Until the Telecommunications Industry Association published the IS-95 standard in 1993, the wireless telecommunications industry considered code division multiple access (CDMA) a controversial technology. Members of the technical staff of Bell Labs, Lucent Technologies provide in-depth discussion of engineering guidelines for issues involved in designing, deploying, and optimizing IS-95 CDMA systems and networks. Appends material on the RF (radio frequency) design process, optimatization procedures, and coverage prediction. While the approach is less mathematical than other books on the subject, familiarity with calculus, linear algebra, and probability theory would aid in understanding some of the material. The bundled CD-ROM contains a demonstration version of Bell Labs' Cellular Engineering 4 coverage prediction software. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

Designing state-of-the-art CDMA systems, start to finish.
The comprehensive, up-to-date CDMA design resource for every professional
Digital CDMA mobile communications systems already serve millions of users, but techniques for optimizing these systems are still continuing to evolve through research and field testing. In the Handbook of CDMA System Design, Engineering, and Optimization, leading CDMA researcher Dr. Kyoung Il Kim and the Members of Technical Staff of Bell Labs, Lucent Technologies bring together the field's most valuable experience and methods in a single authoritative, up-to-date resource for every working CDMA professional.
The authors offer in-depth coverage of all key issues associated with CDMA system engineering, presenting clear guidelines and advanced simulations that address everything from RF design to traffic engineering and antenna installation. Coverage also includes:
- Intrasystem and intersystem interference estimation
- Pilot channel PN assignment
- Access and paging channel capacity and engineering
- Handoff-related issues
- Link budgets, link capacity, link coverage, and more
About the CD-ROM
The accompanying CD-ROM contains a demonstration version of Bell Labs' Cellular Engineering 4 (CE4), the industry's most advanced CDMA coverage prediction software-ideal for gaining hands-on experience with CDMA cell planning.
