Code division multiple access (CDMA) is a technique for wireless access to broadband services that has become widespread in mobile communications systems. Rhee (electrical engineering, Hanyang U., Seoul, Korea) explains the concepts for architecting, analyzing, developing, and implementing CDMA cellular networks. His purpose is to help practicing engineers plan and design an efficient network, and to help graduate students understand the principles underlying spread spectrum cellular systems. Most of the material is based on IS-95. Worked examples with quantitative values are included. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
