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?

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?
