Multipoint | In a multipoint guided configuration, more than two devices share the same medium. |
Simplex transmission | In simplex transmission, signals are transmitted in only one direction; one station is transmitter and the other is receiver. |
Half-duplex transmission | In half-duplex transmission, both station may transmit, but only one at a time. |
Full-duplex transmission | In this case the medium is carrying signals in both direction |
