Mobile Telecommunications Networks Questions
What is the term used for the technology that allows multiple users to share the same spatial area in a cellular network without interfering with each other?
-
Frequency reuse
-
Time division multiple access (TDMA)
-
Code division multiple access (CDMA)
-
Space division multiple access (SDMA)
D
Correct answer
Explanation
Space division multiple access (SDMA) is the technology that allows multiple users to share the same spatial area in a cellular network without interfering with each other. This is done by using directional antennas to focus the signals from the base station to the users.
