Chapter Modules • Types of error • Understanding electromagnetic interference • Minimizing electromagnetic interference • Effect of electromagnetic field on security • Error checking technique: VRC • Error checking technique: LRC • Error checking technique: CRC • Points of error detection in communication

  5. Module Causes and Types of Error

  6. Causes Of Error • Interference • Largely due to external electromagnetic field • Corrupts the information carried by the electromagnetic signals • Temperature • Affects the transmission quality and capability of the medium • For instance, temperature variations influence the conductivity of the communication medium

  7. Error Types • The three major types of errors are as follows: • Attenuation • Distortion • Noise • The term Noise is frequently encountered in communication • It reflects the cumulative effect of interference on the signal

  8. Attenuation • Refers to the weakening of the signal with distance • Signals must be of sufficient strength at the receiving point to overcome noise • Attenuation is greater at higher frequencies • Line drivers and boosters are often used to minimize the effect of attenuation

  9. Distortion • Distortion is a general term used to describe the distortion of a signal • A special type of distortion is know as delayed distortion • It affects signals of different frequencies and results in them arriving at the destination at different times • The above causes timing related problems in data transmission

  10. Distortion Due to Noise Signal affected by noise. Origins Destination Noise represents the cumulative effect of a wide variety of factors that have an influence on the signal transmitted.

  11. Noise Factors • Interference and crosstalk occur due to electromagnetic interference • Thermal noise, for instance, is proportional to the temperature and bandwidth • Impulse noise that is induced as a result of a surge in signal strength • Encountered immediately after the power is switched on a communication line • Bulb fusing phenomenon is a practical example

  12. Expression of the Quality of a Line • Signal to noise ratio

  13. Digital Advantage • Although the signal changes due to various factors discussed, the original digital pattern can be extracted

  15. Module Electro-Magnetic Interference (EMI)

  16. Understanding Interference Electric Bulb 1 Wall Electrical Outlet 1.Wired cylinder connected to a bulb 2. Wired cylinder connected to an electrical outlet 2

  17. Interference Observation • Bulb lights up as the smaller cylinder is lowered into the big cylinder • The important point to note is that the cylinders do not touch one another • This means that the electricity in one cylinder generates electricity in the other cylinder • Signifies the very definition of interference

  18. Role of Electromagnetic Field in Interference • Electricity in the larger cylinder creates an electromagnetic field • Electromagnetic field in turn creates electricity in the smaller cylinder • The bulb thus lights up as a result indicating induced electricity by an adjacent carrier of electricity

  19. Effect of Interference on Communication Signals Creates Electricity Electro- Magnetic Field Cable 1 Cable 2 Creates Electricity

  21. Module Minimizing Electromagnetic Interference

  22. Major Source of Interference in Practice • Major sources of interference • Cables adjacent to one another • Misbehaving electrical equipment • Minimizing interference at the Medium • Twisting and shielding of cables • Minimizing interference from an electronic/electrical device • FCC compliance and certification is often required of devices

  23. Twisting of Wires to Minimize Interference Twisting Counterbalance • Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) Cat 5 : Higher quality Cat 2 and 3: Lower quality • Shielded Twisted Pair (STP)

  24. Twisting of Wires • The higher the number of twists per foot, the better the quality of the twisted pair wires • Category 5e wires are of better quality compared to Category 5 wires

  25. The Shielding of Cables Minimize emission of from the cable Minimize outside interference Shield the cable from outside interference (Conductive Material).

  26. Minimizing the Interference from Equipment • Ensure that the electrical and electronic equipment are FCC certified • FCC certification implies that the equipment is in compliance with FCC regulations concerning the emission of the electromagnetic field

  27. FCC Regulations Requirement and Certification • Requires that the device be housed in a proper casing • Example of Certification • Class B certification for microcomputers for instance

  28. Examples of FCC Regulated Equipment • Computers and communication devices • Electrical equipment such as fans etc.

  29. In Summary • Better the resistance to electromagnetic field, better the quality of the medium in terms of carrying the information at higher speeds over a longer distance

  30. Fiber Optic Advantage • Does not generate electromagnetic field • No electromagnetic interference • Signal loss minimized • Data travels faster and further • Transmission of data is secure • Fiber strands can be strung closely together • Large number of transmission lines in a fiber optic cable of reasonable diameter

  32. Module Securing Transmission

  33. Data Eavesdropping Listening Device (Eavesdropping device) Ground Cable Electro- Magnetic Wave (Below ground cable)

  34. Data Eavesdropping • It is based on monitoring the surrounding electromagnetic field to tap the data being transmitted over the cable • A listening device need not directly touch the cable • For example, the data can be monitored above ground and by devices that are implanted in a building as well

  35. Securing Electronically Transmitted Data • Encryption • Information to be transmitted is encrypted at the origin and decrypted at the destination • Encryption has been pushed to the forefront following the extensive use of the Internet

  36. Some Encryption Details • Encrypted data is unintelligible • May resemble a binary file • Encrypted data will only make sense when it is decrypted with a key • Keys are used both for the encryption and decryption of information • Public key • Private key

  37. Role of Public and Private Keys in Encryption Private Key Public Key Sender Receiver A B Example of a key is A10012A.

  38. Degrees of Sophistication of Encryption • Level of sophistication • Expressed in bits • A 32 bit encryption algorithm is less sophisticated compared to the 64 bit algorithm • At higher bit lengths, it may take hundred of years to decode the information using a supercomputer • 128 bit encryption is the most sophisticated encryption

  39. Encryption Applications • PGP (Pretty Good Privacy) • PointSec

  40. Enhancing the Security • Use a secure transmission protocol • Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) • PPTP is used for transmitting information over the Internet • VPNs are created based on the PPTP Encryption/Tunneling protocol • IPSec

  41. End of Module

  42. Module Error Checking Technique: VRC (Vertical Redundancy Code)

  43. Major Error Correction Techniques • Vertical Redundancy Checking (VRC) • Also known simply as parity checking • Longitudinal Redundancy Checking (LRC) • Similar in principle to VRC • Operates on a block of data • Cyclic Redundancy Checking (CRC) • Sophisticated error checking procedure • Performed on a block of data • Used extensively

  44. Vertical Redundancy Checking (VRC) • Two implementations of VRC • Odd • Even

  45. Odd Parity Checking • Add a parity bit • Either a one or a zero is added • Total number of ones adds an odd number • Example • Before parity 0110100 • After parity 01101000 Parity bit

  46. Even Parity Checking • Even • The total number of ones should add up to an even number • Example • Before parity 0101010 • After parity 01010101 Parity bit

  47. Error Detection Capability of VRC • Errors can still escape detection • When two bits change value in which case VRC becomes ineffective • Even parity example • 11010111 Before transmission • 10000111 After transmission • Parity count remains the same • But, the data has changed as shown by the colored digits

  48. Probability of Error Not Being by VRC • Probability is indeed very low • Assumption that the probability of a single digit changing value is .0001 • Probability of two digits changing is • P1 x P1 • .0001 X .0001 = .000000001
