[Time-division multiplexing] is... usually subdivided into the following categories : 1. Synchronous time-division multiplexing(STDM). 2. Asynchronous time-division multiplexing(ATDM). 3. Message-switching multiplexing(MSM).... It should be noted that a time slot in STDM is allotted for a channel even in the absence of data on that channel. ATDM(sometimes called "statistical multiplexing") overcomes this inefficiency by allotting time slots only for the active channels. 3, record 6, English, - synchronous%20time%20division%20multiplexing
