In synchronous communications, the stream of data to be transferred is encoded as fluctuating voltage levels in one wire (the 'DATA'), and a periodic pulse of voltage on a separate wire (called the "CLOCK" or "STROBE") which tells the receiver "the current DATA bit is 'valid' at this moment in time".
Asynchronous communication at the data link layer or higher protocol layers is known as statistical multiplexing, for example Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM). In this case, the asynchronously transferred blocks are called data packets, for example ATM cells.
Before signaling will work, the sender and receiver must agree on the signaling parameters: Full or half-duplex operationThe number of bits per character -- currently almost always 8-bit characters, but historically some transmitters have used a five-bit character code, six-bit character code, or a 7-bit ASCII.
The ASI output of a DVB Integrated Receiver/Decoder (IRD). It carries the entire MPEG transport stream being received from a DVB satellite feed entering the RF input (far left side in picture).
In physics, the no-communication theorem (also referred to as the no-signaling principle) is a no-go theorem in quantum information theory.It asserts that during the measurement of an entangled quantum state, it is impossible for one observer to transmit information to another observer, regardless of their spatial separation.
Stephen Downes (born April 6, 1959) is a Canadian philosopher and commentator in the fields of online learning and new media.He has explored and promoted the educational use of computer and online technologies since 1995. [1]
In computer science, asynchronous I/O (also non-sequential I/O) is a form of input/output processing that permits other processing to continue before the I/O operation has finished.
Asynchronous circuit (clockless or self-timed circuit) [1]: Lecture 12 [note 1] [2]: 157–186 is a sequential digital logic circuit that does not use a global clock circuit or signal generator to synchronize its components.
