Network Signaling
Network Signaling refers to the methods and protocols used to establish, maintain, and terminate communication between devices in a network. It involves the exchange of control messages that help manage the flow of data, ensuring that information is sent and received accurately. This process is essential for both wired and wireless networks, enabling devices to communicate effectively.
In telecommunications, signaling can be categorized into two main types: in-band signaling, where control information is sent over the same channel as the data, and out-of-band signaling, which uses a separate channel for control messages. These signaling techniques are crucial for managing network resources and ensuring reliable communication.
