A technique used by the Internet's Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) as a method of controlling the flow of packets between two computers or network hosts. TCP requires that all transmitted data be acknowledged by the receiving host. Sliding windows is a method by which multiple packets of data ...
Radio communication using a reception technique in which a resultant signal is obtained by combining signals that originate from two or more independent sources that have been modulated with identical information-bearing signals and that may vary in their transmission characteristics at any given ...
The expression of a function by its amplitude and phase at each component frequency, usually as determined by Fourier analysis.
The number of bits, characters, or blocks passing through a data communication system, or portion of that system.
The ratio of the received strength of the desired signal to the received strength of undesired signals.
A field of the packet header that is used by the terminating endpoint to determine if the packets arrive in sequence.
In packet networks, the breaking of large packets into multiple smaller packets (or IP frames) to meet limits on packet length.
The method by which threads, processes or data flows are given access to system resources (e.g. processor time, communications bandwidth).
