Radio Waves

Travelling Wave

Defined as superimposed oscillations of an electric and a magnetic field.

Ground Wave

Wave Propagation

Multiplexing

Latency

It is a media access method by which collisions are prevented. It also allows different priorities to be assigned to different stations on the ring.

Token Passing

Demand Priority

Carrier Sense

Collision Detection

It is where the output signal occupies more bandwidth than the original signal.

Speed Spectrum

Time Division

Token Passing

Attenuation

An active hub is an essential requirement that can control access to the network.

Token Passing

Carrier Sense

Multiple Access

Demand Priority

It is currently found on Apple laptops and provides a 10Gbps connection to peripheral devices.

Lightning

Fire Wire

Thunderbolt

InfiniBand

This interface is used due to its high-speed connection that is mostly found in networks that require large amounts of peripheral storage.

Lightning

Fire Wire

Thunderbolt

InfiniBand

It is the ability to add and remove devices to a computer system while the computer is running.

Hot Plugging

De Facto Standard

Composition

Throughput

It is the measurement of the ability of an electronic communications device or system to send and receive information.

Composition

Hardware Interface

Interconnection Wire

It measures the time required for a bit to travel from the source to the destination.

Bits per Second

Propagation Time

Bit Rate

Baud Rate

It involves organizing data in blocks that are sent in a store-and-forward manner without prior establishment of the communication path.

Packet Switching

Circuit Switching

Bit rate

Baud Rate

What is the formula for transmission time?

= Data Packet x Queuing

= Capacity / Distance

Data Packet / Capacity

Distance / Process Delay

It measures the time for data to get to its destination across the network.
