Match each term with the correct statement below.
two channels are combined (one for sending data and the other for receiving) to provide the necessary frequency for the higher speeds
physical layer
transmits a secondary copy along with the primary information
transport layer
sends signals to the network or receives signals from the network
network layer
Correct Answer:
Verified
Premises:
Responses:
two channels are combined (one for sending data and the other for receiving) to provide the necessary frequency for the higher speeds
physical layer
transmits a secondary copy along with the primary information
transport layer
sends signals to the network or receives signals from the network
network layer
uses an expanded redundant code to transmit each data bit
orthogonal frequency division multiplexing
can double the amount of data encoded over PSK to 250 Kbps per channel, which produces a 12 Mbps (250 Kbps x 48) data rate
Forward Error Correction
picks the route packets take and handles addressing of packets for delivery
channel bonding
uses a range of frequencies that change during the transmission
frequency hopping spread spectrum
ensures that error-free data is given to the user
direct sequence spread spectrum
sending multiple signals at the same time
quadrature phase shift keying
