文法句型
asynchronous + course / learning / teaching / class

- synchronous
requires a shared clock signal between sender and receiver to coordinate data transfer
文法句型
asynchronous + communication / transmission / mode / transfer
asynchronous + noun
用法筆記
Technical term in computing and telecommunications. The opposite 'synchronous' transmission requires both devices to follow a shared clock signal. Not used in everyday conversation outside technical contexts.
