different between TRANSMISSION AND COMMUNICATION
Let us now understand the
difference between transmission and communication. Transmission means physical
movement of information from one point to another. Communication means
meaningful exchange of information between the communicating devices.
Example
Two persons, one knowing
English language only and the other knowing French language only cannot
communicate with each other.
Here transmission is taking
place, but communication is not there. Therefore, for communication, we need
much more than the transmission. For communication, we must have the same
language, i.e. Data codes should be understood both by transmitter and the
receiver. Moreover, receiver should be in a position to receive, i.e. Timing is
also very important.
We have two types of
communication :
(1)
Synchronous
Communication.
(2)
Asynchronous
Communication.
Synchronous
Communication
In Synchronous communication the exchange of
information is in a well disciplined manner, e.g. if A want to send some
information to B, it can do so only when B permits it to send. Similarly,
vice-versa is true. There is complete synchronisation of dialogues, i.e. each
message of the dialogue is either a command or a response. Physical
transmission of data may be in synchronous or asynchronous mode already decided
between A and B.
Asynchronous
Communication
In Asynchronous communication the exchange of
information is in less disciplined manner, e.g. A and B can send messages
whenever they wish to do so. Physical transmission of data may be in
synchronous / asynchronous mode.
Thus, we see that Simplex Transmission is one way
communication (OW), Half Duplex Transmission is two way Alternate Communication
(TWA), and Full Duplex Transmission is two way Simultaneously Communication
(TWS).
