Definitions -Multiplexing
Multiplexing is a process in which multiple data channels are combined into a single data or physical channel at the source
Demultiplexing - process of separating multiplexed data channels at the destination
Methods
- TDM - Time Division Multiplexing (time slots)
- ATDM - Asynchronous TDM (bandwidth allocated as needed; dynamically assigned time slots)
- FDM - Frequency Division Multiplexing
- Statistical Multiplexing (bandwidth is dynamically allocated to any channels that have information to transmit)
