  Duplex (telecommunications) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In point to multipoint networks such as cellular networks, both TDD and FDD are used in communication between the base station and the mobile transmitter.
Time division duplex has a strong advantage in the case where the asymmetry of the uplink and downlink data speed is variable.
In this case TDD tends to waste bandwidth during switchover from transmit to receive, has greater inherent latency, and may require more complex, more power-hungry circuitry.

 United States Patent: 5,959,982
A TDD timing device (TDD), as described with reference to the background section, is a controlling device used to time and synchronize periods of transmission and reception between the base station and an individual CPE to optimize communication at a defined physical separation.
The time period of the offset between the beginning of base transmit and remote receive is a function primarily of the distance of separation between the base and the remote, and increases with further separation.
The TDD for the exemplary CPE in FIG.

 Time-Division Duplex CDMA Communications
Guard times of 50 µs (equivalent to a round-trip of 15 km) are placed between the forward and reverse link frames, resulting in a 3.3 percent reduction in data transmission efficiency.
In TDD systems we can utilize the fact that for a period of time the channel impulse response is the same for the forward and reverse links.
While TDD facilitates forward link diversity reception at the mobile unit by transmission antenna preselection at the base station, diversity reception in FDD is only possible if multiple antennas are used, while it is necessary to keep the size and cost down.

 Data transmission over a time division duplex channel - Patent 5117423
Each frame is divided into 24 time slots (or physical channels) of which the first twelve F1 to F12 are allocated for transmission in a forward direction, that is from a primary station to a secondary station, and the second twelve R1 to R12 are allocated for transmission in the reverse direction.
The reversing of the under-utilised time slots (or physical channels) can be done dynamically in response to monitoring the duplex voice channels and detecting either the absence of signals or the presence of excessive padding and the system controller and/or secondary station deciding to reverse the particular time slots (or physical channels).
A first possible option is to permit the use of the released time slot(s) (or physical channel(s)) for unidirectional transmission in said one direction so that the pair of time slots (or physical channels) of the or each assigned duplex voice channel are used for transmission of data packets.

 Smart Base Stations for "Dumb" Time-Division Duplex Terminals
This scenario is well matched to time-division duplex (TDD) operation, where the uplink and downlink of a duplex channel transmit alternately, on the same frequency, with their respective transmissions separated by the propagation delay.
Hence, TDD permits most of the functions of matching the mobile receivers to the instantaneously prevailing propagation conditions to be handled instead by preprocessing the signals transmitted from the base station.
Indeed, when, as is likely, TDD is associated with TDM, a single time-shared equalizer and diversity combiner at the base station, reset by the initial training signal for each pair of duplex time slots, can serve the up- and downlinks of all the mobiles within the cell.

 Simultaneous ringing control in the time division duplex telecommunications system - Patent 5103448
Because portable units will be sleeping most of the time, and wake up in their own time (they are not synchronised), it is not predictable when a handset detects its own poll and starts ringing.
Since the burst timing of the handset 11 is slaved to the timing of the base station 3, except during multiplex 3 transmissions, the timing information received by the system controller 99 from the S channel controller 101 is not used to control the timing of the operations of the programmable multiplexer 85.
However the programmable demultiplexer 95 is controlled in accordance with the received burst timing, both to enable correct decoding of multiplex 3 transmissions from a handset 11 and to compensate for the effect of RF transmission delays on transmissions from the handset 11.

A transmission power level for the second communication in a second time slot form the user equipment is set based on in part the pathloss estimate weighted by a quality factor adjusted by the power command.
Typically, in a TDD system, the channels used for estimating path loss are referred to as reference channels, although other channels may be used.
The baseband signal is processed, such as by a channel estimation device 100 and a data estimation device 102, in the time slots and with the appropriate codes assigned to the communication burst of the receiving station 50.

 Time-division multiplex switching system - United States Patent 3,963,870
Two-way links communication capability between time-division multiplexed subsystems is provided via dual time division address and data busses correlated by a recirculating memory having sections respectively associated with the address busses.
Addresses on the address busses are recognized by the individual subsystems and further decoded to gate data to and from the busses data according to time slots assigned to terminal devices in the subsystems.
The present switching system is preferably used to enable two transmitting/receiving devices which do not belong to the same sub-system to be interconnected, and conventional switching means, which form no part of the present invention and are not shown in the drawings, may be used to interconnected two devices in one given sub-system.

Time slots are units of time in UTRA TDD which have a duration of 625us each or 2560 chips at 4.096Mcps.
Generally, the spreading factor would be chosen such that an integer number of time slots are completely occupied, and another one partiallu used with a different spreading factor.
This is achieved by using the time division property, so that both uplink and downlink can be transmitted at the same carrier frequency.

 Andrew and IPWireless Jointly Develop Technology That Enables Sharing of 3G Cell Site Antennas
This new duplexer allows wireless operators to deploy both UMTS Frequency Division Duplex (FDD) and UMTS Time Division Duplex (TDD) systems using a single antenna, efficiently taking full advantage of their 3G spectrum to deploy new broadband services and offload traffic from their circuit switched networks.
Now commercially available, the UMTS FDD/TDD duplexer has already been proven in a number of trials across Europe, and will be used by a number of operators including the recently announced UMTS TDD deployment by Sonaecom in Portugal.
The TDD systems use time division to separate the uplink and downlink instead of using separate frequency bands, allowing the TDD system to have flexible asymmetry and better match typical data traffic patterns.

Despite its inconvenience, the half duplex mode is used quite commonly in order to minimise the use of radio frequencies which are at a premium.
Integr ation of half duplex radio links to telephone networks creates problems when the direction of information flow is controlled from the presence and absence of speech signal.
A voice signal with duration of T seconds is compressed into T/2 seconds and a time division duplex (TDD) scheme is then used to alternate the transmission of compressed speech signals from each end.

Robert Foster, Wavtrace's founder and chief technology officer, filed for a series of patents related to adaptive TDD and other aspects of third generation point to multipoint systems of which this patent is the first to be awarded.
Adaptive TDD is the method of establishing a bi-directional communications link using a single channel, whereby any part of the channel up to its full capacity can be used in either the upstream or downstream direction in response to demand.
The adaptability of TDD, when combined with other dynamically adjustable system parameters, such as variable information densities, link distances, and the sharing of bandwidth among remote units, allows for an overall system design of unprecedented efficiency, providing 20 to 50% greater throughput than systems using older FDD technology (depending on level of asymmetry).
