Acknowledgment Signal

An acknowledgment signal is a message sent from one device to another to confirm that it has received and understood a previous transmission. It acts like a digital "thumbs up" or confirmation, ensuring reliable communication in systems like computers and networks. When a device sends data, the recipient responds with an acknowledgment to let the sender know everything went through correctly. This process helps prevent errors and ensures smooth, synchronized data exchange between multiple devices or systems.
