• Encoding and signaling are the main functions of layer one of the OSI reference model, physical layer. • At the data-link layer, frames are in the form of bits (zeros and ones), but when they get down to the physical layer, they get turned into other formats that the physical layer understands ; • in this case they are transformed into signals, because they need to be carried through cables and devices, which reside at the same layer, hence encoding and signaling Encoding •Coding is the process of embedding clocks into a given data stream and producing a signal that can be transmitted over a selected medium. •Transmitter is responsible for "encoding" i.e. inserting clocks into data according to a selected coding scheme •Receiver is responsible for "decoding" i.e. separating clocks and data from the incoming embedded stream. •Systems that use coding are synchronous systems . •We must encode data into signals to send them from one place to another. •There are 4 possible encoding techniques that can be used on the data: Digital-to-digital, Digital-to-Analog, Analog-to-analog, Analog-to- digital. Digital-to-Digital Encoding
•The binary signals created by your computer (DTE)
are translated into a sequence of voltage pulses that can be sent through the transmission medium. •Binary signals have two basic parameters: amplitude and duration. •As the number of bits sent per unit of time increases, the bit duration decreases. LINE ENCODING SCHEMES • Digital signal is denoted by discreet signal, which represents digital data. • There are three types of line coding schemes available: UNIPOLAR All signal levels are on one side of the time axis, either above or below. Non Return to Zero (NRZ) • Unipolar scheme was deisgned as a NRZ scheme. • NRZ Codes has 1 for High voltage level and 0 for Low voltage level. • The main behavior of NRZ codes is that the voltage level remains constant during bit interval. The signal does not return to zero at the middle of the bit • The end or start of a bit will not be indicated and it will maintain the same voltage state, if the value of the previous bit and the value of the present bit are same. NRZ - L NRZ–LEVEL There is a change in the polarity of the signal, only when the incoming signal changes from 1 to 0 or from 0 to 1. It is the same as NRZ, however, the first bit of the input signal should have a change of polarity. For NRZ-L(NRZ-Level), the level of the voltage determines the value of the bit, typically binary 1 maps to logic-level high, and binary 0 maps to logic-level low NRZ - I NRZ–INVERTEDNRZ–INVERTED • If a 1 occurs at the incoming signal, then there occurs a transition at the beginning of the bit interval. For a 0 at the incoming signal, there is no transition at the beginning of the bit interval. • NRZ codes has a disadvantage that the synchronization of the transmitter clock with the receiver clock gets completely disturbed, when there is a string of 1s and 0s. Hence, a separate clock line needs to be provided. • for NRZ-I(NRZ-Invert), two-level signal has a transition at a boundary if the next bit that we are going to transmit is a logical 1, and does not have a transition if the next bit that we are going to transmit is a logical 0. • Biphase (Manchester and Differential Manchester ) – Manchester encoding is somewhat combination of the RZ (transition at the middle of the bit) and NRZ-L schemes. The duration of the bit is divided into two halves. • The voltage remains at one level during the first half and moves to the other level in the second half. The transition at the middle of the bit provides synchronization • Differential Manchester is somewhat combination of the RZ and NRZ-I schemes. There is always a transition at the middle of the bit but the bit values are determined at the beginning of the bit. If the next bit is 0, there is a transition, if the next bit is 1, there is no transition. • Note – 1. The logic we are using here to represent data using Manchester is that for bit 1 there is transition form -V to +V volts in the middle of the bit and for bit 0 there is transition from +V to -V volts in the middle of the bit.
