1 definition found From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (05 January 2017) [foldoc]: statistical time division multiplexing StatMUX STDM (STDM, StatMUX) A system developed to overcome some inefficiencies of standard {time division multiplexing}, where time slices are still allocated to channels, even if they have no information to transmit. STDM uses a variable time slot length and by allowing channels to vie for any free slot space. It employs a buffer memory which temporarily stores the data during periods of peak traffic. This scheme allows STDM to waste no high-speed line time with inactive channels. STDM requires each transmission to carry identification information (i.e. a channel identifier). To reduce the cost of this overhead, a number of characters for each channel are grouped together for transmission.
