CISA Certified Information Systems Auditor – Question0889

Which of the following is not a common method of multiplexing data?

A.
Analytical multiplexing
B. Time-division multiplexing
C. Asynchronous time-division multiplexing
D. Frequency division multiplexing

Correct Answer: A

Explanation:

Explanation: Generally, the methods for multiplexing data include the following: Time-division multiplexing (TDM): information from each data channel is allocated bandwidth based on pre-assigned time slots, regardless of whether there is data to transmit. Asynchronous time-division multiplexing (ATDM): information from data channels is allocated bandwidth as needed, via dynamically assigned time slots. Frequency division multiplexing (FDM): information from each data channel is allocated bandwidth based on the signal frequency of the traffic. Statistical multiplexing: Bandwidth is dynamically allocated to any data channels that have information to transmit.
