INTRODUCTION
In modern computer networks, efficient use of shared communication
resources is crucial to handle the growing demand for bandwidth and
the need to support multiple users simultaneously. Channelization
protocols are a set of techniques designed to address this challenge by
dividing the available bandwidth into distinct channels, ensuring that
multiple users can communicate without interfering with one another.
The three main types of channelization protocols—Frequency Division
Multiple Access (FDMA), Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA), and
Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA)—each utilize unique
approaches to allocate bandwidth. FDMA separates users by
frequency, TDMA by time slots, and CDMA by unique codes. These
protocols are integral to various communication systems, including
mobile networks, radio broadcasting, and satellite communication, and
have evolved to support a range of technologies, from analog to digital
systems. This paper explores these channelization protocols, their
mechanisms, and their significance in optimizing network efficiency and
performance.
LITERATURE REVIEW
Channelization Protocols:
Channelization is basically a method that provides the multiple-access and in
this, the available bandwidth of the link is shared in time, frequency, or
through the code in between the different stations.
With the help of this technique, the available bandwidth is divided into
frequency bands. Each station is allocated a band in order to send its data. Or
in other words, we can say that each band is reserved for a specific station and
it belongs to the station all the time.
Each station makes use of the bandpass filter in order to confine the
frequencies of the transmitter.
In order to prevent station interferences, the allocated bands are
separated from one another with the help of small guard bands.
The Frequency-division multiple access mainly specifies a predetermined
frequency for the entire period of communication.
Stream of data can be easily used with the help of FDMA.
Advantages of FDMA
Given below are some of the benefits of using the FDMA technique:
Disadvantages of FDMA
With the help of this technique, the stations share the bandwidth of the
channel in time.
A time slot is allocated to each station during which it can send the data.
Data is transmitted by each station in the assigned time slot.
There is a problem in using TDMA and it is due to TDMA the
synchronization cannot be achieved between the different stations.
When using the TDMA technique then each station needs to know the
beginning of its slot and the location of its slot.
If the stations are spread over a large area, then there occur propagation
delays; in order to compensate this guard, times are used.
The data link layer in each station mainly tells its physical layer to use the
allocated time slot.
CDMA technique differs from the FDMA because only one channel
occupies the entire bandwidth of the link.
The CDMA technique differs from the TDMA because all the stations can
send data simultaneously as there is no timesharing.
The CDMA technique simply means communication with different codes.
In the CDMA technique, there is only one channel that carries all the
transmission simultaneously.
CDMA is mainly based upon the coding theory; where each station is
assigned a code, Code is a sequence of numbers called chips.
The data from the different stations can be transmitted simultaneously
but using different code languages.
Advantages of CDMA
Given below are some of the advantages of using the CDMA technique:
Disadvantages of CDMA :
