TD-CDMA

TD-CDMA, an acronym for Time-division - CDMA, is a channel access method based on using spread spectrum across multiple time slots.[1] It is shown that a mixture of TDMA and CDMA provides better quality of service for multimedia communications in terms of data throughput and voice/video quality.[2]

[edit] Standardized implementations

TD-CDMA is used in IMT-2000's 3G air interface, defined as IMT-TD Time-Division, and can also be found in use in UMTS air interfaces, as standardized by the 3GPP in UTRA-TDD HCR. UTRA-TDD HCR is closely related to W-CDMA (UMTS), and provides the same types of channels where possible. UMTS's HSDPA/HSUPA enhancements are also implemented under TD-CDMA.[3]
