- TRANSMISSION OF DIGITAL INFORMATION, e.g. TELEGRAPHIC COMMUNICATION
Description
Covers the transmission, routing, and processing of digital information over communication networks and systems. Encompasses telegraphic communication, data transmission protocols, network architectures, error detection and correction, signal modulation and coding, and digital signal processing for communication purposes. Includes technologies for packet switching, circuit switching, and modern data communication standards, but excludes specific applications in broadcast television (H04H), telephony systems (H04M), and radio communication (H04B).
Scope Notes
Application references: Systems specially adapted for transmission of measured values, control or similar signals Arrangements specially adapted for telephonic communication
