Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) is a channel access method for shared medium networks. It allows several users to share the same frequency channel by dividing the signal into different time slots. The users transmit in rapid succession, one after the other, each using their own time slot. This allows multiple stations to share the same transmission medium while using only a part of its bandwidth.
TDMA is commonly used in cellular networks, wireless LANs (WLAN), satellite communication systems and military radio systems. TDMA can be implemented either as a static or dynamic allocation of time slots to nodes on the network. In a static TDMA system, each node is assigned a fixed timeslot for transmitting data throughout the duration of the network connection. In contrast, in dynamic TDMA systems, nodes are only assigned timeslots when they have data to transmit; this results in more efficient use of available bandwidth since unused timeslots can be reassigned to other nodes on an as-needed basis.
