Definition and Category of Communication Network

' network of interconnected m lti-s bscriber comm nication s#stems is called a comm nication network$ ' comm nication network can be categori(ed in man# wa#s ) based on its se& feat res& transmission signals& etc$ %n terms of service implementations& we have the telephone comm nication network& data comm nication network and broadcast television network$ %n terms of network service& we have local network& toll network and international network$ %n terms of basic architect re& we have line network& ring network& star network& mesh network and compo nd network$

Basic Elements of Communication Network

The basic elements of a comm nication network are terminal e* ipment& transmission links& switching e* ipment and the access part$ The terminal equipment forms the origin and end points and incl des some transformation and reverse transformation devices corresponding to so rce and sink$ There are different terminal e* ipments for different comm nication services$ +or e,ample- the terminal e* ipment for telephone services is a telephone set and that for data services is a data terminal$ The transmission link is the connection medi m between the network nodes& and it is the transmission channel for signals$ .esides being a channel& the transmission link incl des some transformation and reverse transformation devices& s ch as open wire transmission s#stem& carrier transmission s#stem& digital microwave transmission s#stem& optical fiber transmission s#stem& satellite transmission s#stem& and others$ 'll of these can be sed to implement comm nication network transmission link$
