Real-world applications of multiplexing and multiple access: From satellite communications to the Internet of Things
Multiplexing and multiple access are two important techniques that are used to improve the efficiency and capacity of communication systems. These techniques are used in many different fields and applications, from satellite communications to the Internet of Things (IoT). In this post, we will explore some of the real-world applications of multiplexing and multiple access and the challenges and future developments in these areas. Satellite communications are one of the most important applications of multiplexing and multiple access. Satellites are used to provide communication services to remote and hard-to-reach areas, such as ships, airplanes, and remote locations. Multiplexing and multiple access techniques are used to increase the capacity and efficiency of satellite communications. For example, frequency division multiplexing (FDM) is used to divide the available bandwidth into different frequency bands, and time division multiplexing (TDM) is used to divide the availab...
