Full-duplex Mode: A type of communication where data transmission can occur in both directions simultaneously. This means that devices can send and receive signals at the same time, similar to a telephone conversation where both parties can talk and listen simultaneously. Full-duplex systems, therefore, double the capacity of a communication channel, as data does not need to be sent in a singular direction at a time, unlike half-duplex systems where communication can only go one way at any given moment. Full-duplex mode is commonly used in various telecommunications and computing scenarios to improve the efficiency of communication channels.
