spectrum: unsure if FCC will allocate any; use present 1900 MHz specturm?

Wideband cdmaOne
5 MHz BW.
Data rates to 2 Mbps
needs to be backwards compatible with 1G (AMPS ANSI-41) and 2G (IS-95 CDMA)

UWCC (Universal Wireless Communications Consortium) 3G TDMA (IS-136 compatible)

spectrum allocated

UMTS (Universal Mobile Telecommunications System)/WCDMA (Wideband Code Division Multiple Access) (Nokia, Ericsson, Telecom Finland, Telecom Italia Mobile)
compatible with NTT DoCoMo
UMTS has a FRAMES approach and uses a different numerology and techniques than Wideband cdmaOne.
access method: DS-CDMA, FDD

vs 1.25 MHz BW CDMA:

• wider channel for better frequency diversity, reduced fading problems, better statistical averaging effects coherent demodulation in the uplink improves coverage
• improved power control, due to faster acontrol and less fading effects in wider channel
• built in support for adaptive antenna arrays; multi-user detection; hierarchical cell structures; independance from GPS (no synchronization)

TD/CDMA (Siemens, Alcatel, ItalTel, Nortel, Bosch, Motorola, Sony)
hybrid system employing both TDMA and CDMA
