How does time division multiplexing work??

What will be an ideal response?


Suppose an instructor in a classroom poses a controversial question to students. In response, a number of hands shoot up, and the instructor calls on each student, one at a time. It is the instructor's responsibility to make sure that only one student talks at any given moment, so that each individual's response is heard. In a relatively crude way, the instructor is a time division multiplexor, giving each user (student) a moment in time to transmit data (express an opinion to the rest of the class). In a similar fashion, a time division multiplexor calls on one input device after another, giving each device a turn at transmitting its data over a high-speed line. Suppose two users, A and B, wish to transmit data over a shared medium to a distant computer. We can create a rather simple time division multiplexing scheme by allowing user A to transmit during the first second, then user B during the following second, followed again by user A during the third second, and so on.?
