Introduction to CDMA
Objectives Introduce
CDMA Networks
– What is CDMA? – What are the benefits? – What is CDMA2000? – Future of CDMA – How does a CDMA call work?
What is CDMA? Code
Division Multiple Access
– Unique identification of users through
digital codes – Simultaneous use of radio spectrum by multiple users Digital
Spread Spectrum Technology Uses wideband radio channel Built-in interference minimization
Spread Spectrum Techniques Use
of wide band to transmit relatively narrow band data Types of spread spectrum techniques: – Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum
(FHSS) – Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS)
CDMA Concept $%&@#
CDMA can bring big business
This is John Doe
• Cocktail party in same room (same wide band channel) • Use different languages (different digital codes)
CDMA Advantages
Advantages from a user perspective – Inherent privacy – Higher capacity – Increased battery life – Reliable handoffs (Soft handoff) – Quality (Multipath diversity)
Advantages from an operator perspective – Simpler deployment (Same frequency everywhere) – Capacity (Variable rate coding, power control) – Cost reduction (backhaul efficiency) – Fully compatible evolution path
Soft Handoff “Make-before-break”
approach Graceful, non-muted handoff Allows mobile to transmit with less power requirements
Cell A
Cell B
Power Control Increases
battery life Dynamic control of power transmitted to and from mobile Reduces interference to other users Increases system capacity

Summary
CDMA stands for Code Division Multiple Access CDMA uses the same frequency in adjacent cells User channels are differentiated using unique digital codes (similar to different languages) Soft handoff is making a new link before dropping the old one Soft handoff increases reliability of handovers Major CDMA providers in India are Tata Tele, Reliance, BSNL 2 evolution options for 1x CDMA: 1xEV-DO (Data Only) and 1xEV-DV (Data and Voice)
