A means of creating multiple circuits on a single transmission channel by rapidly connecting terminals one at a time in a recurring time ordered sequence.
The process of combining a number of digital signals into a single digital stream by an orderly assignment of time slots.
See TDM.
(TDM): The complement of time division multiple access. The technique by which data from several sources can be sent via the same telecommunications channel by allocating a time slot for each sending source.
A method in which digital information from lower data rate channels is bit or byte interleaved into time slots on a higher data rate stream for efficient transmission. The high speed data rate is typically the aggregate of the data rate of all the lower speed channels. In time division multiplexing, the data received on the high speed line is de-multiplexed from the individual time slots and directed to each of the lower data rate channels respectively. Time division multiplexing is used in T-1 and E-1 transmission. (source)
A system of multiplexing that allocates time slices to each input channel for carrying data over an aggregate circuit.
(1) Sharing a single facility among several data paths by dividing up the channel capacity into time slices. (2) Equipment which enables the transmitting of signals over a single common path by transmitting them sequentially at different instants of time.
A technique in which time slots are allotted for transmitting a number of different data, voice, and video signals simultaneously over a single communications line. Not as efficient as ATM and IP, which do not assign specific time slots.
TDM is a transmission process in which bits belonging to different messages are transmitted at successive times on the same channel. TDM technology enables the sequential transmission of a number of signals over a single common path.
Communication channel sharing technique carrying different signals in different time slots. The division of a transmission facility into multiple channels by allotting the facility to different channels, one at a time.
A multiplexing scheme where users share a communications facility by splitting the time on the channel (at full bandwidth) rather than splitting the frequency (for a constant time).
A type of multiplexer that allocates a defined amount of backbone bandwidth for each connected device.
A type of multiplexing that combines data streams by assigning each stream a different time slot in a set. TDM repeatedly transmits a fixed sequence of time slots over a single transmission channel. Within T-Carrier systems, such as T1 and T3, TDM combines Pulse Code Modulated (PCM) streams created for each conversation or data stream.
Sharing a transmission link among multiple users by assigning time intervals to individual users during which they have entire bandwidth of system.
Multiplexing used in digital systems whereby information from several low speed transmission lines is transmitted sequentially on a single high speed transmission line.
A technique for transmitting multiple voice, data, or video signals simultaneously over the same transmission medium. TDM is a digital technique that interleaves groups of bits from each signal, one after another. Each group is assigned its own "time slot" and can be identified and extracted at the receiving end. See also time slot.
(TDM). Time division multiplexing (TDM) is a technique that shares a transmission channel between users by dividing transmission time by allotting to each device a time slot during which it can send or receive data. Time division multiplexing involves interleaving in time the narrow pulses of pulse-code modulation (PCM) or delta modulation (DM) to form one composite digital signal for transmission. De-multiplexing of the time-multiplexed pulse streams at the receiver is accomplished by gating appropriate pulses into individual channel filters.
A transmission technique where several low-speed channels are multiplexed into a high-speed channel for transmission. Each low-speed channel is allocated a specific position based on time.
A method of multiplexing dividing the available time for transmission of a signal sample into time slots that are allocated to individual connections.
A digital data transmission method that takes signals from multiple sources, divides them into pieces which are then placed periodically into time slots, transmits them down a single path and reassembles the time slots back into multiple signals on the remote end of the transmission.
The technique by which circuit-switched networks (PSTN) carry multiple voice calls over a single physical circuit.
Time Division Multiplexing exists as a transmission facility which is shared in time (as opposed to frequency). For example, the signals from several different sources share one single channel or a bus. This is done by using the bus or channel in successive time slots. It uses a discrete time slot or interval and assigns it to each signal source.
(TDM) Transmission of two or more signals on the same path, but at different times.
