Approach SDMA TDMA FDMA CDMA

Signal Cell structure, Synchronization in time Filtering in Code plus special receivers.

scheme

Cell capacity Depends on Limited Limited No absolute limit on channel

cell area capacity but it is an
interference limited system

Advantages Very simple, Established fully digital, Simple, Flexible, less frequency
increases flexible established, planning needed, so
capacity per robust handover

Disadvantages Inflexible, Guard space needed Inflexible, Complex receivers, needs

antennas (multipath propagation), frequencies more complicated power
typically fixed synchronization di icult are scarce control for senders
resource

Comment Only in Standards in fixed Typically Still faces some problems,

combination networks, together with combined higher complexity, lowered
with TDMA, FDMA or SDMA used in with TDMA expectations, will be
FDMA or CDMA many mobile networks and SDMA integrated with TDMA or
useful FDMA
