TDMA

Code Division Multiple Access and Time Division Multiple Access dual-mode cellular telephones that aid in the receiving of fax and computer network data on computers and PDAs. (See also Wireless Glossary of Terms , CDPD , Networks and PDA )

TDMA is a method of dividing a single analog channel into a number of time slots and assigning each user a distinct time slot within a given channel. This lets more users (usually three) access a channel at one time without interference. TDMA is one of the standard digital cellular technologies, along with CDMA. GSM is a variant.(Wireless Glossary of Terms )

Sort for Time Division Multiple Access, a technology for delivering digital wireless service using time-division multiplexing (TDM). TDMA works by dividing a radio frequency into time slots and then allocating slots to multiple calls. In this way, a single frequency can support multiple, simultaneous data channels. TDMA is used by the GSM digital cellular system.
