2. Capacity of Communication Media

  • The capacity of a channel is measured by bandwidth and data transfer rate.
  • Bandwidth of a channel is the range of frequencies available for transmission of data through that channel.
  • Higher bandwidth usually means higher data transfer rate.

3. Types of Data Communication

  • Data communication is broadly classified into three types: simplex, half-duplex, and full-duplex.
  • Simplex communication is one-way communication.
  • Half-duplex communication is two-way communication, but not at the same time.
