Wide Code Division Multiple Access

a phone network technology

A technology for wideband digital radio communications of Internet, multimedia, video and other capacity demanding applications. WCDMA, developed by Ericsson and others, has been selected for the third generation of mobile telephone systems in Europe, Japan and the US. The technology is also the principal alternative being discussed, in other parts of the world, notably Asia. Read more at the Ericsson site.

Wideband Code Division Multiple Access. For wideband wireless access to support third-generation services. This technology is optimised to allow very high-speed multimedia services such as full-motion video, Internet access and video-conferencing.

The technology that is being used for third generation (3G) mobile telephone systems in Europe, Japan and the United-States.

Wideband Code Division Multiple Access. Air interface standard which will enable Third Generation mobile phones to carry new mobile multimedia services (see UMTS).

See Wideband CDMA.

Wideband CDMA, a UMTS standard for 3G digital mobilenetworks, using CDMA technology. It offers increased voicecapacity and theoretical peak data speed of up to 2 Mbps.

WCDMA stands for "Wideband Code Division Multiple Access". It involves a process that enables third generation cellular phones to access UMTS in Europe and Asia. WCDMA is split into a sender and a receiver each using a 5 MHz blanket frequency range (FDD). The former goes from caller to base station (uplink) and the latter from base station to participant (downlink). In other words, UMTS-enabled cellular phones send in the uplink area and receive in the downlink area.

Wideband Code Division Multiple Access. A technology for wideband digital radio communications of Internet, multimedia, video and other capacity-demanding applications. Voice, images, data, and video are first converted to a narrowband digital radio signal. The signal is assigned a marker (spreading code) to distinguish it from the signal of other users. WCDMA uses variable rate techniques in digital processing and it can achieve multi-rate transmissions.

Wide-band CDMA: a CDMA protocol originated by NTT DoCoMo and now adopted for third-generation use by ETSI in Europe. WCDMA supports very high-speed multimedia services such as full-motion video, Internet access and video conferencing.

A 3G standard that increases the throughput of data transmission of CDMA by using a wider 5MHz carrier than standard CDMA, which uses a 200KHz carrier....

Wideband CDMA; the technology created from a fusion of proposals to act as the European entrant for the ITU IMT-2000 family.

Wideband code division multiple access. Wideband CDMA, developed by Ericsson and others, provides higher data rates than present CDMA systems, and has been selected for the third generation of mobile telephone systems in Europe, Japan and the United States.

A high speed third generation cellular technology adopted as a standard by the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) under the name &IMT-2000 direct spread&. WCDMA can reach speeds from 384 Kbps to 2 Mbps, which represents from 6 to 35 times more than what regular landline modems can do. At that speed, wideband services such as streaming video and video-conference.

Wideband-CDMA. A 3G technology that increases data transmission rates in GSM systems by using CDMA instead of TDMA. W-CDMA has become the Direct Sequence (DS) mode in the ITU's 3G specification, which includes the 1x Multi-Carrier mode (1x MC) and 3x Multi-Carrier mode (3x MC). 1x MC (formerly known as cdma2000) and 3x MC comprise the 3G upgrade path for carriers already using CDMA (cdmaOne).

Wideband CDMA: Technology for wideband wireless access supporting 3G mobile phone services, and allows very high-speed multimedia services like internet access and videoconferencing.

a.k.a. UMTS Wideband CDMA. A third-generation (3G), CDMA-based wireless communication technology that offers enhanced voice and data capacity and higher data rates than previous, second-generation wireless technologies. See Also: CDMA, IMT-2000, 3G, UMTS

A third-generation wireless technology under development that allows for high-speed, high-quality data transmission. Derived from CDMA, WCDMA digitizes and transmits wireless data over a broad range of frequencies. It requires more bandwidth than CDMA but offers faster transmission because it optimizes the use of multiple wireless signals—not just one, as with CDMA.

(Wideband Code Division Multiple Access) A technology for wideband digital radio communications of Internet, multimedia, video and other capacity-demanding applications. WCDMA has been selected for the third generation of mobile telephone systems in Europe, Japan and the United States. The technology is also the principal alternative being discussed in other parts of the world, notably Asia.

A 3G wireless communications standard evolved from CDMA. The standard, often called UMTS, uses wider 5 MHz channels(vs. 1.25 MHz for CDMA) for increased voice traffic capacity and peak data rates of 384 kbps.

(Wideband CDMA) 3G evolution for GSM carriers. See WCDMA.

Wideband CDMA. Recognized by the ITU as a 3G technology that uses 10 MHz of wireless spectrum – a 5 MHz uplink and a 5 MHz downlink to the mobile terminal. WCDMA is based on IMT-2000. The European version is referred to as UMTS. Visit www.3gtoday.com. See also IMT-2000 and UMTS.

Wideband Code Division Multiple Access, a 3G technology.

See Wideband code division multiple access.

A multiple-access technique that operates over allocations of either 5MHz, 10MHz, or 15MHz. WCDMA can support higher data rates than first-generation CDMA.

Wideband Code Division Multiple Access. Radio interface technology used in most third-generation (3G) systems.

WCDMA stands for Wideband Code Division Multiple Access. It is a highly efficient air interface that is designed to operate in a frequency band separate from those used for GSM networks.
