Publisher's Synopsis
Designed for readers with a basic knowledge of data processing, this volume contains a general overview of the subject and establishes the conceptual framework which acts as a guide for the development of teleprocessing models. The author then covers the transmission of bits through communication channels and the realization of data circuits. A further section provides techniques for the detection and correction of errors in teleprocessing systems, with emphasis on error detecting and error detecting codes. The text concludes with a set of protocols which are used to ensure error-free virtual links, using physical data circuits.
