Unit 7: Choosing Communication Channels
UNIT 7: CHOOSING COMMUNICATION CHANNELS Unit 7 highlights the importance of selecting an appropriate channel mix for a communication response and describes five categories of communication channels: mass media, mid media, print media, social and digital media and interpersonal communication (IPC). For each of these channels, advantages and disadvantages have been listed, as well as situations in which different channels may be used. Although this Unit has attempted to differentiate the channels and their uses for simplicity, there is recognition that channels frequently overlap and may be effective for achieving similar objectives. This is why the match between channel, audience and communication objective is important. This unit provides some tools to help assess available and functioning channels during an emergency, as well as those that are more appropriate for reaching specific audience segments. Once you have completed this unit, you will have the following tools to support the development of your SBCC response: • Worksheet 7.1: Assessing Available Communication Channels • Worksheet 7.2: Matching Communication Channels to Primary and Influencing Audiences What Is a Communication Channel? A communication channel is a medium or method used to deliver a message to the intended audience. A variety of communication channels exist, and examples include: • Mass media such as television, radio (including community radio) and newspapers • Mid media activities, also known as traditional or folk media such as participatory theater, public talks, announcements through megaphones and community-based surveillance • Print media, such as posters, flyers and leaflets • Social and digital media such as mobile phones, applications and social media • IPC, such as door-to-door visits, phone lines and discussion groups Different channels are appropriate for different audiences, and the choice of channel will depend on the audience being targeted, the messages being delivered and the context of the emergency. -
Modeling and Simulation of an Asynchronous Digital Subscriber Line Transceiver Data Transmission Subsystem
Modeling and Simulation of an Asynchronous Digital Subscriber Line Transceiver Data Transmission Subsystem Elmustafa Erwa ABSTRACT Recently, there has been an increase in demand for digital services provided over the public telephone line network. Asymmetric digital subscriber line (ADSL) transmit high bit rate data in the forward direction to the subscriber, and lower bit rate data in the reverse direction to the central office, both on a single copper telephone loop. I implemented a Synchronous Dataflow (SDF) model for an ADSL transceiver’s data transmission subsystem in LabVIEW. My implementation enables designers to simulate and optimize different ADSL transceiver designs. The overall implementation is compliant with the European Telecommunications Standards Institute’s ADSL specification. 1. INTRODUCTION With the emergence of the Internet as the cornerstone of communications in this age, the demand for high speed Internet access has only been increasing. Asymmetric digital subscriber lines (ADSL) is one of the technologies that provide high-speed Internet access in residences and offices [1]. It facilitates the use of normal telephone services, Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN), and high-speed data transmission simultaneously. Hence, bandwidth-demanding technologies, such as video-conferencing and video-on-demand, are enabled over ordinary telephone lines. ADSL standards use discrete multi-tone (DMT) modulation [2]. DMT divides the effectively bandlimited communication channel into a larger number of orthogonal narrowband subchannels. This allows for maximizing the transmitted bit rate and adapting to changing line conditions. Designing ADSL systems is inherently complex. However, advances in the digital signal processor (DSP) technology allowed programmable DSP based solutions to replace application-specific integrated circuit based implementations. -
2 the Wireless Channel
CHAPTER 2 The wireless channel A good understanding of the wireless channel, its key physical parameters and the modeling issues, lays the foundation for the rest of the book. This is the goal of this chapter. A defining characteristic of the mobile wireless channel is the variations of the channel strength over time and over frequency. The variations can be roughly divided into two types (Figure 2.1): • Large-scale fading, due to path loss of signal as a function of distance and shadowing by large objects such as buildings and hills. This occurs as the mobile moves through a distance of the order of the cell size, and is typically frequency independent. • Small-scale fading, due to the constructive and destructive interference of the multiple signal paths between the transmitter and receiver. This occurs at the spatialscaleoftheorderofthecarrierwavelength,andisfrequencydependent. We will talk about both types of fading in this chapter, but with more emphasis on the latter. Large-scale fading is more relevant to issues such as cell-site planning. Small-scale multipath fading is more relevant to the design of reliable and efficient communication systems – the focus of this book. We start with the physical modeling of the wireless channel in terms of elec- tromagnetic waves. We then derive an input/output linear time-varying model for the channel, and define some important physical parameters. Finally, we introduce a few statistical models of the channel variation over time and over frequency. 2.1 Physical modeling for wireless channels Wireless channels operate through electromagnetic radiation from the trans- mitter to the receiver. -
Designing Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line with Discrete Multitone Modulator
ISSN (Online) 2321-2004 IJIREEICE ISSN (Print) 2321-5526 International Journal of Innovative Research in Electrical, Electronics, Instrumentation and Control Engineering Vol. 7, Issue 11, November 2019 Designing Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line with Discrete Multitone Modulator Attiq Ul Rehman1, Maninder Singh2 M. Tech., Student, ECE Department, Haryana Engineering College, Jagadhri, Haryana, India1 Assistant Professor, ECE Department, Haryana Engineering College, Jagadhri, Haryana, India2 Abstract: The objective of Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) is to propagate signal from the transmitter to the receiver over telephone lines. In communication industry Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line (ADSL) is widely used because it can handle both phone services and internet access services at same time. As the communication industry develops, its main concern is to maximize the user handling capacity of communication systems. For this purpose, ADSL uses Discrete Multitone (DMT) modulator with QAM bank. But as the number of users increases the system complexity and interference also increases. The communication channel is not free from the effects of channel impairments such as noise, interference and fading. These channel impairments caused signal distortion and Signal to Ratio (SNR) degradation. One method that can be implemented to overcome this problem is by introducing channel coding. Channel encoding is applied by adding redundant bits to the transmitted data. The redundant bits increase raw data used in the link and therefore, increase the bandwidth requirement. So, if noise or fading occurred in the channel, some data may still be recovered at the receiver. While at the receiver, channel decoding is used to detect or correct errors that are introduced to the channel. -

Communications Channels (Based on Blahut's Digital Transmission Of
Communications Channels (Based on Blahut’s Digital Transmission of Information) The transfer of messages between individuals or between cells is an activity that is fundamental to all forms of life, and in biological systems, delicate mechanisms have evolved to support this message transfer. Each of these messages traverses an environment capable of producing various kinds of distortion in the message, but the message must be understood despite this distortion. Yet, the method of message transmission must not be so complex as to unduly exhaust the resources of the transmitter or the receiver. Man-made communication systems also transfer data through a noisy environment. This environment is called a communication channel. A very important channel is the one in which a message is represented by an electromagnetic wave that is sent to a receiver, where it appears contaminated by noise. The transmitted messages must be protected against distortion and noise in the channel. The first such communication systems protected their messages from the environment by the simple expedient of transmitting high power. Later, message design techniques were introduced that led to the development of far more sophisticated communication systems. Modern message design is the art of piecing together a number of waveform ideas to meet a set of requirements: generally, to transmit as many bits as is practical within the available power and bandwidth. It is by the performance at low transmitted power that one judges the quality of a digital communication system. The purpose of this course is to develop in a rigorous mathematical setting the modem waveform techniques for the digital transmission of information.
