Describe Synchronous Transmission

• Synchronous transmission does not use start and stop bits, hence data transfer rate is quicker.

• The transmission is synchronized by speeding up at both the sending and receiving ends.

• This uses clock signals that are built at each component.

• Continual stream of data is sent between two nodes.

• Re-synchronization is one of the methods to address the lost bits.

• This method uses check digits instead of parity bits for ensuring the byte is correctly being interpreted and received.
