Modes of operation[edit]

A standard landline telephone allows both users to talk and listen simultaneously; effectively there
are two open channels between the two end-to-end users of the system. In a radiotelephone system,
this form of working, known as full-duplex, require a radio system to simultaneously transmit and
receive on two separate channels, which both wastesbandwidth and presents some technical
challenges. It is, however, the most comfortable method of voice communication for users, and it is
currently used in cell phones and was used in the former IMTS.
