TDMA IMO

Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) is a multi-access scheme that is used in satellite communication systems. It is based on the concept of assigning a unique timeslot to each user, so that multiple users can share the same physical medium without any interference from each other. TDMA divides the available spectrum into multiple time slots and assigns each user a fixed time slot for transmitting and receiving data. This allows the system to allocate resources more efficiently compared to other multiple access schemes, as it increases the number of users that can access the same medium. TDMA is an important part of the International Maritime Organization's satellite communication system, which is used by ships to communicate with shore stations when they are out of range of shore-based communication systems. TDMA allows multiple users to share the same frequency, which helps optimize communication bandwidth and reduce interference.
