  2. Duplex (telecommunications) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duplex_(telecommunications)

    In a half-duplex or semiduplex system, both parties can communicate with each other, but not simultaneously; the communication is one direction at a time. An example of a half-duplex device is a walkie-talkie, a two-way radio that has a push-to-talk button. When the local user wants to speak to the remote person, they push this button, which ...

  3. Two-way radio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two-way_radio

    Two-way radios usually use a half-duplex communication channel, which permits two-way communication, albeit with the limitation that only one user can transmit at a time. (This is in contrast to simplex communication , in which transmission can only be sent in one direction, and full-duplex, which allows transmission in both directions ...

  4. Transmission medium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transmission_medium

    A signal transmission may be simplex, half-duplex, or full-duplex. In simplex transmission, signals are transmitted in only one direction; one station is a transmitter and the other is the receiver. In the half-duplex operation, both stations may transmit, but only one at a time. In full-duplex operation, both stations may transmit simultaneously.

  5. Telecommunication circuit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telecommunication_circuit

    In operational terms, a telecommunication circuit may be capable of transmitting information in only one direction (simplex circuit), or it may be bi-directional (duplex circuit). Bi-directional circuits may support half- duplex operation , when only one end of the channel transmits at any one time, or they may support full-duplex operation ...

  6. Radio network - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio_network

    There are two types of radio network currently in use around the world: the one-to-many (simplex communication) broadcast network commonly used for public information and mass-media entertainment, and the two-way radio (duplex communication) type used more commonly for public safety and public services such as police, fire, taxicabs, and delivery services.

  7. Universal asynchronous receiver-transmitter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_asynchronous...

    simplex (in one direction only, with no provision for the receiving device to send information back to the transmitting device) full duplex (both devices send and receive at the same time) half duplex (devices take turns transmitting and receiving) For UART to work the following settings need to be the same on both the transmitting and ...

  8. Trunked radio system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trunked_radio_system

    A trunked radio system is a two-way radio system that uses a control channel to automatically assign frequency channels to groups of user radios. In a traditional half-duplex land mobile radio system a group of users (a talkgroup) with mobile and portable two-way radios communicate over a single shared radio channel, with one user at a time ...

  9. Channel access method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Channel_access_method

    A duplexing communication system can be either half-duplex or full duplex. In a half-duplex system, communication only works in one direction at a time. A walkie-talkie is an example of a half-duplex system because both users can communicate with one another, but not at the same time, someone has to finish transmitting before the next person ...
