Under the simplest conditions, a medium can carry only one signal at any moment in time.
For multiple signals to share one medium, the medium must somehow be divided, giving each signal a portion of the total bandwidth.
Multiplexor (MUX)
Demultiplexor (DEMUX)
Sometimes just called a MUX
• Two or more simultaneous transmissions on a single circuit.
– Transparent to end user.
• Multiplexing costs less.
Frequency Division Multiplexing
Assignment of non-overlapping frequency ranges to each “user” or signal on a medium. Thus, all signals are transmitted at the same time, each using different frequencies.
A multiplexor accepts inputs and assigns frequencies to each device.
The multiplexor is attached to a high-speed communications line.
A corresponding multiplexor, or demultiplexor, is on the end of the high-speed line and separates the multiplexed signals
Time Division Multiplexing
Sharing of the signal is accomplished by dividing available transmission time on a medium among users.
Digital signaling is used exclusively.
Time division multiplexing comes in two basic forms:
1. Synchronous time division multiplexing, and
2. Statistical, or asynchronous time division multiplexing.
Synchronous Time Division Multiplexing
The original time division multiplexing.
The multiplexor accepts input from attached devices in a round-robin fashion and transmit the data in a never ending pattern.
T-1 and ISDN telephone lines are common examples of synchronous time division multiplexing
• Very popular
• Line will require as much bandwidth as all the bandwidths of the sources
