I got here looking for information on ATDMA, but I find no mention of it on Wikipedia. Perhaps someone smarter than me could start an entry? Mcj2a (talk) 04:00, 12 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I am not expert, but I believe the term TDMA is NOT derived from a type of greek sandwich. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.164.91.214 (talk) 19:10, 23 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding the line in this article " because as they move further from the base station, their signal will take longer to arrive" I am wondering if this could be clarified. Just like every other electromagnetic wave, radio waves move at the speed of light, so it is highly unlikely that distance plays a factor here. Rather, I think it must have something to do with signal strength and CSD packet loss and retransmissions that may occur at distance. Light (in a vacuum) travels at 299,792,458 metres per second So in a millisecond - which is one-thousandth of a second - it will travel 299,792.458 metres - 186.2824 miles, or 186 miles, 495 yards, 5 inches. the range of most cell towers is probably just a fraction of that. We're talking latency on the order of 3-4 hundredths of a millisecond being introduced by the distance of the receiver from the tower. Is this actually significant?

Time-division multiple access (TDMA) is a channel access method for shared-medium networks. It allows several users to share the same frequency channel by dividing the signal into different time slots.[1] The users transmit in rapid succession, one after the other, each using its own time slot. This allows multiple stations to share the same transmission medium (e.g. radio frequency channel) while using only a part of its channel capacity.
