Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA), developed by
the ANSI-accredited Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA), is digital transmission
technology that allocates unique time slots to each user within each channel.
The two major (competing) systems that split the cellular market are TDMA and
CDMA. Because of its adoption by the European standard GSM, and the Japanese
Digital Cellular (JDC), TDMA and its variants are currently the technology of
choice throughout the world. However, third-generation wireless networks will
use CDMA, not TDMA.
