Mobile - Wireless Communications White Papers

Comparison of W-CDMA and cdma2000

Overview This white paper reviews and discusses these two 3G technologies from a variety of perspectives such as air interface performance, costs, and ease of evolution. The comparative investigation of these 3G alternatives reveals that system capacities are more or less in the same range, with slight advantage of W-CDMA when using comparable transmission technologies and channel conditions. This advantage of W-CDMA mainly results from the higher coverage of high-bit-rate services. cdma2000's 1xEV systems are technologically exhausted when capacity is concerned, while W-CDMA still holds potential by introducing HSDPA.

H is for HSDPA Saunders added: "It isn't a technology that we think is specific to just one of the flavours of mobile air interface - UMTS or GSM or CDMA or WiMax, for that matter - we actually think femotcells bring things to all those technologies.

Live Webcast: Telecoms 2.0 - Where is telecoms heading?

In this webcast, our panel of experts will review where we are with next generation telecoms in the UK, working through the concept of 'Telecoms 2.0': - Realising the potential of Next Generation Networks - why it isn't just about the technology? - What attributes should firms be looking for in their telco partner? - Is the relationship between telco provider and customer changing? - What things need to happen to make next generation services a reality? - You say you want the supplier to change. Do you want to change too? - What is Telecoms 2.0?
