The document discusses three modes of communication: simplex, half-duplex, and full-duplex. Simplex mode allows transmission in only one direction, half-duplex allows transmission in both directions but not simultaneously, and full-duplex allows simultaneous transmission in both directions by dividing the channel capacity between the two directions. The document also discusses multiple access techniques that allow multiple users to share a communication medium, including frequency division multiple access (FDMA) and orthogonal frequency-division multiple access (OFDMA) used in Wi-Fi 6 to improve wireless network performance.
