A
Continuous, complex
B
Continuous, simple
C
Discontinuous, complex

Detailed explanation-2: -Clarification: High synchronization overhead is required in TDMA systems because of burst transmissions. TDMA transmissions are slotted, and this requires the receivers to be synchronized for each data burst. 7. TDMA allocates a single time per frame to different users.

Detailed explanation-3: -TDMA stands for Time division multiple access. TDMA is used in digital cellular communication systems and it enables multiple users to share the same frequency by dividing each channel into different time slots.

Detailed explanation-4: -Time-division multiple access (TDMA) is a channel access method for shared-medium networks. It allows several users to share the same frequency channel by dividing the signal into different time slots.
