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.
