Understanding Multiplexing Schemes: TDM, FDM, and CDMA in Computer Networks
The Physical Layer – Multiplexing Details
CSC 570 Computer Networks Fall 2016
Motivation
Multiplexing schemes are used to share communication lines among many signals.
In a way, it is similar to people having many conversations in the same room. How?
Multiplexing Schemes
- Time Division Multiplexing (TDM)
- Frequency Division Multiplexing (FDM)
- Code Division Multiplexing (CDM)
Time Division Multiplexing
It’s like people taking turns in speaking. TDM shares a channel over time.
Users take turns on a fixed schedule;

SQLite Trigger
Key Points
- Triggers are database callback functions executed automatically upon specific events (DELETE, INSERT, UPDATE).
- SQLite supports FOR EACH ROW triggers, not FOR EACH STATEMENT triggers.
- WHEN clause allows conditional trigger execution.
- BEFORE or AFTER keyword determines trigger timing relative to the event.
- Triggers are dropped automatically when their associated table is dropped.
- The RAISE() function can be used within a trigger to raise an exception.
Trigger Syntax

Database Transactions and Concurrency Control
Transactions
In a database, a transaction is a logical unit that is executed independently for data retrieval or updates. Relational databases require transactions to be atomic, consistent, isolated, and durable (ACID).
Concurrency Control
Without concurrency control, two problems can arise:
- Lost update: When two transactions read the old value of a variable and use it to calculate a new value, leading to data loss.
- Inconsistent retrievals: A retrieval transaction

Concurrency Control in Database Management Systems
Introduction
Concurrency control is the process of managing the simultaneous execution of transactions in a shared database to ensure data integrity and consistency. This is crucial to prevent issues like lost updates, uncommitted data, and inconsistent retrievals.
Why Concurrency Control is Needed
Simultaneous execution of transactions can lead to several data integrity and consistency problems, including:
- Lost Updates: When two transactions try to
Understanding Computer Systems: Software, Hardware, and Operating Systems
Application Information
This refers to a set of programs and documentation designed to complete specific tasks. It includes both the software applications and the accompanying user manuals or guides.
Basic Software (Operating System)
The operating system (OS) is essential software that manages a computer’s hardware and software resources. It acts as an intermediary between applications and the hardware, enabling programs to run and interact with the computer’s components.
