Simple Time Division Multiplexing (STDM)

Simple Time Division Multiplexing (STDM) is a method of sharing a single communication channel among multiple users by dividing time into distinct slots. Each user is allotted a specific time slot during which they can transmit their data. By rapidly switching between users in these time slices, STDM ensures all users can share the same channel efficiently without interference. This technique optimizes bandwidth and maintains clear, organized communication, commonly used in digital telephony and data networks to manage multiple signals over one physical medium.
