<p>In <a href="Telecommunications" title="Telecommunications">telecommunications</a>, <b>node-to-node data transfer</b><sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> is the movement of data from one <a href="Node_(networking)" title="Node (networking)">node</a> of a <a href="Telecommunications_network" title="Telecommunications network">network</a> to the next. In the <a href="OSI_model" title="OSI model">OSI model</a> it is handled by the lowest two layers, the <a href="Data_link_layer" title="Data link layer">data link layer</a> and the <a href="Physical_layer" title="Physical layer">physical layer</a>.
</p><p>In most communication systems, the transmitting point applies <a href="Source_coding" class="mw-redirect" title="Source coding">source coding</a>,<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> followed by <a href="Channel_coding" class="mw-redirect" title="Channel coding">channel coding</a>, and lastly, <a href="Line_coding" class="mw-redirect" title="Line coding">line coding</a>. This produces the <a href="Baseband" title="Baseband">baseband</a> signal. The presence of filters may perform <a href="Pulse_shaping" title="Pulse shaping">pulse shaping</a>. Some systems then use <a href="Modulation" class="mw-redirect" title="Modulation">modulation</a> to multiplex many baseband signals into a <a href="Broadband" title="Broadband">broadband</a> signal. The receiver un-does these transformations in reverse order: demodulation, trellis decoding, error detection and correction, decompression.
</p><p>Some communication systems omit one or more of these steps, or use techniques that combine several of these steps together. For example, a <a href="Morse_code" title="Morse code">Morse code</a> transmitter combines source coding, channel coding, and line coding into one step, typically followed by an <a href="Amplitude_modulation" title="Amplitude modulation">amplitude modulation</a> step. <a href="Barcode" title="Barcode">Barcodes</a>, on the other hand, add a checksum digit during channel coding, then translate each digit into a barcode symbol during line coding, omitting modulation.

<p>Source coding is the elimination of redundancy to make efficient use of storage space and/or transmission channels.

<p>In <a href="Digital_data" title="Digital data">digital</a> <a href="Telecommunications" title="Telecommunications">telecommunications</a>, <b>channel coding</b><sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> is a pre-transmission mapping applied to a <a href="Digital_signal_(signal_processing)" title="Digital signal (signal processing)">digital signal</a> or data file, usually designed to make error-correction (or at least <a href="Error-detecting_code" class="mw-redirect" title="Error-detecting code">error detection</a>) possible.
</p><p>Error correction is implemented by using more <a href="Numerical_digit" title="Numerical digit">digits</a> (<a href="Bit" title="Bit">bits</a> in cases of binary channel) than the number strictly necessary for the samples and having the receiver compute the most likely valid message that could have resulted in the received one.

<dl><dd><i>See main article <a href="Line_code" title="Line code">Line code</a></i></dd></dl>
<p><b>Line coding</b> consists of representing the <a href="Digital_signal_(electronics)" class="mw-redirect" title="Digital signal (electronics)">digital signal</a> to be transported, by an amplitude- and time-discrete signal, that is optimally tuned for the specific properties of the physical channel (and of the receiving equipment). The <a href="Waveform" title="Waveform">waveform</a> pattern of voltage or current used to represent the 1s and 0s of a digital signal on a transmission link is called <i><b>line encoding</b></i>.
After line coding, the signal can directly be put on a transmission line, in the form of variations of the current. The common types of line encoding are <a href="Unipolar_encoding" title="Unipolar encoding">unipolar</a>, <a href="Polar_encoding" class="mw-redirect" title="Polar encoding">polar</a>, <a href="Bipolar_encoding" title="Bipolar encoding">bipolar</a> and <a href="Manchester_encoding" class="mw-redirect" title="Manchester encoding">Manchester encoding</a>.
</p><p>Line coding should make it possible for the receiver to synchronise itself to the <a href="Phase_(waves)" title="Phase (waves)">phase</a> of the received signal. It is also preferred for the line code to have a structure that will enable error detection.

<p><b>Modulation</b> is the process of varying a <i><a href="Carrier_signal" class="mw-redirect" title="Carrier signal">carrier signal</a></i>, typically a <a href="Sine_wave" title="Sine wave">sine wave</a> to use that signal to convey <a href="Information" title="Information">information</a>.

</p><p>In <a href="Digital_data" title="Digital data">digital</a> modulation, the changes in the signal are chosen from a fixed list (the <b>modulation alphabet</b>) each entry of which conveys a different possible piece of information (a symbol).
