Which system allows the entire bandwidth to be available to each user at the same time?

Which system allows the entire bandwidth to be available to each user at the same time? Correct Answer CDMA

CSMA stands for Carrier Sense Multiple Access. 

  • It is a Media Access Control (MAC) protocol that is used to control the flow of data in a transmission media so that packets do not get lost and data integrity is maintained.
  • There are two modifications to CSMA: 1) CSMA CD (Collision Detection) and 2) CSMA CA (Collision Avoidance)


CDMA stands for Code Division Multiple Access.

  • It is a channel access method used by various radio communication technologies.
  • The principle of the spread spectrum is used to work with CDMA.
  • CDMA is not frequency specific to each user, instead, every channel uses the full available spectrum.
  • Each user in a CDMA system uses a different code to modulate their signal.


FDMA stands for Frequency Division Multiple Access.

  • >FDMA is a channel access method used in some multiple-access protocols.
  • >FDMA allows multiple users to send data through a single communication channel, such as a coaxial cable or microwave beam, by dividing the bandwidth of the channel into separate non-overlapping frequency sub-channels and allocating each sub-channel to a separate user.
  • Users can send data through a sub-channel by modulating it on a carrier wave at the sub-channels frequency.
  • >FDMA is not vulnerable to timing errors.

Important Points

Time-division multiple access (TDMA)

  • This is a channel access method for shared-medium networks.
  • It allows several users to share the same frequency channel by dividing the signal into different time slots.
  • The users transmit in rapid succession, one after the other, each using its own time slot. This allows multiple stations to share the same transmission medium (e.g. radio frequency channel) while using only a part of its channel capacity.
  • TDMA is vulnerable to timing errors.

Paddy transplantation in Punjab is a very hard labor-intensive back-breaking job. In the transplant season, teams of special people swarm the entire rural landscape employed by the farmers and can be seen laboring away in the fields under the hot sweltering sun. Farmer Jagtar Singh has a full-time help at his sprawling farm who goes by the name of Hari, and who hails from Allahabad, UP. During the paddy transplant season, it is up to Hari to rope in his brothers, sons, and cousins from his native village to complete the task well in time. All his people are skillful and masters of the trade and equally efficient at their jobs. So, this past season, this is how the work went. Hari started the work and after 't' hours was joined in by his brother Jaggi. After another 't' hours, Neelu, their cousin, also jumped into the fray. So, after every 't' hours, 1 person kept on joining the team of already working men, and this process kept on continuing till the completion of the work. The last person worked for 't' hours. In the last season, the very same men had completed the same work working 2 shifts of 12 hours all of them working simultaneously owing to some peculiar weather conditions and time constraints. Jagtar Singh is a fair and just paymaster which is why he faces no labor shortage at this crucial time and which is why the whole 'Hari clan' are more than happy to work for him and are at his beck and call. He pays each of them individually proportional to the work done by them. This time around, Hari received 11 times as much as Surinder, his eldest son, who was the last person to join in. In how much time was the work completed?
