	Time division multiple access - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		TDMA is also used extensively in satellite systems, local area networks, physical security systems, and combat-net radio systems.
		The name "TDMA" is also commonly used in America to refer to a specific second generation (2G) mobile phone standard, more properly referred to as IS-136 or D-AMPS, which uses the TDMA technique to timeshare the bandwidth of the carrier wave.
		TDMA is a type of Time-division multiplexing, with the special point that instead of having one transmitter connected to one receiver, there are multiple transmitters.

	Cellular Networking Perspectives: TDMA Digital
		Some of the challenges related to TDMA systems are voice quality (which has improved over time), interference with other electronic devices, such as hearing aids (due to regular fluctuations in signal strength) and the area covered (it becomes harder to keep three mobiles synchronized as their distance from the cellsite increases).
		TDMA, as defined in TIA IS-54, IS-136, and TIA/EIA-136 theoretically triples the capacity of cellular frequencies (the actual gain is between 2 and 3 times over analog), by dividing a 30 khz cellular channel into 3–8 kbps timeslots, which supports 3 users in strict alternation.
		The IS-136 TDMA digital cellular and PCS standard was described in the August and September, 1995 issues of Cellular Networking Perspectives.

	time division multiple access - a Whatis.com definition - see also: TDMA
		TDMA (time division multiple access) is a technology used in digital cellular telephone communication that divides each cellular channel into three time slots in order to increase the amount of data that can be carried.
		An alternative multiplexing scheme to FDMA with TDMA is CDMA (code division multiple access), which takes the entire allocated frequency range for a given service and multiplexes information for all users across the spectrum range at the same time.
		TDMA was first specified as a standard in EIA/TIA Interim Standard 54 (IS-54).

	Time Division Multiple Access Solution TDMA VSAT Data Connectivity
		Time division multiple access (TDMA) is digital transmission technology that allows a number of users to access a single radio-frequency (RF) channel without interference by allocating unique time slots to each user within each channel.
		The TDMA system is designed for use in a range of environments and situations, from hand portable use in a downtown office to a mobile user traveling at high speed on the freeway.
		TDMA offers a flexible air interface, providing high performance with respect to capacity, coverage, and unlimited support of mobility and capability to handle different types of user needs.

	TDMA - Time Division Multiple Access
		TDMA (Time Division Multiple Access) is a digital mobile phone network that operates in the US, Latin America, New Zealand, parts of Russia and Asia Pacific.
		TDMA is also the name of a digital technology based on the IS -136 standard.
		TDMA is also used sometimes to refer specifically to the standard covered by IS-136, which is a source of confusion because GSM also uses a TDMA air interface, as does IDEN, and neither of those systems are compatible with IS-136.

		A tecnologia TDMA é usada em comunicação de telefones celulares digitais para dividir cada canal celular em três slots para aumentar a quantidade de dados transmitidos.
		TDMA oferece um grande número de vantagens sobre os outros padrões de tecnologia celular.
		Outro problema com o TDMA é a distorção de múltiplos caminhos, ou seja, um canal saindo de uma torre pode percorrer vários caminhos, se um caminho passa, por exemplo, por muitos prédios, antes de chegar ao seu destino, pode sofrer interferência.

	21st-TDMA vs. CDMA
		TDMA was seen as a quick start technology because it already had an established market base in Europe; the TDMA-based GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications) digital cellular system.
		TDMA was thus selected in 1989 as a digital cellular standard.
		However, TDMA's caller menage a trois was far less than the tenfold increase than was requested by the industry.

		By applying TDMA techniques, each of these carrier frequencies is further subdivided into time slots which provide each user with the carrier frequency for approximately 0.577ms.
		TDMA is short for Time Division Multiple Access, a technology for delivering digital wireless service using TDM (which itself is short for time-division multiplexing).
		TDMA, which is widely used in the US, South America and parts of theAsia Pacific region for wireless voice communications, supports a circuit-switched data rate of 9.6 kpbs, although no operator in the U.S. has deployed such service.

		TDMA has been around for quite a while and has proven itself to be reliable technology capable of providing a large number of users with good quality service.
		A big advantage of the TDMA technology is that it was the scheme used in the Interim Standard 54, also known as United States Digital Cellular (USDC) or digital AMPS (D-AMPS), that served to make the transition to a digital system from the first-generation cellular analog AMPS system.
		In contrast, TDMA systems have remained as the sole multiple access scheme in only 3 of the top fourteen cellular providers, although one of these is AT&T Wireless, the largest cellular carrier at 78.757 million POPs.

	CDMA FAQ: How is CDMA superior to TDMA? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		TDMA works by taking a channel with a fixed bandwidth and dividing it into time slots.
		In other words, when you're in a call with TDMA and being silent because you're listening to the other person speak, your phone still uses that full bandwidth to transmit silence.
		In both TDMA and CDMA, the outgoing voice traffic is digitized and compressed.

	CDMA vs TDMA
		Once again, TDMA is only a method of transmitting bits, while IS-136 is a protocol that happens to employ TDMA.
		TDMA systems still rely on the switch to determine when to perform a handoff.
		The TDMA handset constantly monitors the signals coming from other sites, and it reports this information to the switch without the caller being aware of it.

	USS Clueless - GSM 3G
		FM encoding is extremely inefficient in use of bandwidth, and spectrum was scarce and expensive, and it rapidly became clear that FM wasn't able to handle the traffic which was expected and which was really needed to make cellular telephony a profitable business.
		In TDMA, a given phone in a given voice call is allocated a certain fixed amount of bandwidth whether it needs it or not.
		The fundamental weakness of TDMA at the RF layer could not be compensated for at any layer higher than that, no matter how well designed it was.

	Putting the C in TDMA?
		TDMA 3G Activity Despite the CDMA camp's push for TDMA carriers to move to cdma2000 1X technology, North America's two largest TDMA-based carriers have chosen otherwise.
		CDG's Takach said TDMA carriers need to evaluate which path is easier: invest a lot to get to GPRS, then invest a lot to get to maybe EDGE, then invest more to get to CDMA in the form of WCDMA; or transition sooner to CDMA by investing in cdma2000 1X.
		Cingular's Rinne agreed that GSM and TDMA have a clear migration path together on both the data and voice sides due to cooperation between the UWCC and the GSM Alliance.

		TDMA operators were to have overlaid packet based GPRS onto their TDMA infrastructure.

		For both 800 and 1900 MHz TDMA operators, there is the potential inability of subscribers to use their GSM services when roaming on to TDMA networks.

		TDMA also forms the basis of both Personal Digital Cellular (PDC), the second-most-popular mobile standard (even though it’s only used in Japan), and Motorola’s proprietary Integrated Digital Enhanced Network (IDEN).
		All TDMA systems work by dividing a frequency into a number of time slots, each of which corresponds to one communication channel.

		The length of a 26-frame multiframe is 120 ms, which is how the length of a burst period is defined (120 ms divided by 26 frames divided by 8 burst periods per frame).
		This ciphering key, together with the TDMA frame number, use the A5 algorithm to create a 114 bit sequence that is XORed with the 114 bits of a burst (the two 57 bit blocks).
		Enciphering is an option for the fairly paranoid, since the signal is already coded, interleaved, and transmitted in a TDMA manner, thus providing protection from all but the most persistent and dedicated eavesdroppers.
