Asynchronous Time Division Multiplexing (ATDM) is a method of transmitting multiple digital signals over a single communication channel. In ATDM, each signal is divided into individual data packets or cells, which are transmitted over the channel in an interleaved manner, with no fixed time slot allocation for each signal. ATDM is often used in high-speed networks, such as ATM (Asynchronous Transfer Mode) networks, to efficiently utilize the available bandwidth and handle bursts of traffic. However, ATDM is more complex than synchronous TDM, and requires sophisticated multiplexing and demultiplexing equipment to synchronize the signals at the receiver end.
