Synchronous: The events that occur at the same time or in a predictable and consistent time sequence. In the context of data transmission, synchronous refers to the method where data is sent at regular intervals, often accompanied by a clock signal, to ensure both the sender and receiver are in synchronization. This consistent timing can improve the efficiency of data transmission but requires both systems to maintain the same pace, which can be challenging.
