Half-duplex mode: A communication mode where data can be transmitted and received over a single channel, but not simultaneously. It is used in networking and telecommunications to conserve bandwidth and reduce interference but at the cost of slower data transfer speeds. Examples include using half-duplex mode for older modems or for low-bandwidth connections.
