Introduction
Multiple access schemes are used to allow
many users to share simultaneously a finite
amount of radio spectrum.
Sharing of spectrum is required to increase
capacity
For high quality communication this sharing of
spectrum should not degrade performance of
the system
high performance
duplexing generally required

Duplexing
What is Duplexing ? - to talk and listen
simultaneously.
Classification of communication systems according
to their connectivity:
o Simplex
A
o Half-duplex
A
o Duplex

TDD
o Single frequency hence simple transceiver
o Duplexer not needed, a switch can do the job
o There is time latency, communication is not fullduplex

Grouped as:
o Narrowband systems
o Wideband systems
Narrowband System
Bandwidth of the signal is narrow compared
with the coherence bandwidth of the channel.
In narrowband systems available radio
spectrum is divided into large number of
narrowband channels usually FDD (large
frequency split):
o Narrowband FDMA
o Narrowband TDMA
Narrowband System
Narrowband FDMA:
o a user is assigned a particular channel which is
not shared by other users.
o if FDD is used then each channel has a forward
and reverse link (called FDMA/FDD)
Narrowband TDMA:
o Allows users to share the same channel but
allocates a unique time slot to each user

Wideband System
The transmission BW of a single channel is
much larger than the coherence bandwidth of
the channel.
Users are allowed to transmit in a large part
of the spectrum.
Large number of transmitters on one
channel.
TDMA techniques allocates time slots to
different transmitters.
CDMA techniques allows the transmitters to
access the channel at the same time.

Features of TDMA
A single carrier frequency for several users
Transmission in bursts
Handoff process much simpler (can listen
when idle)
Low battery consumption
Bandwidth can be supplied on demand
Compared to FDD : Switch instead of
duplexer
High synchronization overhead
Example: GSM
