
simple sine wave with a large amplitude which is mixed with the applied input message
signal. After multiplying the message signal with the carrier signal consumers can
improve the level of amplitude and transmitted from the transmitter system to receiver
(Paul, Bruce, & Roberts, 2017). It has been identified that the receiver gets the better
signals if the consumer uses the amplitude modulation technique and reduce the
distortion and noise from the signal. All these steps are used in the amplitude
modulation during data transmission and data is transmitted with the help of the
communication channel.

2. Frequency modulation
The frequency modulation is a part of the modulation process that encodes the
information in the form of the carrier signal by changing the frequency value of the
input signal. Mainly, this process is used for the communication purpose and it
improves the level of frequency at the receiver side (Ryu, et al., 2015). The message
signal that has less frequency range is mixed with the carrier signal that has a large
frequency range and provides a modulated signal with better frequency. Moreover, the
applied signal is combined with the high level frequency which is called as the carrier
wave and the communication channel is used for data transmission. in which the source
produce the information or input signal and passed through the transducer which
provides the signal in the form of electrical waves (Silveri, Tuorila, Thuneberg, &
Paraoanu, 2017). The input signal is multiplied with the carrier signal and passed
through the buffer amplified for improving the frequency of the message signal. At the
receiver side, a demodulator circuit is used in order to convert the modulated signal in
the original form and receiver get better results by using this technique.

Frequency division multiplexing
The frequency division multiplexing is defined as the networking technology
which is used in the communication process. In such kind of process, the numbers of
data signals are combined for simultaneous transmission through a communication
channel. It is observed that the frequency division multiplexing utilize the carrier signal
at the discrete frequency for every data stream and then combine numbers of
modulated signals (Borondo, Morales, Benito, & Losada, 2015). The FDM technology
also allows multiple consumers to send a single physical communication medium which
is also called as the frequency division multiple accesses.
It is observed that the frequency division multiplexing refers as the analogy
multiplexing technology which is utilized for combining the analogy signals. Mainly, the
frequency division multiplexing divides the channel into various kinds of frequency
substance which does not overlap which is one of the best advantages of this technique.
This technology involves the transmitter and receiver for sharing information from one
place to another (Fan, Yu, & Guan, 2015). The major distinguishes frequency division
multiplexing does not require synchronization between the transmitter and receiver
circuit for a proper communication system. A large number of channels and information
can be transferred with the help of frequency division multiplexing technique.
Time division multiplexing
Time division multiplexing is defined as the communication technique which
sends two or more streaming digital information over a common communication
system. It is observed that in the field of time division multiplexing the applied input
signals are categorised into similarly fixed length time slots. After that, all these
messages are transferred over a shared medium and reassembled into their original
shape with the help of de-multiplexing technique (Doriese, et al., 2016). Moreover, the
time slot divination is completely based on the overall system efficiency and it is also
called as the digital circuit switched. Mainly, this kind of multiplexing technology
divides and allocated the particular duration of time to every signal in an alternating
manner.
Such kind of technique is used in the communication system where each signal
uses the same amount of time slot for interconnecting the transmitter and receiver. It

TELECOMMUNICATION 8
has the potential to deliver better flexibility and efficiency by dynamically providing the
time periods to the message signals which require more of the bandwidth (Stern, et al.,
2015). As compared with the FDM technology the time division multiplexing provide
better performance of the communication system and it is widely used in the wireless
networks.
Wave division multiplexing
The wave division multiplexing is defined as the technique that modulates
various kinds of data streams and divides the wavelength into different parts. It also
enables bi-directional communication in the system and multiplication of the signal
ability. It is analysed that the wave division is a part of the FDM technology but
referencing the wavelength of the light which opposes the frequency of the light. Such
kind of technology is commonly used in the optical fibre communication that provides
more effective communication channels to the consumers (Ghahremani, & Kamwa,
2016). In WDM the multiplexer circuit is produced at the transmitter side for
transmitting numbers of the signal at a time and at the receiver side de-multiplexer
system is applied in order to get the original information or signal. However, the
numbers of optical carrier signals at various wavelengths are modulated with the help
of bit stream process and transferred over the similar fibre and it also enhances the
information carrying ability of the fibre. There are many advantages of this technology,
for example, larger transmission capacity, very easy to operate, low cost process, faster
access to Morden channels, and so on.
Question D: local and wide area networks
Functions of the traditional modem used in the WAN
 Fibre optic communication
 Asynchronous transfer mode
 Digital subscriber line
The fibre optic communication is a very common modem which is used in the field
of wireless area network. The main function of this modem is that it can be used for the
long distance communication and a more flexible process for data transmitting
technique. Moreover, the fibre optic communication is more secure as compare to the

TELECOMMUNICATION 9
other modems due to which WAN networks can be used in the long distance
communication purpose (Nakafuji, Rogers, Bestebreur, Rourke, & Zweigle, 2017).
The asynchronous transfer mode is defined as the communication network which is
used in the WAN networks data communication. It can be used to integrate the wireless
communication networks and control both traditional large throughput data and real
time. Mainly, it encodes data or information into small numbers of data packets.
The digital subscriber line is a kind of technique which is used to send digital data
over telephone lines and wireless area networks. It is more flexible and efficient
communication technique which can be used for long distance communication purpose.
The bit rate of the DSL technique is between 256 kilo bit per second and 100 mega bit
per second in the direction of the consumer (Al-Zubi, 2016).
