How is the info tied to outcomes?Are there any patterns in the info?What info is relevant to the problem?How does this info effect the system?What is the best way to use the info?How can we add more value to the info?

“Data” and “information” are interchangeableBut “data” will be often preferredLet’s focus on “data” vs. “signal”
From now on

Analog data vs. digital data Analog data – data has continuous values,
e.g. sound, image,… Depending on storage format: LP, VHS magnetic tape Natural phenomenon
Digital data – data has discrete values e.g. text, integers,… Depending on storage/device: DVD, digital camera Most computing devices

Image as digital data an artifact, usually two-dimensional, that
has a similar appearance to some subject a pixel (picture element) is the smallest
piece of information in an image A pixel is one bit long in black and white A pixel requires much longer bits in color
systems E.g. red, green, and blue

Data vs. signal Digital data vs. analog data Digital signal vs. analog signal Data are symbols like numbers that carry info.
while a signal refers to physical representation of data, electrically or electromagnetically
![Page 15: Info and comm : terminology](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062315/568164d4550346895dd7098d/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
signal A signal is a time-varying value (electric or
electromagnetic representation) or event that conveys information from a transmitter to a receiver

analog signal Analog signal changes over time and takes an
infinite number of values

Analog signal A continuous function of time and location An analog signal can be represented by a sum of
periodic signals within a relatively small range Why?
![Page 19: Info and comm : terminology](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062315/568164d4550346895dd7098d/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Signal 101 function of time and location parameters of periodic signals:
period T, frequency f=1/T, amplitude A, phase shift E.g., sinewave is expressed as
s(t) = At sin(2 ft t + t)
Any signal can be represented by a sum of periodic signals

Analog signal is the winner Analog signal occupies less frequency spectrum High frequency component suffers from high
attenuation
In data domain, digital is the winner

service the provision of functions within a systems
environment a mechanism to enable access to one or more
capabilities, where the access is provided using a prescribed interface and is exercised with constraints and policies as specified by the service description
a network service is an application running at the network application layer and above, that provides functionalities like storage, manipulation, presentation, communication
A service provider is an entity that provides services to other entities. ISP, NO, CP, …

Also called wireless internet service provider (ISP) Mobile virtual network operator (MVNO)
Content provider (CP) In-house vs. third party
Equipment vendor Also called Manufacturer
CATV: System operator (SO), network operator (NO), program provider (PP), MSO (multiple SO)

convergence Convergence (telecommunications): the
combination of multiple services through lines of telecommunication from a single provider Triple play service Quadruple play service
Technological convergence: a trend where some technologies having distinct functionalities evolve to technologies that overlap E. g. Mobile phones are another good example, in
that they increasingly incorporate digital cameras, mp3 players, camcorders, voice recorders, and other devices.
More heterogeneous case?
