Time Division Multiple Access
Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) is a communication method that allows multiple users to share the same frequency channel by dividing the time into distinct intervals. Each user is assigned a specific time slot during which they can transmit their data, ensuring that signals do not interfere with one another. This technique is commonly used in mobile phone networks and satellite communications.
In TDMA, the time slots are allocated in a repeating cycle, allowing for efficient use of the available bandwidth. This system helps to maximize the number of users that can communicate simultaneously while maintaining clear and reliable connections.
