Half-duplex

Detailed explanation-1: -Half-Duplex is the data transmission mode in which the data can flow in both directions but in one direction at a time. It is also referred to as Semi-Duplex. In other words, each station can both transmit and receive the data but not at the same time.
Detailed explanation-2: -In full duplex mode, the signal is sent in both directions at the same time. In simplex mode, only one device can transmit the signal. In half duplex mode, both devices can transmit the signal, but one at a time. In full duplex mode, both devices can transmit the signal at the same time.
Detailed explanation-3: -Full-duplex data transmission means that data can be transmitted in both directions on a signal carrier at the same time. For example, on a local area network with a technology that has full-duplex transmission, one workstation can be sending data on the line while another workstation is receiving data.
