The term emphasizes the exchange aspect, including sending, receiving, interpreting, and responding to signals, rather than the content alone.
Key elements include the signaling channel (the medium), signal content (payload and metadata), timing (synchrony, latency),
Modalities can be unilateral or bilateral, synchronous or asynchronous, explicit or implicit. In explicit signaling, the
Applications of signaling exchange appear across telecommunications protocols, distributed systems, robotics, and user interfaces. In telecommunications,
The concept draws on signaling theory in biology and economics, and relates to exchange theory and communication
