An Asynchronous Communication is where there is 'variable bit rates' at the send and receive ends, in other words the send and receive clock generators are not synchronized as in a Synchronous Communication.

Synchronous communication is direct communication where the communicators are time synchronized. This means that all parties involved in the communication are present at the same time. This includes, but is not limited to, a telephone conversation (not texting), a company board meeting, a chat room event and instant messaging.

Asynchronous communication does not require that all parties involved in the communication to be present at the same time. Some examples are e-mail messages, discussion boards, blogging, and text messaging over cell phones. In distance (specifically online) education asynchronous communication is the major (sometimes the only) method of communication. Usually, we use different discussion boards in each class with each having its own purpose.

Think of it like a postal service: Synchronous transmission is like knowing that you're getting 1 piece of mail, every day, without fail. Asynchronous transmission, on the other hand, is when you have no idea when you're getting mail. It just comes as it's available.

What transmission is data sent in a constant stream of frames?

synchronous transmission. In a asynchronous transmission, data is sent as individual data bytes


What the different between synchronous and asynchronous?

In asynchronous transmission , the receiver and the transmitter each use their own clock signals so its not possible to know when a word starts and stops. while in synchronous , the receiver and the transmission have common clock signals.


What is the definition for Asynchronous communication?

In telecommunications, asynchronous communication is transmission of data, generally without the use of an external clock signal, where data can be transmitted intermittently rather than in a steady stream


What are the similarities and differences between synchronous and asynchronous transmission modes?

Asynchronous transmission refers to the case when the sending initiate transmission of byte at any instant of time. In asynchronous transmission only one byte is sent at a time and there is no time relation between consecutive bits. This transmission is also referred to as start-stop transmission.This is achieved by providing two extra bits, a start bit at the beginning and a stop bit at the end of a byte. The start bit always "0" and is prefixed to each byte. The stop bit is always "1" and also suffixed to each byte usually 1,1.5 or 2 bits.ANSWERED BY= SATISH KUMAR (AKASH VERMA) [LUCKNOW UNIVERSITY LUCKNOW]


How use start and stop bit in asynchronous transmission?

Register two times the async input. Use it in your sync system


Why are asynchronous protocols inherently slow?

They handle each character in a bit stream independently, They demarcate characters in transmission with start and stop bits, They apply variable-length gaps between characters in a transmission.
