Courses and textbooks in the field of data transmission typically deal with the following OSI<br />

model protocol layers and topics:<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

Layer 1, the physical layer:<br />

o Channel coding including<br />

• Digital modulation schemes<br />

• Line coding schemes<br />

• Forward error correction (FEC) codes<br />

o Bit synchronization<br />

o Multiplexing<br />

o Equalization<br />

o Channel models<br />

Layer 2, the data link layer:<br />

o Channel access schemes, media access control (MAC)<br />

o Packet mode communication and Frame synchronization<br />

o Error detection and automatic repeat request (ARQ)<br />

o Flow control<br />

Layer 6, the presentation layer:<br />

o Source coding (digitization and data compression), and information theory.<br />

o Cryptography (may occur at any layer)
