Best Answer

Data can be transferred in 3 different modes, these 3 modes are equally popular and used in common everyday situations.

•Simplex

If data can only be transferred in a single direction (one way) it is known as simplex. Television transmission is an example of Simplex transmission, here data can be transferred only to a television but no data can be transferred in the opposite direction.

•Duplex

When data maybe transferred in two directions simultaneously it is known as Duplex, a simple telephone conversation would be an example, while we usually don't talk simultaneously a telephone provides that 'duplex' functionality.

•Half-Duplex

In this mode of transmission as well, data maybe transmitted in both directions, however it cannot be done simultaneously. A Walkie Talkie would be an example of this mode of transmission.

The different modes are implemented based on their requirements, for example in Simplex transmission, two way transmission is not required in television transmission thus Simplex is used.

Data communication modes?

simplex half-duplex duplex


What communications is a transmission media on which data instructions or information travel?

Communication channel


What is different between throughput and transmission rate?

As far as I concern, both of them are the same. Throughput rate: is the amount of data per second that can be transferred. Transmission rate: is also the amount of data that could be transmitted onto the communication link per second.


What is the difference between the communication and transmission?

1.Difference between the communication and transmission.Transmission is a physical movement of information and concern issues like bit polarity, synchronisation, clock etc.Communication means the meaning full exchange of information between two communication media. 2. Transmission is a kind of one way data transfer but communication is a two way interactive process in which all the participants actively share their data. 3. Transmission means the transfer of data from the source to the destination.Communication is the process of sending and receiving data by means of a dta cable that is connected externally. 4. transmission means sending some information or data from 1place to another but only transmit where as at receiving end we can not b sure whether it is received or not. communication means two way communication for eg if u send any info or data that must be received at the receiving end 5. In transmission we just transmit the data to the destination. There's no dialogue between the source and the destionation. In communication there will be dialogue between the source and destination.
