Objectives: To Study about channelization protocol and basic understanding of how to share
available bandwidth using this protocol between different station.
1. Time-Division Multiplexing
2. Frequency-Division Multiplexing
3. Code-Division Multiplexing
DIAGRAM:
1- Time-Division Multiplexing
In time-division multiplexing (TDMA), different sources transmit on the line at different
times, each taking (very short) turns. This is used in long-distance phone lines.

Practice Question:
Suppose stations 1 and 2 are talking to each other. Station 2 wants to hear
what station 1 is saying. How the stations share the bandwidth of the
channel in time?
2- Frequency-Division Multiplexing
In frequency-division multiplexing (FDMA), the different sources attached to the line
send on different frequencies (e.g. different radio frequencies, or different light
frequencies, i.e. different colors). This is used for radio and television transmission, and
increasingly for computer-to-computer network transactions.

Fig 2: Frequency-Division Multiplexing
Practice Question:
Suppose stations 1 and 2 are talking to each other. Station 2 wants to hear
what station 1 is saying. How to divide available bandwidth into frequency
bands for all station?
3- Code-Division Multiplexing

In code-division multiplexing (CDMA), all nodes on the network send at the same time, on the
same frequency, but using different codes. (Think of one node using a 4B/5B code, another using
a second kind of code, and so on.) This is used in some cellular telephone systems.
