What is Time Division Multiplexing (TDM)?
Please explain why it is important and how it works. Feel free to use a drawing to illustrate your answer. Multiplexing, simply defined, is the sharing a resource. Time division multiplexing is the name we giving to sharing a resource by dividing access to the resource by time. In other words, TDM is sharing a resource by “taking turns over time”. If a resource is shared by TDM, each user gets the resource for a fixed amount of time, need it or not, and the ability to use the resource rotates circularly among the users. • What is Statistical Multiplexing, a.k.a. broadcasting. Under what circumstances is it preferable to static multiplexing techniques? Statistical multiplexing is a form of dynamic multiplexing. Dynamic multiplexing doesn’t divide the resource up into fixed, pre-determined pieces, such as time-slices or frequency ranges. Instead, dynamic multiplexing allows the piece of the resource given to a particular user to vary, according to the user’s individual needs, and the nee
