Statistical Time Division Multiplexing

Statistical Time Division Multiplexing (STDM) is a method of sharing a single communication channel among multiple data streams efficiently. It dynamically allocates time slots to each user based on their current data needs, rather than dividing the channel into fixed segments. This means users with more data to send get more time, while those with less data use fewer slots. STDM improves bandwidth utilization by adapting to varying traffic, reducing wait times, and minimizing wasted capacity, making it suitable for networks where data transmission demands fluctuate.
