Computer Network Transmission Mode - Network Help

The document discusses three modes of computer network transmission: simplex, half-duplex, and full-duplex. Simplex mode allows unidirectional transmission from one device to another. Half-duplex allows bidirectional transmission but only one direction at a time. Full-duplex allows both devices to send and receive simultaneously.

Computer Network Transmission Mode


Duplex or Transmission Mode:

Transmission Mode or Duplex means transferring of data between two devices. It is also known as
Communication Mode.

The Transmission Mode is divided into 3 categories –


• Simplex Mode
• Half-duplex Mode
• Full-duplex Mode

Simplex Mode: –

• It is a Unidirectional Communication; the data transmits in one direction only from one device to
another device.
• The sender device that sends data can only but cannot received the data. Other hand the receiver
device that receive only the data but cannot send the data.
• Example: – T.V. and Keyboard.

Advantages of Simplex Mode: –

• The main advantages of Simplex mode are that the full capacity of the transmission medium is
utilized during the transmission, there are no any traffic issues.

Disadvantages of Simplex Mode:

• There are no possibilities of Bio-directional communication. Here two devices cannot


communicate with each other.

Half-duplex Mode:

• It is a Bio-directional transmission but one at a time.


• When the sender in sending the data receiver can only receive, they cannot send at the same time
and vice versa.
• Example: – Walkie-talkie.

Advantages of Half-duplex Mode:

• The main advantages of the Half-duplex mode are that they can utilize the entire bandwidth
during the transmission.

Disadvantages of Half-duplex Mode:

• In Half-duplex mode, when one device sending the data, then another device receiving the data,
then another device waits, they can be some delay at the time.

Full-duplex Mode: –

• It is a Bio-directional communication.
• Both devices sending and receiving data at the same time.
• Example: – Telephone network.

Advantages of Full-duplex mode: –

• No delay in communications both devices can send and receive data at the same time.

Disadvantages of Full-duplex mode: –

• The full capacity is divided by into both directions.

Comparison of Simple, Half-duplex and Full-duplex mode:
