Line 1:

In [[telecommunications]], '''pulse-address multiple access''' ('''PAMA''') is a [[channel access method]] that enables the ability of a communication [[satellite]] to receive signals from several Earth terminals simultaneously and to amplify, translate, and [[relay]] the signals back to Earth, based on the addressing of each [[Ground station|station]] by an [[assignment]] of a unique combination of [[time]] and [[frequency]] slots.

''Note:'' This ability may be restricted by allowing only some of the terminals [[Access control|access]] to the satellite at any given time.
