The multiple wavelengths of a WDMPON can be used to separate Optical

Multiplexing - Types of multiplexing
1
Multiple variable bit rate digital bit streams
may be transferred efficiently over a single
fixed bandwidth channel by means of
statistical multiplexing, for example packet
mode communication. Packet mode
communication is an asynchronous mode
time-domain multiplexing which resembles
time-division multiplexing.

Multiplexing - Code-division multiplexing
Advantages over conventional
techniques are that variable
bandwidth is possible (just as in
statistical multiplexing), that the wide
bandwidth allows poor signal-to-noise
ratio according to Shannon-Hartley
theorem, and that multi-path
propagation in wireless
communication can be combated by
rake receivers.

Multiplexing - Relation to multiple access

A multiplexing technique may be further
extended into a multiple access method or

into Time-division multiple access (TDMA)
and statistical multiplexing into carrier
sense multiple access (CSMA). A multiple
access method makes it possible for
several transmitters connected to the
same physical medium to share its

Multiplexing - Digital broadcasting
In digital television and digital radio

Packet switching - Overview
1
Packet switching features delivery of variable
bitrate data streams (sequences of packets)
over a shared network which allocates
transmission resources as needed using
statistical multiplexing or dynamic bandwidth
allocation techniques. When traversing
network adapters, switches, routers, and
other network nodes, packets are buffered
and queued, resulting in variable delay and
throughput depending on the network's
capacity and the traffic load on the network.

Statistical multiplexing is facilitated through
packet mode or packet-oriented
communication, which among others is
utilized in packet switched computer
networks. Each stream is divided into packets
that normally are delivered asynchronously in
a first-come first-served fashion. In alternative
fashion, the packets may be delivered
according to some scheduling discipline for
fair queuing or differentiated and/or
guaranteed quality of service.

Statistical time division multiplexing - Comparison with static TDM
Time domain statistical multiplexing
(packet mode communication) is similar to
time-division multiplexing (TDM), except
that, rather than assigning a data stream
to the same recurrent time slot in every
TDM frame, each data stream is assigned
time slots (of fixed length) or data frames
(of variable lengths) that often appear to
be scheduled in a randomized order, and
experience varying delay (while the delay
is fixed in TDM).
