Time-Division Multiple Access (TDMA)
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 systems, the time slots are carefully managed to optimize the use of available bandwidth. By allowing users to take turns transmitting, TDMA enhances the efficiency of the communication channel while maintaining a clear and organized flow of information.
