In modern society, the development of communication technology has brought about tremendous changes to people's lives. With the growing demand for communication, the requirements for communication systems are also becoming more stringent. Frequency Division Multiple Access (FDMA) technology, a commonly used multiple access communication technology, has been widely applied in wireless communication systems.

FDMA technology divides the communication frequency band into multiple non-overlapping sub-bands, allowing different users to transmit data on different frequencies, ***pared with other multiple access technologies, such as Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) and Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA), FDMA has advantages such as high frequency resource utilization and good interference resistance.

# 2. Fundamentals of Frequency Division Multiple Access (FDMA) Technology

### 2.1 Concept and Development Process of FDMA

Frequency Division Multiple Access (FDMA) is a communication technology that allows multiple users to communicate on different frequencies. In FDMA technology, the channel is divided into a series of non-overlapping sub-channels, and these sub-channels are allocated to different users to achieve parallel transmission. FDMA technology can be traced back to the 1950s when it was used to divide carriers into multiple frequencies for simultaneous transmission of multiple signals.

### 2.2 Analysis of FDMA Principles

The principle of FDMA is to divide frequency resources into different sub-channels and allocate each sub-channel to a different user. Each user communicates by sending and receiving signals at a specified frequency. The modulation technology commonly used in FDMA is Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM). OFDM divides the data stream into multiple low-speed sub-streams and modulates information on different sub-carriers, then superimposes these carriers to achieve high-speed data transmission.

### 2.3 Comparison of FDMA with Other Multiple Access Technologies

FDMA has some advantages over other multiple access technologies such as Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) and Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA). First, FDMA has better interference resistance because each user communicates on different frequencies, with less mutual interference. Second, FDMA is more flexible in terms of system capacity. When more users need to be added, only more frequencies need to be allocated to new users without significantly affecting the entire system. In addition, FDMA is easy to implement resource management and scheduling algorithms.

Due to these advantages, FDMA is widely used in wireless communication systems. For example, in 2G and 3G mobile communications, FDMA technology is one of the basic multiple access methods. In 4G LTE and 5G mobile communications, OFDM technology uses FDMA to improve system capacity and coverage. At the same time, FDMA technology is also widely used in satellite communications, Wireless Local Area Networks (WLAN), and other fields.

The above is a brief introduction to the fundamentals of Frequency Division Multiple Access (FDMA) technology. In the following chapters, we will delve into the principles of frequency division multiple access communication, the design and implementation of FDMA communication systems, and the development and application of FDMA technology in practical applications.

### 3.1 Channel Allocation and Multiplexing Technology

In Frequency Division Multiple Access (FDMA) technology, the frequency range is divided into a certain number of sub-channels, each of which is used to transmit the signal of a user. To achieve the goal of multiple users transmitting data simultaneously, effective channel allocation and multiplexing are required.

#### 3.1.1 Static Channel Allocation

Static channel allocation refers to pre-allocating channel resources for each user at the time of communication establishment, and the allocation scheme is generally determined based on the number of users and communication requirements. Static channel allocation is simple and reliable, suitable for channel allocation needs where the number of users remains unchanged.

The main methods of static channel allocation include the following:

1. Fixed Allocation: Divide the frequency range into a fixed number of sub-channels and allocate a fixed sub-channel to each user during communication establishment. This method is suitable for scenarios with a small number of stable users. For example, a wireless local area network in a small office environment.

# Example code: Fixed allocation of channels to different users
user_channel_mapping = {
     'user1': 'channel1',
     'user2': 'channel2',
     'user3': 'channel3'
}

def allocate_channel(user):
     return user_channel_mapping[user]

2. Fixed Polling: Divide the frequency range into a fixed number of sub-channels and allocate a sub-channel to each user in a polling manner during communication establishment. This method is suitable for scenarios with a large number of users, but relatively stable communication requirements. For example, a wireless payment system in a small shopping mall.

// Example code: Fixed polling allocation of channels to different users
public class ChannelAllocator {
     private static final String[] channels = {"channel1", "channel2", "channel3"};
     private int currentChannelIndex = 0;
     public String allocateChannel() {
         String channel = channels[currentChannelIndex];
         currentChannelIndex = (currentChannelIndex + 1) % channels.length;
         return channel;
     }
}

3. Frequency Reuse: Divide the frequency range into multiple areas, and allocate sub-channels in each area to different users. This method is suitable for scenarios with a large number of users and significant changes in communication requirements. For example, a mobile communication network in a large city.

// Example code: Frequency reuse allocation of channels to different users
type ChannelAllocator struct {
     regions map[Region][]Channel
     currentRegion int
}

func NewChannelAllocator(regions map[Region][]Channel) *ChannelAllocator {
     return &ChannelAllocator{
         regions: regions,
         currentRegion: 0,
     }
}

func (c *ChannelAllocator) AllocateChannel(user User) Channel {
     region := c.regions[c.currentRegion]
     channel := region[0]
     region = region[1:]
     c.regions[c.currentRegion] = region
     c.currentRegion = (c.currentRegion + 1) % len(c.regions)
     return channel
}

#### 3.1.2 Dynamic Channel Allocation

Dynamic channel allocation refers to dynamically allocating channel resources to users based on communication needs and resource utilization during communication. Dynamic channel allocation can more flexibly adapt to changes in the number of users and communication requirements, improving the efficiency of frequency res
