| | Cellular Networking Perspectives: TDMA Digital |
 | | TDMA, as defined in TIA IS-54, IS-136, and TIA/EIA-136 theoretically triples the capacity of cellular frequencies (the actual gain is between 2 and 3 times over analog), by dividing a 30 khz cellular channel into 3–8 kbps timeslots, which supports 3 users in strict alternation. | | | An update on the network impact of new Digital Control Channel (DCCH) features was published in the October and November, 1997 issues. | | | people that don't talk over each other), this technique can almost double the spectral efficiency of TDMA once again, bringing it to about 10:1 over analog. |
