Data Transmission Modes

There are several modes of data transmission between sender and receiver.

 1)Simplex Mode 

Data is transmitted from the sender to the receiver only. Getting print outs, watching television, and listening to radio can be given as examples

  2)Half- duplex Mode

 Here, data is transmitted to one direction at a time. This means after data is transmitted from sender / source to the receiver, the receiver can transmit data back to the sender / source. Browsing internet to get information and walkie-talkie used by security forces can be given as examples.

 3) Full Duplex Mode

 Data is transmitted to both sides at the same time is called Full duplex. Telephone conversation is an example for full duplex mode communication.
