H04J

MULTIPLEX COMMUNICATION (transmission in general H04B; peculiar to transmission of digital information H04L5/00; systems for the simultaneous or sequential transmission of more than one television signal H04N7/08; in exchanges H04Q11/00; stereophonic systems H04S)

Description

H04J covers multiplex communication systems and techniques that enable simultaneous transmission of multiple signals or information streams over a single communication channel or medium. This includes time-division multiplexing (TDM), frequency-division multiplexing (FDM), code-division multiplexing (CDM), and wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM), along with associated synchronization, signaling, and channel allocation methods. The classification encompasses technologies for telecommunications networks, data transmission systems, and integrated communication infrastructures where efficient bandwidth utilization through signal combining is essential. Related switching, routing, and network management aspects specific to multiplex systems are also included, distinguishing this from broader electrical communication techniques covered in H04.
