Chapter 6: Multiplexing
Definition
Multiplexing refers to the ability of a number
of devices to share a transmission facility. If
each device needs the facility only a fraction
of the time, then a sharing arrangement
allows the cost of the facility to be spread
over many users.
In data transmission, a function that permits
two or more data source to share a common
transmission medium such that each data
source has its own channel.
Multiplexing
It is a process of combining separate
signal channels into one composite
stream.
It is used to increase the utilization of a
transmission path and lower the unit
cost.
Multiplexing
3 methods of multiplexing:
- Frequency Division Multiplexing (FDM)
- Time Division Multiplexing (TDM)
- Statistical Time Division Multiplexing
(STDM)

Compression
Compression involves squeezing the
data down so that a lower capacity,
cheaper transmission facility can be
used to meet a given demand.

Motivation for Multiplexing
The higher the data rate, the more cost
effective the transmission facility.
The greater the capacity of a
transmission facility, in terms of voice
channels, the less the cost per
individual voice channel.
Motivation for Compression
Increase the efficiency of transmission.
- Data compression permits an increase in
the amount of information transferred over a
data link per unit. Thus, for a link of a given
data rate, a greater information load can be
supported.
- by compressing data, a given source can be
supported on a lower-speed data link,
resulting in reduction in cost in comparison
with the expense of a data link operated at a
higher data rate
Can be used as a technique to reduce the
duration of a transmission session.
FDM
The Architecture:
FDM
Dividing or slicing a given bandwidth into a
number of narrow bandwidth units known as
channel.
The gap is known as guard bands, used to
prevent inter-channel interference.
The closer the channels are together, the
narrow the guard bands, therefore the more
critical and expensive the channel filter
become.
FDM
FDM is use in:
Cable TV systems, which carry multiple
video channels on a single cable.
The broadband cable TV transmission
media.
Television distribution systems,
including broadcast television and cable
TV.
FDM
High bandwidth media such as coaxial
cable and microwave links was used to
carry numerous speech channels in the
older analog communication network.
The disadvantage of FDM:
Slow transmission speed.
FDM
The only way to increase the
transmission speed is to reduce the bit
size (compression).
Data type: voice and data.
The choice of medium: electrical and
optical.
In FDM, gaps are left between the
frequencies to prevent distortion.
TDM
The Architecture:
TDM
Each channel is allocated a pre-defined
amount of time to transmit data and
information over the channel.
TDM
TDM can be used with digital signals or
analog signals carrying digital data.
In this form of multiplexing, data from various
sources are carried in repetitive frames.
Each frame consists of a set of time slots,
and each source is assigned one or more
time slots per frame.
The effect is to interleave bits of data from the
various sources.
STDM
The Architecture
STDM
STDM provides a generally more
efficient service than TDM for the
support of terminals.
With statistical TDM, time slots are pre-
assigned to particular data source.
Rather, user data are buffered and
transmitted as rapidly as possible using
available time slots.
