Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) – Definition and Pronunciation
What is TDMA?
TDMA (Time Division Multiple Access) is the process by which MESs communicate with an LES or NCS.
Examples of TDMA
Data link layer transmission: DOCSIS utilizes a mixture of deterministic access methods: TDMA for DOCSIS 1.0/1.1 and both TDMA and S-CDMA for DOCSIS 2.0 and 3.0.
From “UltraHD Video/TV and Satellite Implications”.
TDMA is a communications technique that uses a common channel (multipoint or broadcast) for communications among multiple users by allocating unique time slots to different users.
From “High Throughput Satellites (HTS) and KA/KU Spot Beam Technologies”.
The sharing of a channel (colloquially, a “transponder”) is achieved, at this juncture, using Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA), random access techniques, Demand Access Multiple Access (DAMA), or Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) (spread spectrum).
From “Exploring the Future of Satellites”.
