Overview of Multiple Access Technologies

Multiple access technologies allow multiple users to share limited radio spectrum resources for communication. The main technologies are FDMA, TDMA, CDMA, and SDMA. FDMA assigns each user a unique frequency band. TDMA assigns each user time slots on a frequency channel. CDMA encodes each user's signal with a unique code and all signals share the full bandwidth simultaneously. SDMA uses antenna arrays at the base station to spatially separate signals from different users communicating simultaneously on the same channel.

MULTIPLE ACCESS TECHNOLOGY


MULTIPLE ACCESS TECHNOLOGY
• technology that use of multiplexing techniques to provide
communication service to multiple users over a single channel
• It allows for many users at one time by sharing a finite amount of
radio spectrum
• Remember:
Multiplexing is the process of combining multiple signals into
one signal, over a shared medium.
If the digital signals are multiplexed, then it is called as digital
multiplexing
DIFFERENT DIGITAL MULTIPLE
ACCESS TECHNOLOGIES
FDMA
 Each user is assigned a unique frequency within a one timeslot.
i.e. different frequencies are used within a one timeslot.
FDMA
• If FDMA is not in use, the channel is left idle instead of allotting to the other
users.
• Each channel can be assigned to only one user at a time.
• The base station BS and mobile station MS, transmit and receive
simultaneously and continuously in FDMA.
• The Digital-Advanced Mobile Phone Service(D-AMPS) also uses FDMA
but adds time division multiple access (TDMA).
• The main disadvantage of this method is that it is very burst. This method of
multiple access is not recommended for the channels, which are of dynamic
and uneven. Because, it will make their data as inflexible and inefficient
TDMA

• TDMA shares a single carrier frequency with several users where each
user makes use of non-overlapping time slots.
TDMA
• TDMA is a digital technique that divides a single channel or band into
time slots. Each time slot is used to transmit one byte or another
digital segment of each signal in sequential serial data format.
• Only one user is allowed to either transmit or receive in each time slot.
• Data transmission in TDMA is not continuous, that why TDMA is
used instead of FDMA.
• TDMA is used in second (2) generation like GSM, GPRS and EDGE.
• Tight filtering is done here to reduce adjacent channel interference.
CDMA
CDMA
• Code division multiple access technique is the multiple access where
several transmitters use a single channel to send information
simultaneously
CDMA
 In CDMA every user uses the full available spectrum instead of
getting allotted by separate frequency.
 CDMA is much recommended for voice and data communications.
 While multiple codes occupy the same channel in CDMA, the users
having same code can communicate with each other.
• The basic advantage of this multiple access is that it allows all users
to use the entire bandwidth at the same time. Since each user has
different code, there won’t be any interference
SDMA
• Space division multiple access or spatial division multiple access is a
technique which is MIMO (multiple-input multiple-output)
architecture and used mostly in wireless and satellite communication.
• All users can communicate at the same time using the same channel.
• SDMA is completely free from interference.
