Multiple-Access Techniques

Multiple-access techniques are methods that allow multiple users or devices to share the same communication channel without interference. Imagine a busy highway where cars (users) need to get to their destination (data transmission). Techniques like Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) give each car a time slot to drive, while Frequency Division Multiple Access (FDMA) assigns different lanes (frequencies) for each car. Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) uses unique codes to allow all cars to drive simultaneously without crashing. These methods ensure efficient and organized communication among multiple users, essential for technologies like mobile phones and the internet.
