Synchronous time division multiplexing is inefficient because_________.
A) data must be buffered before transmission
B) it requires the use of synchronous memory
C) the sender and receive clocks must be frequently resynchronized
D) time slots assigned to an inactive data source will not be used

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In synchronous time division multiplexing, fixed time slots are assigned to each channel or data source regardless of whether it has data to transmit or not. This means that if a particular channel has no data to send, its assigned time slot still cannot be used by another channel, leading to inefficiency.
