CDMA TRAINING MODULE CDMA TRAINING MODULE
FDMA(Frequency Division Multiple Access): Each user has a private frequency. e.g. AMPS
TDMA(Time Division Multiple Access): A user’s channel is a specific frequency, but it only belongs to the user during certain time slots in a repeating sequence. Each user has a private time on a private frequency. e.g. GSM
CDMA(Code Division Multiple Access): Each user has a private code. e.g. IS-95, CDMA-2000, 1xEV-DO etc. Each user’s signal is a continuous unique code pattern buried within a shared signal, mingled with other users’ code patterns. If a user’s code pattern is known, the presence or absence of their signal can be detected, thus conveying information.

Higher capacity interference limited => high efficiency uses voice activity detection to reduce transmission bandwidth
Improved quality Soft handoff CDMA has frequency, spatial, and time diversity to adapt to wireless errors EVRC coding at 8kbps of voice includes error correction etc.
Ease of deployment No frequency planning since frequency reuse=1
Greater coverage Cost effective in sub-urban and rural areas
Increased privacy Spreads small signal (9.6kbps) over large spectrum (1.25Mbps) so that signal
appears like noise
Increased talk time Power control (performed 800 times a second) ensures that the mobile
station transmits at optimum power resulting in longer battery life
The Four RF parameters in CDMA are Rx Level, Tx Level, EcIo & FFER.
• Rx Level The signal mobile is experiencing in a particular band.
• Tx Level The power mobile is transmitting in a particular band.
• EcIo Energy per chip over noise; Signal to noise ratio.
• FER Frame Error Rate.
Except that PN and Channel No.
=> Collection of Lat/Long of the problematic area
Azimuth Check of the nearby sites and re orientation of the antenna towards problematic area
Pilot Power Modification of the particular sector to improve coverage.
Sector Addition to cater low coverage zone
In case of data complaints reduction of Pilot Power to avoid the Overlapping and Frequent Hand Off
TROUBLESHOOTING
Evolution-Data Optimized or Evolution-Data only (EV-DO, EV, etc.) is a telecommunications standard for the wireless transmission of data through radio signals, typically for broadband Internet access. It uses multiplexing techniques including code division multiple access (CDMA) as well as time division multiplexing (TDM) to maximize both individual users' throughput and the overall system throughput. It is standardized by 3rd Generation Partnership Project 2 (3GPP2) as part of the CDMA2000 family of standards.
EVDO is a spectrally efficient solution optimized for high-speed wireless Internet access:
1X EvDO Rev A Principles: 1x = single 1.25 MHz spaced carrier EV = Evolution DO = Data Optimized (no voice traffic)1xEV-DO systems have their own dedicated RF channel (frequency assignment) Internet working with cdma2000-1x system is supported by means of hard handoff
HSIA Data Rates :- Forward Link : 38.4 kbps to 3.1 Mbps Reverse Link : 9.6 kbps to 1.8 Mbps
Actual Data rate varies depending on numerous factors :-
Number of users per sector (Maximum Sector Throughput 3.1 mbps) Application (Load of the server customer is accessing) Signal to Interference and Noise Ratio (SINR) Backhaul capacity
There have been several revisions of the standard as :-
Release 0 (Rel. 0) - Data rate up to 2 Mbit/s Revision A (Rev. A) - Data rate up to 3.1 Mbit/s Revision B (Rev. B) - Data rate up to 4.9 Mbit/s Revision MC (Rev. MC) - Data rate up to 5.5 Mbit/s
Digital Rate Control (DRC) it communicates the information to the serving sector in the form of an integer between 1 and 14 on the DRC channel. Alternatively, the mobile can select a "null" rate (DRC 0), indicating that the mobile either cannot decode data at any rate, or that it is attempting to hand off to another serving sector.
