2. Bandwidth utilization is the wise use of
available bandwidth to achieve
specific goals.
Efficiency can be achieved by
multiplexing; i.e., sharing of the
bandwidth between multiple users.

Note
3. 6-1 MULTIPLEXING
Whenever the bandwidth of a medium linking two
devices is greater than the bandwidth needs of the
devices, the link can be shared. Multiplexing is the set
of techniques that allows the (simultaneous)
transmission of multiple signals across a single data
link. As data and telecommunications use increases,
so does traffic.
Topics discussed in this section:
Frequency-Division Multiplexing
Synchronous Time-Division Multiplexing

13. FREQUENCYDIVISIONMULTIPLEX
Separation of spectrum into smaller
frequency bands
Channel gets band of the spectrum for the
whole time
Advantages:
no dynamic coordination needed
works also for analog signals
Disadvantages:
waste of bandwidth
if traffic distributed unevenly
inflexible
guard spaces

16. WHYFDMIS FORANALOGSIGNALSAND
TDMISFORDIGITALSIGNALS?
FDM stnds for frequency division
multiplexing and it is used only in case of
analog signals because analog signals are
continuous in nature and the signal have
frequency.
TDM-stands for time division multiplexing
and it is used only in case of digital
signals because digital signals are
discrete in nature and are in the form of 0
and 1s. and are time dependent.

6.17
In TDM, different users share the same channel based on
time slots alloted to them. Each user or source is given a
particular time slot to send its information.
1.The entire channel BW is available for a particular time
interval unlike in FDM where the channel BW is split into
smaller segments. This enables higher data rates.
2.All users share the same frequency, so spectrum
efficieny is increased. Available channel BW is no more a
constraint.
