Parameter | CDMA | FDMA | TDMA |
---|---|---|---|
Concept | Every bit of a conversation is been tagged with a specific and unique code. | It is a technology by which the total bandwidth available to the system is divided into frequencies. This division is done between non overlapping frequencies that are then assigned to each communicating pair | In TDMA the division of calls happens on time basis. The system first digitizes the calls, and then combines those conversations into a unified digital stream on a single radio channel. |
key resources | Codes | Frequency | ActiveTime period |
Sharing of resources | Sharing of resources is done through codes (PN sequence) | In FDMA each user is allotted a frequency, through which communication can be done all the time | In TDMA total available frequency is given to user for a particular time period |
bandwidth | here entire bandwidth is shared among different users by assigning unique codes | here entire band of frequencies is divided into multiple RF channels/carriers. Each carrier is allocated to different users. | here entire bandwidth is shared among different subscribers at fixed predetermined or dynamically assigned time intervals/slots. |
System flexibility | Flexible System | Less flexible than TDMA & CDMA | Less flexible than CDMA, More Flexible than FDMA |
System complexity | Complex system | Less Complex than TDMA & CDMA | Less Complex than CDMA, More Flexible than FDMA |
