The technology that enables multiple users to share same frequency by dividing time into slots is called ________.

  1. O(1)
  2. PTES
  3. TDMA
  4. F1

Answer: TDMA

TDMA (Time Division Multiple Access) divides radio frequency into time slots, assigning each user a specific slot for transmission. Used in 2G GSM networks. Contrasts with FDMA (frequency division) and CDMA (code division). 4G/5G use OFDMA which combines time and frequency division with orthogonal subcarriers for higher efficiency.
