Which one of the following mode is called a two-way simultaneous, communication between two stations

Which one of the following mode is called a two-way simultaneous, communication between two stations Correct Answer Full duplex (FDX)

The correct answer is Full duplex (FDX).

Key PointsFull Duplex:

  • In Full-duplex mode, both stations can transmit and receive at the same time.
  • The channel capacity is shared by both communicating devices at all times.
  • Example: Mobile phones

Additional Information

Simplex:

  • In Simplex, communication is unidirectional. Only one of the devices sends the data and the other one only receives the data.
  • The channel capacity is used by only one device all the time.
  • Example: A CPU sends data while a monitor only receives data.

Half Duplex:

  • In half-duplex both the stations can transmit as well as receive but not at the same time. When one device is sending others can only receive and vice-versa
  • The channel capacity is shared by both the devices but at a time only once the device uses the full capacity.
  • Example: A walkie-talkie
