INSIDE CDMA

The unparalleled ability of CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access) to increase network capacity while providing enhanced data services is driving its growth worldwide. And if working CDMA solutions for RF networks—both now and in the transition from IS-95 to IS-2000—is what you need, you’ve come to the right place. CDMA expert Steve Lee’s Spread Spectrum CDMA provides a user-friendly explanation of the concepts, issues, and techniques behind the IS-95 and IS-2000 CDMA standards. This book is a must for those seeking to:
* Gain an understanding of the principles behind CDMA and RF communications in general
* Understand the variety of real-world issues CDMA addresses, including network capacity, multipath, and enhanced services
* Explore the forward and reverse link messaging protocols
* Develop a practical view of the motives and techniques driving the transition from 2G to 3G CDMA
* Discover a practical understanding of CDMA, in a walkthrough of the daily functions of a CDMA network
* Explore some of the more fundamental aspects of RF communications, from a practical to a mathematical approach

Steve Lee is a communications engineer in cellular CDMA, with a master's in applied physics and 14 years' experience in wireless telecommunications and RF broadcasting.
