Does anyone know anything about GAIN DIFFERENCE MULTIPLEXING, perhaps in relation to QAM?

Broad range of definitions
This article is going to need a better introduction if it is to cover the non-electrical definitions of multiplexing. There is even a form of DNA science which involves a method called multiplexing! 64.13.11.134 09:44, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

I agree. There isn't a mentition of multiplexing in the sense of roads, where two roads, say I-9¾ and I-0, share the same physical roadway. --Christhebull 19:18, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

I would say that from local area networks, the frame tagging as specified in 802.1Q can also be seen as a form of multiplexing - the frame tagging allows various VLANs to use a single trunk line (interconnection) between to switches while maintaining the diversity and isolation of the individual VLANs. The same is with telephone calls, for example, that are multiplexed in the carrier lines. Paluchpeter 12:41, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

I added an update on the number of HD channels in a DVB multiplex. Reslfj (talk) 13:40, 20 February 2009 (UTC)

Muxing = Multiplexing
There is a redirect from Muxing to Multiplexing. Is muxing just a synonym of multiplexing? Or maybe just for some uses of the term multiplexing? It would be great if someone could clarify this in the text!

CDMA
Is CDMA another basic form of multiplexing apart from TDM and FDM? Zuxy 09:47, 13 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Well CDMA is multiple-access rather than multiplexing. But the corresponding multiplexing technique is called code-division multiplexing (CDM), today forwarded to the CDMA article, but perhaps it should be forwarded to spread spectrum instead? Mange01 (talk) 18:04, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

This page could use a table of contents. That's all I'm sayin'. --74.62.116.35 (talk) 11:02, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

Higher layer multiplexing
This article is currently only about physical layer multiplexing.

The TCP/IP model transport layer and the OSI model session layer also provides multiplexing, by dividing the data into segments, adding a port number. On the receiver side, the Network socket software provides demultiplexing.

As pointed out above, Virual LANs and IEEE802.11q provides multiplexing at the data link layer.

How and where should this be discussed? Mange01 (talk) 14:17, 20 February 2009 (UTC)

"chip times" in Code-division multiplexing
What does "chip times" in the Code-division multiplexing section mean? 204.210.242.157 (talk) 21:22, 10 May 2010 (UTC) Is this what is meant by chip in chip times? 204.210.242.157 (talk) 21:35, 10 May 2010 (UTC)

Merge proposal
I don't think this would be too controversial, though I'm starting a discussion to make sure. The subject that is listed in Multiplex (TV) seems to be the same subject mentioned in Multiplexing. Most of what is in Multiplex (TV) could be added to the "Digital broadcasting" section of Multicasting. Steel1943 (talk) 02:18, 24 May 2014 (UTC)

Support merge- They're one and the same concept, muxing, multiplex television, and multiplexing. Just different words for an identical concept. This should be put through- 7 months, only 2 comments, seems to dictate this is non-controversial... Cesium 133 (talk) 04:04, 29 December 2014 (UTC)

Disagree- They are actually totally different. Same concept yes, different purpose. One doesn't merge a sea lane with a tar-sealed road, to get planes to fly in the "same" destinations. At the same time of day, same number of passengers, of the same reason = to get there.

When one uses water (boats), one doesn't, (it uses wheels) and the third, you didn't even think about, until now.!!!

The MUX + MUX-TV "pages" are, (as they say) in the same "boat". but NOT in the same ocean./!!!

The above analogy is rough, but works.

So too does a 10 ch analogue lighting display board, built in 1968 (maybe with permanently borrowed Bakelite miniature Edison-screw bases, but it works. And has done for almost 50 years, from a 50+ year discovery. Apparently, my "reasoning" and my provable [link] to several videos on youtube, as well as sold items never returned by happy customers, for over 50 years, has no benefit. And the reason was denied. Please "do not merge". 115.188.60.103 (talk) 05:43, 17 January 2016 (UTC)
