Frequency Division Multiple Access (FDMA)
➢ Sub bands (channels) have been decided earlier but the
allocation has to be done dynamically as and when the number
of users switch on their phones and intend to talk.
➢ If we space users far apart along the y axis, it means they have
less adjacent channel interference.

Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA)
➢ We have sub divided the time axis amongst n users. in effect, we have n
times slots where user 1 uses slot 1, user 2 slot 2 and so forth till the slot
n. each user is speaking or communicating in its own time slot.
➢ After n time slots are over, time slot 1 will repeat followed by 2, 3 and so
and so forth.
➢ Clearly this does not imply that your voice will appear broken at the
receiver end.
