There are so many contexts in which data communication types can be described. Since you haven't mentioned about the context, I will explaining it in the terms of computer terminologies. There are three basic types of data communications i.e. Simplex, duplex and half duplex. In simplex data communication type, the flow of communication is unidirectional i.e data flows only in one direction such as television, radio etc. In duplex method, data flows in both directions simultaneously such as in the telephone system. In half duplex, data flows in both directions but not simultaneously. One end transfers the information and wait until the message is received to the other terminal. These three data communication types serve as basic foundations of computer network communication infrastructure.
