Time Division Duplex. A technique in which a network, and the mobiles it supports, communicate by alternating transmit and receive in the same radio channel. Used in UTRA TDD (see TD-CDMA). TDD allows for unsymmetrical allocation of bandwidth, unlike FDD (Frequency Division Duplex) which has separate paired spectrum for the uplink and downlink.
