Differentiate between: a.) CDMA and FDMA b.) CDMA and TDMA

a.) CDMA and FDMA

CDMA

Same frequency is used by every user and simultaneous transmission occurs

Every narrowband signal is multiplied by wideband spreading signal, usually known as codeword

Every user has a separate pseudo-codeword, i.e., orthogonal to others

Only the desired codeword is detected by the receivers and others appear as noise

It is mandatory for the receivers to know about the transmitter's codeword

FDMA

When the channel is not in use, it sits simply idle

Bandwidth of Channel is relatively narrow (30 KHz), known as narrowband system

Little or no equalization is needed for spreading symbol time

Analog links are suitable for FDMA

Framing or synchronization bits are not needed for continuous transmission

Tight filtering is needed to minimize interference

Combined with FDD for duplexing

b.) CDMA and TDMA

CDMA

Power limited system

While people talking, random noise band playing occurs

Conversation need to be extracted from the background din

GP is high when people speak different languages, which is easier to distinguish individual speakers

It is difficult for distinguishing individuals, when GP is low.

The system performance will be degraded for every user when the number of users increases.

Fading would be reduced with wide frequency spectrum

Need to have separate multipath signals with different delays by "chip" unit.

TDMA

Receiving or transmission is allowed for only one user in a given slot

All slots are assigned cyclically

The transmission is non-continuous

It is essential to use digital data and modulation

Data rate overhead is between 20% - 30%

Overhead tradeoffs are size of data payload and latency

Multiple users are shared with single carrier frequency

Handoff is made simpler by using non-continuous transmission

All slots are assigned on demand

Due to reduced inter user interference, the power control is less stringent

What is the basic difference between ofdma and sc-fdma?

The basic difference between OFDMA and SC-FDMA is that, there there is an additional block of N point DFT before the sub-channel mapping in SC-FDMA. This will effectively reduce the PAPR, thus the power amplifier will have a lesser linear range in SC-FDMA when compared with OFDMA


Why is TDMA better than FDMA?

In CDMA all the stations can sends data simultaneously. But in FDMA only one channel occupies the entire bandwidth of the link so each channel can be assigned to only one user at a time. So CDMA is better than FDMA.

What type of multiple access service used in satellite?

In satellite communications, the most common multiple access techniques are Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA), Frequency Division Multiple Access (FDMA), and Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA). TDMA allocates time slots for different users to transmit their signals, while FDMA assigns specific frequency bands to each user. CDMA uses unique codes to allow multiple users to share the same frequency band simultaneously. Each technique has its advantages and is chosen based on the specific requirements of the satellite communication system.
