Satellite Switched TDMA-FAQs
What are the benefits of TDMA?
Efficient Sharing, Reduced Interference, Increased Capacity, Simultaneous Connection are some of the benefits of Satellite Switched TDMA.
What is the difference between Satellite Switched TDMA and traditional TDMA?
Traditional TDMA assigns fixed time slots to each users whereas Satellite Switched TDMA dynamically assigns time slots based on demand, optimizing bandwidth usage.
What are the limitations of SSTDMA?
The dynamic assignment of time slots increases complexity of the mechanism and may introduce additional delays compared to fixed-time TDMA.
Satellite Switched TDMA in Computer Networks
Satellite Switched TDMA is a method used in satellite communication to efficiently allocate transmission time slots to different users. In this method the satellite acts like a traffic controller, giving each station a specific time interval to send and receive data. This process prevents interference and ensures that multiple stations can use the same satellite without any overlapping in signals.
