Difference between synchronous & asynchronous communication. ram.garg 01-February-2010 02:50:16 PMComments 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. A start bit and a stop bit are added to each data segment for asynchronous communications. For synchronous communication, both the start bit and stop bit ane eliminated, so a faster transmission speed is achieved. With INS-Net, the standard transmission speed of asynchronous communication is 38.4 kbps, while that of synchronous communication is 64 kbps or 128 kbps. Posted by ngnguru_com |
