Abstract

Multiplexing is a technique that allows a number of lower bandwidth communication channels to be combined and transmitted over a higher bandwidth channel. At the receiving end, demultiplexing recovers the original lower bandwidth channels. The main reason for multiplexing is to make efficient use of the full bandwidth of the communication channel and to achieve a lower cost per bit transmitted.
