TDMA is a type of [[time-division multiplexing]] (TDM), with the special point that instead of having one [[transmitter]] connected to one [[Receiver (radio)|receiver]], there are multiple transmitters. In the case of the ''[[uplink]]'' from a [[mobile phone]] to a [[base station]] this becomes particularly difficult because the mobile phone can move around and vary the ''timing advance'' required to make its transmission match the gap in transmission from its peers.
 
After [[Frequency-division multiple access]], TDMA is the second most popular mechanism for communication using satellites. In case of TDMA, there is no modulation of frequencies (unlike FDMA). Instead, the transmitting earth station transmits data in the form of packets of data. These data packets arrive at the satellite one by one.
