Alternating the transmission and reception of information between users Sometimes also referred to as "Ping-Pong" operation This is the basic mode of operation of most TDD and TDMA systems, where transmission and reception are separated in time
A data communications mode which permits transmission in both directions, but in only one direction at a time
(HDX) Transmission in either direction at a time; i e the two communication DTE's cannot transmit simultaneously
A method of communication between two computers (or devices) that allows transmission in only one direction at a time
A communication setup in which transmissions can go in either direction, but in only one direction at a time With half-duplex operation, the entire bandwidth can be used for the transmission In contrast, full-duplex operation must split the bandwidth between the two directions
A communications channel allowing alternating transmission in two directions, but not in both directions simultaneously
a communication channel over which both transmission and reception are possible but only in one direction at a time
A two-way means of transmission, but data can only travel in one direction at a time
Half duplex is a transmission path capable of transmitting signals in both directions, but only in one direction at a time
Data transmission over a circuit capable of transmitting in either direction, but not simultaneously For Ethernet, the CSMA/CD method is a half duplex protocol
Means that communications between two end points can not take place at the same time A short wave radio conversation between two people is half-duplex because the person talking has to press the transmit button to talk, and while the transmit button is pressed he can not hear the other party Telephone conversations are not half duplex because the parties at each end of the connection can talk to one another at the same time See Full Duplex
