ABSTRACT:
Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) is being utilized widely in domestic and international communication networks. The types of TDMA networks in operation fall into two categories: Wideband and Narrowband. In the past few years, a number of Wideband and Narrowband TDMA networks have gone into operation. However, these networks have typically operated as independent nets. As the existing Wideband TDMA networks expand into cities with a smaller amount of originating traffic, a major economic problem occurs. It becomes difficult to justify the cost of a Wideband TDMA station for the smaller amount of traffic.
This invention presents an approach that solves the above problem by providing an integrated network with Wideband TDMA for the large cities and Narrowband TDMA for the smaller cities.
