  2. Shannon–Weaver model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shannon–Weaver_model

    In the case of a landline phone call, the source is the person calling, the transmitter is their telephone, the channel is the wire, the receiver is another telephone and the destination is the person using the second telephone. [10] [2] [5] To apply this model accurately to real-life cases, some of the components may have to be repeated. For ...

    The earliest end-to-end analog telephone networks to be modified and upgraded to transmission networks with Digital Signal 1 (DS1/T1) carrier systems date back to the early 1960s. They were designed to support the basic 3 kHz voice channel by sampling the bandwidth-limited analog voice signal and encoding using pulse-code modulation (PCM).

  4. Models of communication - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Models_of_communication

    The Shannon–Weaver model was initially formulated in analogy to how telephone calls work but is intended as a general model of all forms of communication. In the case of a landline phone call, the person calling is the source and their telephone is the transmitter translating the message into an electric signal. The wire acts as the channel.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queueing_theory

    Queueing theory is the mathematical study of waiting lines, or queues. [1] A queueing model is constructed so that queue lengths and waiting time can be predicted. [ 1 ] Queueing theory is generally considered a branch of operations research because the results are often used when making business decisions about the resources needed to provide ...

  9. Signaling (telecommunications) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Signaling_(telecommunications)

    In the public switched telephone network (PSTN), in-band signaling is the exchange of call control information within the same physical channel, or within the same frequency band, that the message (the callers' voice) is using. An example is dual-tone multi-frequency signaling (DTMF), which is used on most telephone lines to customer premises.
