Fixed Assignment Schemes
❖ It is also called as circuit switched scheme.
❖ The Resource or Channel is shared by nodes based on
Time, Frequency or Code.
❖ There are three types of schemes available
➢ Frequency Division Multiple Access ( FDMA ).
➢ Time Division Multiple Access ( TDMA ).
➢ Code Division Multiple Access ( CDMA ).

Frequency Division Multiple Access ( FDMA )
❖ In FDMA the available bandwidth is divided into many
narrow frequency band called channels.
❖ Each user need a two link
➢ Forward link ( Mobile to Base Station ).
➢ Reverse Link ( Base Station to Mobile ).
❖ Two channels are allocated to one user.
❖ These 2 channels are unable to allocate to other users
while on use.
Frequency Division Multiple Access ( FDMA )
❖ User never always uses this channel.
❖ When user on idle the channel utilization is very low.
❖ Implementation of this protocol is very easy.
❖ Big disadvantage is poor channel utilization

Time Division Multiple Access ( TDMA )
❖ TDMA allows the user to use multiple channels based
on different time slots.
❖ All sources are uses the same channel but it will wait
for time slots.
❖ The time slots are allocated in the round robin manner.
❖ Unused time slot makes the channel idle so this to
leads to poor utilization of channel.

Code 3
Code Division Multiple Access ( TDMA )
❖ In CDMA Technology multiple users can use the same
channel same time.
❖ No scheduling is needed.
❖ Message or data is encoded in the one end and
decripted in the other end.
❖ Lot of users data are encoded and multiplexed and
send in to same channel at time.
❖ Each user uses only one code.
Code Division Multiple Access ( TDMA )
❖ Maximum utilization of channel is obtained.
❖ But we need a special mechanism to generate code as
well encode and decode.
❖ Quite expensive procedure when compared to FDMA
and TDMA.
