DAMA = Demand Assigned Multiple Access It's usually an automated communications channel sharing scheme which allows a pool of users to efficiently: 1. Request access to a shared pool of channels 2. Be queued in order of their request 3. Make their call 4. Then smoothly pass the channel to next user Net result is efficient sharing of available communications channels among a set of users much larger than the number of channels; [As opposed to dedication of only a single user to a single channel full time; in which case that channel resource sits idle when the dedicated user happens not to be using it ] Hope this helps--
