An insightful guide to CDMA2000^® for implementing successful next-generation mobile and wireless networks

CDMA2000^® Evolution: System Concepts and Design Principles is the comprehensive resource you need to understand concepts, techniques, and protocols used in the design of a widely deployed family of next-generation mobile wireless standards: the CDMA2000^® standard, including the CDMA2000® 1x (IS2000), and the 1xEV-DO (or IS856/HRPD) systems.

All systems are examined in depth, from the physical channelization to coding, spreading, and modulation schemes. The author leads you through:

• The key enabling 3G technology concepts, such as link adaptation, Hybrid ARQ, adaptive scheduling, and diversity schemes
• The Release 0/A of the IS2000 system and the key technical enhancements made to recent releases of the standard
• The IS2000 Releases C and D, including forward and reverse high-speed packet data channel operation
• 1xEV-DO/IS856, including the new enhancements and features in EV-DO Rev. A
• MAC/LAC layer protocols and signaling procedures
• Network architecture, QoS, radio network performance, and dimensioning
• Comparisons with other 2.5G/3G systems

From simpler legacy systems to the more advanced revisions made to these standards, the emphasis is on conceptual understanding of key techniques and protocols, and their evolution. Carefully balancing theory and practical insights, CDMA2000^® Evolution: System Concepts and Design Principles provides engineers, technical managers, and students in telecommunications with a solid foundation of the new concepts, protocols, and methodologies used for the design of next-generation CDMA networks and systems.
