A simple TDMA system for satellite data communications networks
Abstract
A simple TDMA system is proposed for use in digital data networks which would use a much longer time frame than that required for a digital telephony network. This allows a long guard time between earth stations' transmissions which simplifies considerably the acquisition and synchronisation equipment in the TDMA terminals. TDMA enables the network to contain channels of different and even variable capacities and also enables groups of users to operate either independently or to share communications capacity. TDMA thus provides the maximum flexibility for allocating network capacity.
