    TDD and FDD

    Uploaded by

    TDD and FDD are two methods for duplexing in wireless communication. TDD uses a single frequency for transmission and reception with a guard period between, while FDD uses separate channels for transmission and reception. TDD can easily adjust capacity between uplink and downlink by changing time slots, and works for both small and large coverage distances with some added latency. FDD introduces no latency as channels are always open but requires duplexers and a paired spectrum.

    • Doesn’t require the use of duplexers • The Guard Band between UL and Dl
    which is an expensive device to band doesn’t affect the system
    separate the sending and receiving capacity
    frequency • Better Hardware lifetime as no
    • Doesn’t need a paired spectrum for switching for the circuits from
    Pros UL and DL reception to transmission
    • Possibility of dynamic change of
    UL/DL ratio based on the need and
    service
    • Channel is reciprocal in UL and DL

    • The Guard period between the DL • Use of duplexers


    and UL slots reduce the system • Need of a paired spectrum
    capacity
    Cons • Cross slot interference exists between • Channel is not reciprocal in UL and DL
    UL and DL slots
