Here's an in-depth, comprehensive study of the developmental trends and practical design, planning, and deployment issues associated with wideband CDMA technology. Prepared by two leading authorities in the field, this book evaluates wideband CDMA as an effective third generation technology option, and gives you a clear picture of the various wideband CDMA standardization activities currently underway worldwide. Wireless system engineers responsible for designing wideband CDMA systems will appreciate the book's depth of coverage as it compares a wide array of CDMA design techniques and examines how each affects system performance. The book also describes how third generation system applications will impact radio access system design and...Compares and contrasts major wideband CDMA standardization proposals, including FRAMES, WCDMA in 3GPP, CDMA2000, and IS-95B; Identifies and describes various air interface access schemes for third and fourth generation mobile communications systems; Analyzes wideband CDMA performance in varying radio environments, and presents simulation results; Discusses the integration of the GSM core network with wideband CDMA; Examines the basic principles of CDMA, including IS-95B air interference, and includes details on EDGE/136HS.
