Duplex

Full-Duplex refers to simultaneous two-way transmission, such as experienced in a phone conversation. Both ends of the connection can hear each other at the same time.

Half-Duplex, in contrast, will transmit in only one direction - from the loudest noise - at a time. When one person is speaking, the other cannot be heard.
