复用和多址的联系和区别

自己想弄明白的，在网上找到了:

 

复用和多址的联系和区别在Glossory of Telecommunication Terms中的解释

multiplexing (MUXing): The combining of two or more information channels onto a common transmission medium.
multipoint(multiple) access: Access in which more than one terminal is supported by a single network termination.(比如一个基站支持多个移动台的情况)。
duplex operation: Operating method in which transmission is possible simultaneously, in both directions of a telecommunication channel.

由此可见，multiplexing翻译为“复用”较好；deplexing翻译为“双工”较好；multiple access翻译为“多址”不是很好，其实准确地讲应当是“多点接入”。

Medium与Resource也是应当区分的。
A typical characteristic of wireless communications is that the medium, that is, the air interface, must be shared among different applications (e.g., radio and television, mobile cellular systems, LANs), and within a certain application between different users (radio and television stations, subscribers).
Generally, a medium offers a number of resources each of which or a combination of which can be subdivided into several channels by the process of multiplexing.
在无线通信中，the medium is the air interfaces,the resource is SPACE，TIME， 复用，汉语词典意思是重复运用。把multiplex翻译成复用，感觉有点不妥。multiplex并不是真正的重复使用。比如说FDM，并不是重复使用同一个频率段，而是每个用户占据一定的带宽，带宽是不重叠的。可以说是复用了整个带宽。但并不是频率复用。

真正的频率复用，比如说蜂窝系统，这个就是频率的重复使用了~干扰足够小的2个小区是使用相同的频率段的~

可以把这种译法当做是约定俗成。

就像Pulse Code Modulation（脉冲编码调制），其实并不是一种调制方式，而是一种模拟到数字的转换方法。

注一：

空分复用(SDM，Space Division Multiplexing)即多对电线或光纤共用1条缆的复用方式。比如5类线就是4对双绞线共用1条缆，还有市话电缆(几十对)也是如此。能够实现空分复用的前提条件是光纤或电线的直径很小，可以将多条光纤或多对电线做在一条缆内，既节省外护套的材料又便于使用。
