TDMA

TDMA (Time Division Multiple Access) is a channel access method for shared medium networks. It allows multiple users to share the same frequency channel by dividing the signal into different time slots. The key aspects are: - Earth stations transmit synchronized bursts that do not overlap within a TDMA frame. Each station has the full bandwidth during its burst. - Advantages include full bandwidth and power utilization per burst. Disadvantages include needing to find user information within bursts and sending additional synchronization data. - Frames can use pre-assigned or demand-assigned time slots. Satellite switched TDMA uses multiple beams to provide regional services.

Time Division Multiple

Access (TDMA)
TDMA
•Different Earth stations transmit traffic bursts in a period time-frame
called the TDMA frame.

•Over the length of a burst, each Earth station has the entire transponder
bandwidth at its disposal.

•The traffic bursts from different Earth stations are synchronized so that
all bursts arriving at the transponder are closely spaced but do not overlap.

• The transponder works on a single burst at a time and retransmits back


to Earth a sequence of bursts.

•All Earth stations can receive the entire sequence and extract the signal
of their interest.
Advantages of TDMA
•Utilize full BW and EIRP.

•No intermodulation is required.

Disadvantage
• When burst are received at earth stations then it need to find in burst
where its information is present.

• Lot of additional information also need to sent along with data due to
synchronization.
Pre-assigned TDMA
•The time slots are pre-assigned to the Earth stations.

•The slot allocations are pre-determined and do not offer flexibility.

Demand assigned TDMA


The time slots are allotted to the Earth stations on request from the control
station
Satellite Switched TDMA
Several antenna spot beams are utilized to provide services
to different regions on the Earth’s surface
Interleaved burst that will be transmitted down to the ground the receiver needs
to find the information which the information, where it is, the information meant
for him, in the bursts.

Search and Find the carrier frequency


Carrier Recovery (CR) Time

Search and find the transmission bit timing and synchronize the bits with clock.
Bit Time Recovery (BTR) and Bit synchronization time

Search and find start of data in the bit stream.


Presence of unique pattern

Guard Time
at different station transmission clock may vary hence each burst are
separated by some time.
TDMA Frame structure

Overhead bits = Reference burst bit + Preamble bits + Guard time

Satellite Switched TDMA
Advance multiple access for high traffic scenario.
Used in INTELSAT satellite.
Several antenna spot beams are utilized to provide services
to different regions on the Earth’s surface
If multiple antenna beams can be reconfigured very fast then
additional access capabilities can be added and number of users
can be increased.
Important Problem

A digital system uses a satellite transponder with a bandwidth of 54 MHz. Several earth stations share
the transponder using QPSK modulation with either FDMA or TDMA. When FDMA is used, total
C/NO that can be supported for a full transponder is 95 dBHz. Receive station G/T is -10 dB/K, free
space loss is 192 dB and miscellaneous loss is 6.6 dB. Each carrier bandwidth is 1.2 MHz. When
TDMA is used, the number of reference bursts is 2, the reference burst bit is 576, preamble for each
user burst is 560 bit, guard time equivalent is 128 bit, frame efficiency is 85% and TDMA
transmission rate is 120 Mbps. Find

(i) The number of carriers that can be supported in case of FDMA.

(ii) TDMA frame time if the number of carriers is same in the case of FDMA and TDMA.
