147 results about "Time division multiple access" patented technology

Time-division multiple access (TDMA) is a channel access method for shared-medium networks. It allows several users to share the same frequency channel by dividing the signal into different time slots. The users transmit in rapid succession, one after the other, each using its own time slot. This allows multiple stations to share the same transmission medium (e.g. radio frequency channel) while using only a part of its channel capacity. TDMA is used in the digital 2G cellular systems such as Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM), IS-136, Personal Digital Cellular (PDC) and iDEN, and in the Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications (DECT) standard for portable phones. TDMA was first used in satellite communication systems by Western Union in its Westar 3 communications satellite in 1979. It is now used extensively in satellite communications, combat-net radio systems, and passive optical network (PON) networks for upstream traffic from premises to the operator. For usage of Dynamic TDMA packet mode communication, see below.

Coordinated time division multiple access (c-TDMA) in wi-fi networks for partial bandwidth transmission opportunity (TXOP) sharing

This disclosure provides methods, components, devices and systems for coordinated time division multiple access (C-TDMA) in Wi-Fi networks for partial bandwidth transmission opportunity (TXOP) sharing. Some aspects more specifically relate to coordinating TXOP sharing in time and frequency. In some examples, a first access point (AP) obtains a TXOP associated with a bandwidth, allocates a duration of the TXOP to a second AP, and selectively communicates with one or more stations (STAs) associated with the first AP via a first portion of the bandwidth within the duration of the TXOP. In other words, the first AP may selectively communicate with one or more STAs associated with the first AP within the duration of the TXOP that the first AP shared with the second AP. Various disclosed protocols and mechanisms further relate to using resources that would otherwise be unutilized within a framework of coordinated medium access.
