Multiple Access

Multiple access is a method that allows multiple devices or users to share a common communication channel, like a radio frequency or internet connection, without interfering with each other. Think of it as passing around a single conversation headset in a busy room: each person takes turns speaking or uses designated times or methods to ensure clarity. Techniques such as time division (taking turns), frequency division (different channels), or code division (unique codes) help manage this sharing efficiently. This ensures all users can communicate effectively without overlaps or data collisions.
