Course Description
This course is an introductory to the evolving network technology. This provides students the basic
understanding and appreciation on data communications and networking: how data traverse from
one end node to the other; the international standards to make data communication happens; the
OSI Reference model which serves as a reference by all network hardware/devices manufacturers;
the TCP/IP as the language of the Internet; the representation of data (voice, text, multimedia, etc) in
the form of electronic signals, the process it go through for successful transmission, and causes of
error; the types of transmission media used for the signal to traverse; the types of interfaces of
devices (DTE/DCE); and the protocols involve for transmitting and retransmitting of data from the
source node to the destination node .
Course Learning Outcomes
CLO1: Appreciate the importance of the course in relation to the goals and objectives of the program,
the College and the University.
CLO2: Describe data communications and network models, topologies, protocols, standards and
architectures.
CLO3: Describe necessary hardware and components used to establish communication between
multiple networks and analyze the effect of various topologies, applications and devices on network
performance.
CLO4: Analyze the data communication model, apply necessary error detection and correction
algorithms and error recovery on data sent over.
Topics / Modules and Intended Learning Outcomes
Topic 1: Class Orientation/Course Introduction
ILO1: Define data Communication and Computer Networking
ILO2: List down the characteristics and components of data communications.
ILO3: Explain the implementation in relation to the communication mode
Topic 2: Network Models
ILO1: List down the building blocks of a network.
ILO2: Define the role of each block.
ILO3: Discuss the architecture and standards to ensure interoperability of devices.
Topic 3: Data and Signals
ILO1: Determine two types of data and two types of signals.
ILO2: Demonstrate the generation and transmission of electronic signals.
ILO3: Classify different transmission.
ILO4: Analyze the causes of signal degradation.
Topic 4: Digital Transmission
ILO1: Distinguish between analog and digital signals and understand their characteristics
ILO2: Demonstrate the ability to discuss the relationship between data and signals as well as
distinguish among and discuss their types, behavior, properties, characterization, and transmission.
ILO3: Able to explain how noise, attenuation, and distortion affect signal traveling through a
transmission medium; discuss the factors affecting data rate as well as the theoretical limits on data
rate over a noiseless and a noisy channel.
ILO4: Demonstrate clear understanding of digital transmission of analog and digital data, encoding
techniques – line encoding (unipolar, polar, and bypolar encoding; e.g. NRZ, RZ, Manchester, PCM,
etc.) - techniques used to convert digital data and analog signals to digital signals for parallel and
serial transmission.
Topic 5: Analog Transmission
ILO1: Show clear and unambiguous understanding of analog transmission of digital and analog data,
methods, and the procedures involved in converting digital data and analog low-pass to band-pass
analog signals (Modulation – ASK, FSK, PSK, AM, FM, PM).
ILO2: Recognize the advantages and limitations of modulation systems.
ILO3: Able to distinguish between and compare the main categories of transmission media as well as
can compare and contrast their subcategories.
Topic 6: Transmission Media
ILO1: Define transmission media.
ILO2: List down common guided/unguided media.
ILO3: Describe the electromagnetic waves and electromagnetic spectrum.
ILO4: Identify the uses of different transmission media.
ILO5: Discuss the transmission properties of common media.
ILO6: Distinguish one media from another.
ILO7: Compare and contrast the three common guided transmission media.
ILO8: Evaluate transmission media advantages and disadvantages.
ILO9: Respond to factors considering in selecting transmission media.
Topic 7: Error Detection
ILO1. Outline the sources and prevention of errors.
ILO2. Compute the error detection value (EDV).
ILO3. Reiterate the importance of modeling in software engineering.
ILO4. State the step-by-step process for deriving EDV using CRC.
ILO5. State the algorithm of Hamming code.
Demonstrate the process of forward error correction.
Topic 8: Error Correction
ILO1. Analyze the three popular models of ARQ.
ILO2. Compare and contrast forward error correction and backward error correction.
ILO3. Illustrate the sliding window protocol.
ILO4. Demonstrate piggybacking approach to efficiently utilize the channel.
ILO5. Describe the GBN and SRQ with sliding window protocol.
ILO6. Justify as when should GBN and SRQ best applied if issues are memory and bandwidth.
