TDMA is equivalent to everyone who speaks the same language at a cocktail party trying to converse with someone, as the party gets louder, everyone becomes louder to be heard and understood by the person that they're conversing with. It's difficult to be "understood" in this situation because of too much interference. CDMA is a party where everyone conversing share a different unique language and everyone is whispering. It's easy to converse and there is no interference with your particular conversation. Jim

>>CDMA vs. TDMA in terms of people at a cocktail party? That was in fact the inspiration for Hedi Lamarr's original CDMA patent; that with CDMA you could hear anybody talking in the crowd and if you could process fast enough, you could understand all the talkers(e.g. base station keeping up with all the mobiles below). On the other hand with TDMS, all talkers talk taking their turns one at a time. Regards, s.a.
