From the Publisher
The complete guide to CDMA and the breakthrough digital cellular and PCS applications it makes possible. This is the first complete engineer's guide to CDMA wireless technology and its applications. CDMA is the leading technology for tomorrow's exciting PCS wireless networks. This book explains CDMA technology in detail, describing the CDMA architecture and protocol. Engineers will find detailed coverage of how CDMA systems may be designed for optimal RF coverage. CDMA support for wireless data is also covered. The book shows how CDMA networks are operated and maintained, and how CDMA technology is expected to evolve as PCS networks become more widespread. For engineers and managers involved in developing wireless communications products and systems.
From the Inside Flap
chapter 1, we explore the growth in the wireless communications and present market trends. We develop the market and technical needs for digital technologies and discuss their merits when compared to analog technology. We briefly describe the digital technologies used for cellular technology. In chapter 2, we describe different spread spectrum (SS) systems and then focus on the direct sequence spread spectrum (DSSS) technology that is specified in the TIA IS-95 and TIA-T1P1 J-STD-008 CDMA systems. We develop necessary relationships to evaluate the performance of a DSSS system with binary phase-shift keying (BPSK) and quadrature phase-shift keying (QPSK) modulation and provide a relationship to calculate the performance of a CDMA system. We conclude the chapter by discussing the main features of a CDMA system.
In chapter 3, we provide a survey of CDMA standards specifying the air interface (i.e., the messaging between the base station and the mobile station). This chapter highlights the TIA IS-95A call processing model, service configuration and negotiation, and registration by the mobile station. In chapter 4, we present the TIA TR-45/46 reference model, which is a basis for the cellular and PCS standards. We discuss the mobile switching center (MSC)Ñbase station (BS) interface. The effects upon the architecture of a CDMA system are emphasized. We conclude the chapter by discussing the basic and supplementary services that are supported by cellular and PCS standards.
In chapter 5, we introduce the concepts of the seven-layer open-system interconnect (OSI) reference model. We describe the physical layer of the CDMA system and the wideband CDMA (W-CDMA) system. We describe the network and data link layers of the two systems in chapter 6. We discuss the signaling application layer in chapter 7. We include call flows for several typical services supplied to mobile stations using CDMA and W-CDMA. Also, we examine network operations for call origination, call termination, call clearing, mobile station registration, and mobile-assisted hand-offs. In chapter 8, we discuss speech-coding algorithms that have been standardized for CDMA telephony. Note that a single speech-coding algorithm has not been adopted across the various types of access technologies since an algorithm may be customized for optimization in the context of the given access technology.
We deal with the basic guidelines for engineering a CDMA system in chapter 9. This chapter discusses several topics that are germane to the engineering of a CDMA system. These topics include indoor and outdoor propagation models, link budgets, transitioning from analog to CDMA operation, facilities engineering, radio link capacity, and border cells located at a boundary between two service providers. In chapter 10, we concentrate on wireless data systems, including the wide area wireless data system and the high-speed Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN). We discuss the standards activities for wireless data and outline the access methods and error control schemes. We also include data services standards for wideband systems and present highlights of the TIA IS-99, TIA IS-636, and the TIA IS-657 standards. In chapter 11, we focus on the management goals for PCS networks and present the requirements for PCS network management. We discuss the important aspects of the Telecommunications Management Network (TMN) architecture, which can be applied to the management of a PCS network. We conclude the chapter by presenting requirements, as defined by TMN, for five management functions: accounting management, security management, configuration management, fault management, and performance management.
As we previously noted in this preface, the wireless industry deploys various analog and digital technologies. However, mobile subscribers expect seamless operation as they traverse different cellular/PCS systems. We examine the issues of coexistence of CDMA systems with other digital and analog systems in chapter 12. We also describe the associated work on wireless intelligent networks. The wireless industry is seeking means for improving and reducing costs so that the mobile subscriber can experience better service at a reduced price. In chapter 13, we examine several approaches that address these goals. First, service providers are seeking ways to reduce administrative costs by streamlining the service activation procedures for new mobile subscribers. We discuss over-the-air service provisioning (OTASP), which supports this objective. Second, advances in digital technology will make it possible to improve the quality of speech coding at a given data rate. We present a brief discussion of the enhanced variable rate codes (EVRC), which provides better performance than the current standardized 8-kbps speech coder. Third, the wireless industry is seeking improvements to transmission schemes used for the air interface. Resulting improvements will increase the capacity of a radio channel. For mobile subscribers, this increased capacity translates to better service at a lower price. We conclude this chapter with a discussion of three separate approaches for addressing this objective: interference cancellation, multiple beam adaptive antenna arrays, and improvements of the hand-off algorithm.
We suggest material in chapters 1, 3Ð8, 11, and 12 for telecommunication managers. The practicing telecommunication engineer should study the entire book in order to become proficient in the CDMA technology. If this book is used for students with a general background in electromagnetic field theory and digital systems, we suggest using the material in chapters 1Ð12 for a one-semester course in CDMA technology.

4.0 out of 5 stars
summarizes the differences between CDMA and WCDMA,
By A Customer
This review is from: Applications Of CDMA In Wireless/Personal Communications (Feher/Prentice Hall Digital and Wireless Communications Seri) (Hardcover)
This book summarizes in a neat way the major differences between CDMA and WCDMA technlogies and gives a overview of the same in each of it's chapters. A very good book to start on CDMA or WCDMA, bereft of major mathamatical jargon, very useful to hands-on engineers who are looking for that one book which can summarize difference between CDMA and WCDMA. Since the book was written in 1996, when the WCDMA is still in it's infancy, an upgrade is essential in my opinion.
