  2. Synchronous serial communication - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synchronous_serial...

    Synchronous serial communication describes a serial communication protocol in which "data is sent in a continuous stream at constant rate." [1]Synchronous communication requires that the clocks in the transmitting and receiving devices are synchronized – running at the same rate – so the receiver can sample the signal at the same time intervals used by the transmitter.

  3. Comparison of synchronous and asynchronous signalling

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_synchronous...

    Practically all parallel communications protocols use synchronous transmission. For example, in a computer, address information is transmitted synchronously—the address bits over the address bus, and the read or write strobes of the control bus. Single-wire synchronous signalling

  4. Computer-mediated communication - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/.../Computer-mediated_communication

    Computer-mediated communication (CMC) is defined as any human communication that occurs through the use of two or more electronic devices. [1] While the term has traditionally referred to those communications that occur via computer-mediated formats (e.g., instant messaging, email, chat rooms, online forums, social network services), it has also been applied to other forms of text-based ...

  5. Universal synchronous and asynchronous receiver-transmitter

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_synchronous_and...

    An example of a USART. A universal synchronous and asynchronous receiver-transmitter (USART, programmable communications interface or PCI) [1] is a type of a serial interface device that can be programmed to communicate asynchronously or synchronously.

  6. Social information processing (theory) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_information...

    Synchronous communication refers to interactions that occur in real-time, where participants in a conversation are actively communicating while online at the same time. Examples of online synchronous communication would be text messages and other instant messaging platforms, as well as internet telephony, such as FaceTime and Skype .

  7. Synchronization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synchronization

    Line dance and military step are examples. Muscular bonding is the idea that moving in time evokes particular emotions. [21] This sparked some of the first research into movement synchronization and its effects on human emotion. In groups, synchronization of movement has been shown to increase conformity, [22] cooperation and trust. [23 ...

  8. Synchronization in telecommunications - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synchronization_in...

    Ideally, clocks in a telecommunications network are synchronous, controlled to run at identical rates, or at the same mean rate with a fixed relative phase displacement, within a specified limited range. However, they may be mesochronous in practice. In common usage, mesochronous networks are often described as synchronous.

  9. Instant messaging - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instant_messaging

    Instant messaging (IM) technology is a type of synchronous computer-mediated communication involving the immediate transmission of messages between two or more parties over the Internet or another computer network.
