1980s Bell Laboratories logo, used from 1984 until 1995 In 1980, the TDMA and CDMA digital cellular telephone technology was patented.
A CDM (synchronous CDMA), TDMA, or FDMA receiver can in theory completely reject arbitrarily strong signals using different codes, time slots or frequency channels due to the orthogonality of these systems.
A disadvantage of TDMA systems is that they create interference at a frequency which is directly connected to the time slot length.
A major advantage of TDMA is that the radio part of the mobile only needs to listen and broadcast for its own time slot.
FlexRay protocol which is also a wired network used for safety-critical communication in modern cars, uses the TDMA method for data transmission control.
Comparison with other multiple-access schemes In radio systems, TDMA is usually used alongside Frequency-division multiple access (FDMA) and Frequency division duplex (FDD); the combination is referred to as FDMA/TDMA/FDD.
