multiplexing
method by which multiple analog or digital signals are combined into one signal over a shared medium
frequency-division multiple access
channel-access method dividing communication frequency bands into non-overlapping sub-channels for separate users
Space-division multiple access
space division multiple access
Acoustic telegraphy
various methods of transmitting more than one telegraph messages simultaneously
packet switching
method for transmitting data over a computer network
frequency-division multiplexing
multiplexing dividing a comm medium into non-overlapping frequency bands, each carrying a separate signal
Synchronous Digital Hierarchy
standardized protocol that transfers multiple digital bit streams synchronously over optical fiber
code division multiple access
channel access method for radio communication, allowing many transmitters to send information over one channel using spread spectrum technology and a special coding scheme; used in GPS, cdmaOne, CDMA2000, UMTS, etc.
time-division multiplexing
multiplexing technique for digital signals
wavelength-division multiplexing
technology which multiplexes a number of optical carrier signals onto a single optical fiber by using different wavelengths
Polarization-division multiplexing
method for multiplexing signals
