This document discusses multiplexing and multiple access techniques for communication systems. It covers frequency-division multiplexing (FDM), time-division multiplexing (TDM), and code-division multiple access (CDMA). FDM divides the frequency spectrum among users, TDM divides bandwidth by allowing each signal to use the full bandwidth for only part of the time in rotation, and CDMA assigns each transmitter a unique pseudo-noise sequence. The document also discusses applications of these techniques in telephony, digital switching, and spread-spectrum systems.

Shared media is common in cable television, telephone
systems, and data communications
Two types of combining signals are:
Multiplexing - combining signals from the same sources
Multiple-access - combining signals from multiple sources
Review of Hartleys Law
Hartleys law demonstrates the theoretical limit to how
much information can be delivered over a medium
Hartleys law shows that time and bandwidth are
equivalent
A communications medium can be shared equally by
dividing either quantity among users
The frequency spectrum can be divided by using:
FDM (frequency-division multiplexing)
TDM (time-division multiplexing
CDMA (code-division multiple access)
Frequency-Division Multiplexing and Multiple Access (FDM/FDMA)
FDM/FDMA is the most basic form of multiplexing and
has been used since the first days of radio
Each transmission is assigned a band of frequencies on a
full-time basis
FDM/FDMA is versatile, being used in radio, all types of
cable, and optical fiber Time-Division Multiplexing and Multiple Access (TDM/TDMA)
TDM is used mainly for digital communication
Each information signal is allowed all the available
bandwidth, but only for part of the time
In theory, it is possible to divide the bandwidth among all
users of a channel
Continuously varying signals are not well suited to TDM
Many signals can be sent on one channel by sending a
sample from each signal in rotation TDM in Telephony
TDM is used extensively in telephony
Many different standards for TDM exist
On arrangement is the DS-1 signal
Consists of 24 PCM voice channels
Each channel is sampled at 8 kHz with 8 bits per sample
Each channel therefore has 64 kb/s
Consists of frames which contain the bits representing one sample
from each of the 24 channels
The multiplexed signal is sent at 8000 frames/sec, giving a total of
1.544 Mb/s transmission rate TDM Framing
The framing bits are used
to enable the receiver to determine which sample and which bit in the sample are being received at a given time
The receiver must be able
to distinguish between frames in order to decode the signaling information that is sent with the signal Digital Switching
One characteristic important to digital communication is
the ease and variety of methods available for switching
Switching signals from one line to another is known as
space switching to distinguish it from time switching Time Switching
A time switch moves PCM samples from one time slot to
another in a TDM signal Space Switching
A real switch has to handle very large numbers of subscribers
One way of accomplishing this is to use a combination of
time and space switches
A digital space switch is a crosspoint type of switch, but very
fast
A digital switch is completely electronic and not mechanical
Time-Space-Time Switching In a time-space-time switch, each of the time switches has a separate bus, called a highway, at its output Each of the space switches connects two or more time switches at its input to two or more others at its output as shown below: Spread-Spectrum Systems
One of the problems facing communication systems is the
proliferation of devices using limited available bandwidth, such as CB and cordless telephone systems
One approach to solve this problem is use a complex,
computer-controlled system of frequency reuse
The problem with this approach is the delegation of strong
central control to government or service providers Spread-Spectrum Communication
One technique to solve these problems is the use of spread-
spectrum communication
This technique, as the name implies, spreads the signal
over a broader spectrum of frequencies than is usual
By using a smaller portion of a greater bandwidth, less
interference is produced between competing signals
Spread-spectrum signals use very low power and may have
a signal-to-noise ratio of less than one Types of Spread-Spectrum Systems
There are two important types of spread-spectrum systems:
Frequency-hopping
Direct-sequence Frequency-Hopping Systems
Frequency-hopping systems are the simpler of the two
systems available
A frequency generator is used that generates a carrier that
changes frequency many times a second according to a programmed sequence of channels known as pseudo- random (PN) noise sequence
It is called this because if the sequence is not known, the
frequencies appear to hop about unpredictably Direct-Sequence Systems
Direct-sequence systems inject pseudo-random noise (PN)
into the bit stream that has a much higher rate than the actual data to be communicated
The data to be transmitted is combined with the PN
The PN bits are inverted when real data is represented by a one
and leave the bit stream unchanged when a data zero is transmitted
The extra bits transmitted this way are called chips
Most direct-sequence systems use a chipping rate of at least ten
times the bit rate Direct-Sequence Spectrum
The use of high-speed PN sequence results in an increase
in the bandwidth of the signal, regardless of the modulation scheme used to encode the signal Reception of Spread-Spectrum Signals
The type of receiver used for spread-spectrum signals
depends upon how the signal is generated
For a frequency-hopped signal, a conventional narrowband
receiver is needed that hops in the same way and is synchronized to the transmitter
One way to synchronize the signals is to transmit a tone on
a prearranged channel at the start of each transmission before it begins hopping
A more reliable method is to for the transmitter to visit
several channels in a prearranged order before beginning a normal transmission Reception of Direct-Sequence Spread-Spectrum
Direct-sequence spread-spectrum transmissions require a
wideband receiver with autocorrelation incorporated into it
Autocorrelation involves multiplying the the received signal
by a signal generated at the receiver from the PN code
When the input signal corresponds to the PN code, the
output will be large; at other times, the output will be small Code-Division Multiple Access (CDMA)
For code-division multiple access, all that is required is for
each transmitter to be assigned a different pseudo-noise (PN) sequence
If possible, orthogonal sequences should be used
The PN sequence for the transmitter is only given to the
receiver that is to operate with the transmitter
The receiver will then only receive the correct signals and ignore all others
