Speech

Digital transmission with one out of several possible vocoders:
QCELP (8 kbit/s) (quadrature code excited linear prediction)
EVRC (8 kbit/s) (enhanced variable rate codec)
ACELP (13 kbit/s) (algebraic code excited linear prediction)

Power control

Up to 800 power control commands per second changing the level in increments of 1 dB.

Applications

CDMA is a growing mobile device standard, with networks established in a large number of countries around the world.  CDMA supports data connections through circuit switched data (up to 14.4 kbit/s) and packet switched data (up to 307kbit/s, fl). A 3G evolution path for higher data rates utilizing 1xEV-DO (1x Evolution-Data Only) and 1xEV-DV (1x Evolution-Data and Voice) technologies exist and is being deployed.

In addition to voice services, users are experiencing a host of advanced services, including web browsing, m-commerce, MMS (multimedia messaging services), streaming video, games, enterprise solutions and email.

Technology in brief

CDMA is a "spread spectrum" technology, allowing many users to occupy the same time and frequency allocations in a given band/space. As its name implies, CDMA assigns unique codes to each communication to differentiate it from others in the same spectrum. In a world of finite spectrum resources, CDMA enables many more people to share the airwaves at the same time than do alternative technologies.

cdmaOne describes a complete wireless system based on the TIA/EIA IS-95 CDMA standard, including IS-95A and IS-95B revisions. It represents the end-to-end wireless system and all the necessary specifications that govern its operation. cdmaOne provides a family of related services including cellular, PCS and fixed wireless (wireless local loop).

CDMA2000 represents a family of ITU-approved, IMT-2000 (3G) standards and includes CDMA2000 1X and CDMA2000 1xEV technologies. They deliver increased network capacity to meet growing demand for wireless services and high-speed data services. CDMA2000 1X was the world's first 3G technology commercially deployed (October 2000).
