Question English Answer English
Framing problem
start learning
ensures receiver is able to extract the same message from the signal as the transmitter sent
Efficient encoding practices
start learning
minimize number of transmitted bits, redundant information; improves bandwidth utilization, storage requirement
Presentation Format
start learning
agreed format of message exchanged between applications
Data Compression
start learning
improves encoding efficiency by reducing redundancy in transmitted data
Lossless Compression
start learning
original data can be perfectly reconstructed
Lossy Compression
start learning
some information is discarded to achieve higher compression ratios
Presentation formatting
start learning
transformation of network data from the representation used by the application program into a form that is suitable for transmission over a network
Marshalling
start learning
process of transferring and formatting a collection of data structures into an external data representation type appropriate for transmission in a message
Unmarshalling
start learning
process of reformatting the transferred data upon arrival to recreate the original data structures at the destination
Elements of arguemnt marshalling system
start learning
Defines data types which can be transferred, conversion strategy, add tags and stubds
Tags
start learning
Tags in English
any additional information included in a message that helps the receiver decode the message
Stubs
start learning
piece of code that impements argument marhalling
Canonical Intermediate Form conversion strategy
start learning
sending host translates from its internal representation to the external representation before sending data and the receiver translates from this external representation into its local representation when receiving data
Receiver Makes Right conversion strategy
start learning
sender transmit data in its own internal format, receiver is responsible for translating the data from the sender’s format into its own local format
Run Length Encoding (RLE) compression technique
start learning
replace consecutive occurrences of a given symbol with only one copy of the symbol and add counter of how many times that symbol occurs, e. g: AAABBCDDDD → 3A2B1C4D
Differential Plus Code Modulation compression technique
start learning
first output a reference symbol and then, for each symbol in the data, to output the difference between that symbol and the reference symbol(s), e. g: AAABBCDDDD → A0001123333
Dicitonary Based Module compression technique
start learning
build a dictionary (table) of strings that you expect to find in the data and then to replace each of these strings when it appears in the data with the corresponding index to the dictionary
Video Compression (MPEG)
start learning
MPEG takes a sequence of video frames as input and compresses them into three types of frames: I, P and B frames
I frame (intrapicture)
start learning
JPEG compressed version of the corresponding frame in the video source
P frame (predicted picture)
start learning
specifies the differences from the previous I frame
B frames (bidirectional predicted picture)
start learning
gives an interpolation between the previous and subsequent I or P frames
