Synchronous Multiplexing

This document discusses synchronous and asynchronous time division multiplexing (TDM). Synchronous TDM dedicates a fixed time slot in each frame for each device whether it has data to transmit or not. Asynchronous TDM uses a frame with a fixed number of slots not dedicated to specific devices, with the number of slots not necessarily matching the number of input devices and multiple slots possibly allocated to a single device. The document provides the T1 line as an example of synchronous TDM and mentions channel framing standards like E1.

whether or not the device has anything to transmit.

Asynchronous TDM
The frame contains a fixed number of slots. The slots
are however not dedicated to fixed devices.
Number of slots is not necessarily the same as number
of input devices.
More than one slot in a frame may be allocated to an
input device.

Consider multiplexing scheme in T1 line.
