In-band communication refers to the process of transmitting control and data signals within the same frequency band or channel as the primary data signal. This method is commonly used in communication systems to efficiently manage and coordinate various functions, such as synchronizing devices, managing data flow, and controlling system parameters. In-band communication allows for simultaneous transmission of control and data signals within the same bandwidth, reducing the need for additional channels and bandwidth allocation. This approach is widely used in various communication technologies, including wireless networks, satellite communication systems, and internet protocols.
