What is the major advantage of Statistical TDM over Synchronous TDM?

Options

  • A. It requires no synchronization
  • B. It improves bandwidth utilization by allocating slots only to active devices
  • C. It uses separate physical cables for every device
  • D. It eliminates the need for a receiver
  • E. None of the above

Correct Answer (Detailed Explanation is Below)

B. It improves bandwidth utilization by allocating slots only to active devices

Detailed Explanation

Correct Answer: It improves bandwidth utilization by allocating slots only to active devices.

Statistical TDM assigns slots according to actual data availability, reducing the wastage of transmission capacity caused by unused fixed slots in synchronous TDM.
