Abstract
A data communication system includes a novel transceiver which uses different transmit and receive data symbol lengths enabling the transceiver to operate in a full-duplex mode. The transceiver transmits data of a first type over a communication link during a first time period, and receives data of a second type over the link during a second time period which is longer than the first time period and which overlaps a portion of the first time period. In one embodiment, the transceiver switches a transmitting means to the link during the first time period and connects a receiving means to the link during a portion of the second time period which does not overlap the first time period.
