MULTIPLEXING
• A fundamental mechanism in
communication system and networks
• Enables multiple users to share a medium
• For wireless communication, multiplexing
can be carried out in four dimensions:
space, time, frequency and code
8. 8
2. Space Division Multiple Access (SDMA)
• Channels are assigned on the basis of
―space‖(but operate on same frequency)
• The assignment makes sure that the
transmission do not interfere with each
(with a guard band in between)
10. 10
3. FDMA: Frequency Division Multiple Access
1. Frequency domain is subdivided into several non-
overlapping frequency bands
2. Each channel is assigned its own frequency band (with
guard spaces in between)
12. 12
3. TDMA : Time Division Medium Access
• A channel is given the whole bandwidth for a
certain amount of time
– All senders use the same frequency, but at different
point of time
• Synchronization can be done by using
– Fixed Allocation Scheme or
– Dynamic Allocation Scheme
17. 17
• In this each terminal on the network is able to
monitor the status of the channel before
transmitting information
• Variations:
– 1-persistent CSMA
– non-persistent CSMA -
– p-persistent CSMA
– CSMA/CA
– Elimination yield – non-preemptive multiple access
(EY-NMPA)

4. CDMA: Code Division Multiple Access
◼ separation of channels achieved by assigning each
channel its own code
◼ guard spaces are realized by having distance in
code space (e.g. orthogonal codes)
◼ transmitter can transmit in the same frequency
band at the same time, but have to use different
code
◼ Provides good protection against interference and
tapping
◼ but the receivers have relatively high complexity.
