What Is Mode Of Communication? Is It The Same With Forms Of Communication?

The modes in communication are not alike forms of communication. There are three modes of communication.

1. Simplex Mode:- In this mode of communication, only one way communication is possible. Example is radio and television broadcasting. In this mode there is just one communication channel. so, we can receive data on that channel but could not be able to transmit on same channel.

2. Duplex:-
Half-Duplex: In this mode of communication, two-way communication is possible but one at a time. If there is a location A and B so we can send data from A to B or from B to A but one at a time. Example is walkie-talkie or Push-to-Talk. In this mode there is also a single communication channel but it can be used in both direction for transmission.

3.Full-Duplex: In this mode of communication, two-way communication is possible in both directions simultaneously . It means data can be sent from A to B and from B to A at same time. Example is Telephone/Mobile Communication. We can listen and talk at same time on telephone. In this mode there are two communication channels one for each direction of transmission.

I'm studying English Language and the modes are speaking, writing, sign language. We study more in depth, quite obviously... However, they're the three main modes.

The question requires further qualification for a useful answer.

In, what could be called socio-technological theory, Drs. Slack and Wise (of MTU and Arizona State) suggest three modes: Oral/Aural, Print/Written, and Electronic/Digital. These are tied to the societies and, more importantly, to the technology that society uses.

These modes, however, are complex and warrant research outside of the scope of his site; a search of "slack modes communication" should provide an adequate starting set.

In simplex mode direction of communication is unidirectional.

In half duplex mode direction of communication is two directional but at a one time.

In full duplex mode commiuncation is two directional and ones simultaneously.
