The major difference between tdma and fdma lies in their different ways of allocating resources. Fdma is often referred to as phase one of the narrowbanding effort. This method separates channels by frequency, so if users want to have two channels theyll have two separate frequencies. It allows several users to share the same frequency channel by dividing the signal into different time slots. Standards in fixed networks, together with fdma or sdma used in many mobile networks. Divide the bandwidth of the communication medium into n nonoverlapping frequency slots and assign a slot to each user upon request. It defines the topological areas cells with different carrier frequencies, and sets time slots within each cell. The number of channels that can be simultaneously supported in a fdma system is.

The first technique is called frequency division multiple access fdma. Only one terminal can be active in one cell or one sector.
Single carrier frequency division multiple access sc fdma which utilizes single carrier modulation at the transmitter and frequency domain equalization at the receiver is a technique that has similar performance and essentially the same overall structure as. The fdma element divides the assigned frequency of 25 mhz bandwidth into 124 carrier frequencies, all spaced 200 khz apart. Time division multiple access tdma network encyclopedia. Fdma, just like any other multiple access system, harmonizes access between multiple users. The major disadvantage of fdma is the relatively expensive and complicated bandpass filters required. Time division multiple access, or tdma, is a cellular phone technology based on timedivision multiplexing tdm techniques. It is used to facilitate channel sharing without interference. When the term tdma is used, it is referring to two slot tdma. Many of the problems experienced in tdma due to different propagation delays are eliminated in fdma. Time division multiple access tdma is an analog cellular phone technology that evolved from the advanced mobile phone service amps, which was developed in 1979.

In this case, each channel will be operated in a particular frequency band for a particular time frame. Gsm uses both time division multiple access tdma and frequency division multiple access fdma for user and ell separation.
Frequency division multiple access fdma splits the channel frequency into two smaller subchannels that can carry separate calls sidebyside. Another advantage of tdma is that the power consumption will be very low. An analogy could be the still shot frame rates in cinema, where at around 30 frames per second it gives the illusion of continuous movement but it is actually a time shuttling exercise. Segments sending time into disjoint time slots demand driven or fixed patterns. In time division multiple access tdma, the available channel bandwidth in its entirety is used by every user, but the users take turns in making use of the channel in a timely manner.
