We connect with one tap.
But behind that tap are access techniques.
Multiple access techniques make wireless possible.
They allow networks to share spectrum efficiently.
The result?
→ Higher capacity
→ Stronger security
→ Better quality
Here are 10 you should know:
CDMA – Code Division Multiple Access
OFDMA – Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access
NOMA – Non-Orthogonal Multiple Access
PDMA – Polarization Division Multiple Access
IDMA – Interleave Division Multiple Access
SCMA – Sparse Code Multiple Access
PDMA – Pattern Division Multiple Access
SMMA – Spatial Multiplexing Multiple Access
RSMA – Rate-Splitting Multiple Access
CQ MAC – Computation-Aided Quantum Multiple Access
These techniques are not static.
They evolve with every generation — 5G and beyond.
New methods emerge.
Old ones get smarter.
Together, they shape the wireless future.
So, if you’re in telecom, start here.
Because understanding access is the first step to mastering wireless.
