Encyclopedia > Statistical multiplexing

Statistical multiplexing is similar to time-division multiplexing (TDM), except that, rather than arbitrarily assigning a time slot to each signal, each signal is assigned a slot according to priority and need. Time-division multiplexing (TDM) is a type of digital multiplexing in which two or more apparently simultaneous channels are derived from a given frequency spectrum, i. ...


Which means, it is an "on demand" service rather than a fixed one.


Statistical multiplexing ensures that slots will not be wasted (in refernce to TDM) BUT this in turn wastes time. Also, data may be lost due to buffer overflow.

Planar: LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) technology explained (1457 words)
As the twist is increased, the LC molecules in the middle of the layer are aligned with the applied electric field by smaller changes in voltage.
A multiplexed LCD is partitioned as a matrix consisting of M rows and N columns.
The maximum acceptable multiplex order depends on the sharpness of the contrast vs. voltage curve, required operating temperature range, and the viewing cone requirements of the particular application.
Statistical multiplexing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (344 words)
Statistical multiplexing is a type of time-domain multiplexing for transferring several data streams with varying data rates over a digital channel.
Statistical multiplexing allows the bandwidth to be divided arbitrarily among a variable number of channels (while the number of channels and the channel data rate are fixed in TDM).
Statistical multiplexing is used to allow several video, audio and data streams of different data rates to be transmitted over a bandwidth-limited channel (see Statistical multiplexer).
