OVERVIEW OF CELLULAR CDMA

This paper is a general description of code division multiple access (CDMA). The analysis of power control schemes in CDMA is an original work. The wide-band wave propagation in the cellular environment presents an interesting result (the short-term fading reduction over the wide band-signal in cellular). Also less fading in urban areas than in suburban areas. The advantages of using CDMA listed in this paper have excited the cellular industry. Radio capacity is the key issue in selecting CDMA and is carefully described in this paper.
