Questions 
•What is the characterizing feature of 
asynchronous transmission? 
• Give some examples of asynchronous 
transmission 
• Can asynchronous transmission be 
conducted at high and low speeds? 
Give examples in each case
Asynchronous Transmission 
• Burst mode transmission 
• Sender and receiver are not 
synchronized with respect to the flow 
of the information 
• However, the sender and receiver are 
synchronized with respect to the timing 
of the characters that are transmitted
A Note on Asynchronous 
Transmission 
• In the past, asynchronous transmission 
referred only to character by character 
transmission where each character 
contained information about timing etc. 
– Note the use of start and stop bits 
• At present, the concept of asynchronous 
transmission can be extended to cover 
packet transmissions as well
The Use of the Word Asynchronous 
• Asynchronous Transmission 
– Generally refers to the transmission of 
characters with each character carrying 
information about timing 
• Asynchronous Communication 
– Refers to overall communication between 
two points 
•An example in this case would be ATM
Asynchronous Transmission 
Applied to Characters 
Stop Bit Start Bit 
Character Frame 
Each character is individually timed.
Asynchronous Transmission 
Applied to Packets 
Burst of Data 
Packets of data Packets of data 
A B 
Intermittent transmission of packets of data
Analogy 
Host expecting the 
arrival of guests 
Intermittent of burst arrival 
of guests
Asynchronous 
Transmission/Communication 
Application 
• Character by character transmission 
• Data packet transmission at present
Speed Variations In 
Asynchronous Transmission 
• Low and high-speed transmissions are 
possible 
• Low speed 
– Almost all modem based communications fall 
into this category 
• High speed 
– Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) 
• Internet is a good example where 
asynchronous communication is used 
predominantly to carry the information
Questions 
•What is the characterizing feature of 
asynchronous transmission? 
• Give some examples of asynchronous 
transmission 
• Can asynchronous transmission be 
conducted at high and low speeds? 
Give examples in each case

Questions 
• How does synchronous transmission 
differ from asynchronous transmission? 
•Where is synchronous transmission 
used in practice?
Synchronous Transmission 
• Sender and receiver are synchronized with 
respect to the sending and receiving of 
information 
• Each character need not have a start-bit and a 
stop-bit as the sender and the receiver are 
both synchronized 
• Requires more hardware and software 
resources 
• High speed communication is the norm
A Note on Synchronous 
Transmission 
• The definition of synchronous 
transmission refers to the transmission 
of characters 
• However, the use of the word 
synchronous can be extended to cover 
packet transmission as well
Usage in Practice 
•Which one of the two transmissions is 
used widely in the real world? Explain.
Examples of Synchronous 
Transmission 
• High-speed communication links 
established using synchronous modems 
– It is now possible to establish high speed 
links based on asynchronous transmission 
• Used in a number of mainframe 
installations 
– Collective exchange of information 
between the mainframe and the peripheral 
devices is based on synchronous 
transmission
In Summary 
• Synchronous transmission plays a 
smaller role compared to asynchronous 
transmission in practice 
• Implementation of synchronous 
transmission requires more resources 
• Asynchronous technology has advanced 
– It is no more necessary to rely on 
synchronous communication to establish a 
high speed communication link
