  2. Communication channel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Communication_channel

    The radio channel between an amateur radio repeater and an amateur radio operator uses two frequencies often 600 kHz (0.6 MHz) apart. For example, a repeater that transmits on 146.94 MHz typically listens for a ham transmitting on 146.34 MHz. All of these communication channels share the property that they transfer information.

  3. Data communication - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_communication

    Data communication, including data transmission and data reception, is the transfer of data, transmitted and received over a point-to-point or point-to-multipoint communication channel. Examples of such channels are copper wires , optical fibers , wireless communication using radio spectrum , storage media and computer buses .

  4. Computer-mediated communication - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/.../Computer-mediated_communication

    Computer-mediated communication (CMC) is defined as any human communication that occurs through the use of two or more electronic devices. [1] While the term has traditionally referred to those communications that occur via computer-mediated formats (e.g., instant messaging, email, chat rooms, online forums, social network services), it has also been applied to other forms of text-based ...

  5. Telecommunications - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telecommunications

    A telecommunications network is a collection of transmitters, receivers, and communications channels that send messages to one another. Some digital communications networks contain one or more routers that work together to transmit information to the correct user.

  6. Computer network - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_network

    A wide area network (WAN) is a computer network that covers a large geographic area such as a city, country, or spans even intercontinental distances. A WAN uses a communications channel that combines many types of media such as telephone lines, cables, and airwaves.

  7. Channel access method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Channel_access_method

    Bluetooth packet mode communication combines frequency hopping for shared channel access among several private area networks in the same room with CSMA/CA for shared channel access within a network. IEEE 802.11b wireless local area networks (WLANs) are based on FDMA and DS-CDMA for avoiding interference among adjacent WLAN cells or access points.

  8. Bus (computing) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bus_(computing)

    Four PCI Express bus card slots (from top to second from bottom: ×4, ×16, ×1 and ×16), compared to a 32-bit conventional PCI bus card slot (very bottom). In computer architecture, a bus (historically also called a data highway [1] or databus) is a communication system that transfers data between components inside a computer or between computers. [2]

  9. Network media - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_media

    Network media refers to the communication channels used to interconnect nodes on a computer network. Typical examples of network media include copper coaxial cable , copper twisted pair cables and fiber-optic cables used in wired networks, and radio waves used in wireless data communications networks.
