A duplex communication system is one where signal can flow in both directions between connected parties.
These systems are employed in nearly all communications networks, either to allow for a "two-way street" between connected parties or to provide a "reverse path" for the monitoring and remote adjustment of equipment in the field.

 United States Patent Application: 0040141483
Communications transmitted from a base station 30.sub.1 to a UE 32.sub.1 are referred to as downlink communications and communications transmitted from a UE 32.sub.1 to a base station 30.sub.1 are referred to as uplink communications.
For instance, if communications sent between a UE and a base station are in a highly dynamic environment, such as due to the UE moving, such systems may not be able to adapt fast enough to compensate for the changes.
The communication burst is subsequently amplified by an amplifier 60.

In describing communications between two devices, the term 'message' is used to denote a communication from a source device to a destination device.
In a half-duplex communication system which utilizes a timing and synchronization scheme to avoid message collision, a source device desiring to communicate with a destination device on the same channel initiates the communication by sending out a message and waiting for a response from the destination device.
Communications between fax machine 50 and the peer fax machine are stored in buffer 46 if immediate transmission of the messages is not possible because of potential for message collisions or other system considerations.

 RFC 596 (rfc596) - Second thoughts on Telnet Go-Ahead
The purpose of this RFC is to advocate either complete removal of the GA mechanism or relegating it to the status of a negotiated option whose default state is that it be suppressed.
TERMINOLOGY "Half-duplex" is a two-way communication discipline in which transmission takes place in only one direction at a time and the receiving party is constrained not to transmit until the transmitting party has explicitly given up control of the communication path ("turned the line around").
Given the trend toward more interactive communication, and given the fact that terminals on the Network requiring a Go-Ahead mechanism are a distinct minority of all terminals, I think we should be reluctant to burden our protocols with kludges that are so clearly a concession to obsolete design.

 FAQ: What does half and full duplex mean?   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
Half-duplex is a mode of communication where at any given moment data can be either transmitted or received but cannot be transmitted and received simultaneously.The simplest example of half-duplex communications is using a walkie-talkie: you have to press a button to talk and release the button to listen.
Communication through traditional hub-based Ethernet networks is another example of half-duplex communications.
However, full- duplex requires two communication channels to achieve these results-one to transmit and one to receive signals.

 Synchronization method and synchronization recovery devices for half-duplex communication - Patent 5046074
The main object of this invention is to provide a synchronization method and synchronization recovery devices intended for half-duplex communication, taking advantage of a particular waveform of the half-duplex communication signals, to introduce into said signals very long synchronization words from which synchronization recovery is obtained very quickly and with good reliability.
Accordingly, the invention relates to a synchronization method wherein a communication signal is transmitted from a first end of a half-duplex bidirectional link and received at a second end of the link.
In a transmitting-receiving end equipment in a half-duplex link, a synchronization recovery device embodying the invention is situated after a duplexing device having a bidirectional port connected to the transmission support of the link, such as an optical fiber, for half-duplex transmitting and receiving digital signals such as e.g.

 Appendix B: IBM Serial Link Implementation Notes
Duplex, as seen on asynchronous communication lines (and in terminal emulation software parameters), implies full duplex as it applies to the echoing of transmitted characters by a host back to a terminal.
Full duplex specified on a terminal when the host is set for half duplex results in typing blind at the terminal.
Half duplex specified on a terminal when the host is set for full duplex results in double characters on the terminal.

 Brain.Save() - Duplex vs. Request-Response   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
The biggest thing that stood out to me was the idea of duplex communication as a new messaging pattern in addition to one-way and request/response.
Duplex messaging requires apps to formulate their own strategies for response correlation, but gives the benefits of higher throughput and greater flexibility over request/response.
I think the key to harnessing the power of duplex messaging is to free yourself from the last vestiges of the synchronous client/server mindset and start thinking about solutions as a set of peers that communicate asynchronously.

 Cordless telephone system - Patent 4039760
In a duplex communication link such as provided in the present invention for a cordless telephone system, one of the main difficulties is in providing for two-way transmission with sufficient selectivity in the receivers to reject transmission from adjacent, co-located transmitters.
In order to overcome the difficulties of the prior art telephone duplex communication systems, the present invention provides narrow bandpass filtering to enable closely adjacent, co-located transmitters and receivers to operate within a narrow frequency band, and preferably all transmission of the duplex link is totally within the citizens band.
However, in the present invention the duplex transmission frequencies are both located in the citizens band where sufficient power is permitted by Federal regulations to achieve the desired range for the duplex link while avoiding the problem of interference.

 Intel® Express 10 Switch - Definition of Full Duplex, Half Duplex, and Auto-Negotiation Modes
NOTE: To use full-duplex communication, both ends of the connection must be configured to operate in full-duplex mode, and the connecting device must have a full-duplex adapter installed.
Auto duplex negotiates whether the attached device is transmitting in half- or full-duplex, and then automatically changes that port to that mode.
Normally you would need to configure the port on the switch with a specific speed or duplex mode, but that is not required with auto-negotiation; it detects the capabilities of the other devices (over a common link) and configures itself to use the same technology automatically; this gives maximum efficiency.

 RS-232 Laser Transceiver
For full-duplex communication 2 transceivers and 2 lasers will be required, and for half-duplex communication a single laser, a transmitter and a transceiver is needed.
Because this is an entry level circuit, costs have been kept to a minimum around $20 for the transceiver and approximately $10 for the transmitter (excluding the laser pointer).
This offers secure communication since any attempts to intercept the laser beam would be detected at the receiver as a loss in data.

A communication handoff is initiated from the current communication system to the targeted communication system when the mobile unit recognizes a predetermined threshold level of the pilot search signal.
Concurrent communications are synchronized and temporarily maintained between the mobile unit and both the current and targeted communications systems using an increased data rate for each of the communications links.
When the handoff is complete, transmission between the mobile unit and the current communication system is terminated, while communication between the mobile unit and the targeted communication system is maintained when the handoff is complete.
