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.

Preface

Preface

Until only eight years ago, the wireless telecommunications industry considered code division multiple access (CDMA) a controversial technology. However, since the Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA) published the IS-95 standard in 1993, CDMA has rapidly become a preferred choice of the industry. As of this writing, hundreds of CDMA mobile communications networks have been deployed worldwide, providing services to over 30 million subscribers. In addition, many of the radio transmission technology (RTT) proposals for the next-generation IMT-2000 system have chosen CDMA for their air interface technology.

To arrive at this level of success in the market, the CDMA standard has been revised more than once, and the in-service CDMA systems have incorporated many improvements. However, techniques for designing and tuning a system to achieve optimum performance remain to be worked out through individual research and field tests. We have attempted, in this book, to archive our findings, hoping to provide a single source of useful information for those who would otherwise have to wade through all the available literature on the topic and/or develop their own methodology. This book is the result of the recent efforts of many members of the technical staff of Bell Labs at Lucent Technologies, Inc., on CDMA technology as it applies to cellular or personal communications services (PCS). As we are now moving toward the next-generation systems, this is a good time to properly summarize all the work that has been developed and applied to the design and deployment of IS-95 CDMA systems.

In this book, we also provide an in-depth discussion of various engineering guidelines for a multitude of real-world issues involved in designing, deploying, and optimizing IS-95 CDMA systems and networks. However, because there are numerous good books on the market that provide thorough mathematics of CDMA technology, our approach has been to focus on intuitive and qualitative approaches for the various topics we discuss in this book. Nonetheless, some background in calculus and linear algebra along with probability theory will be necessary to fully understand the discussions in Chapters 5, 9, and10.

The goal we have in mind for this book is to help readers understand (i) the types of issues involved in engineering successful CDMA mobile communication systems and (ii) the guidelines needed to deal with those issues. To make this book more useful for those who are interested in cell planning, we have included a demonstration version of Cellular Engineering 4 (CE4), which is an example of a CDMA coverage prediction software tool developed at Bell Labs. Using this software, readers can obtain hands-on experience in CDMA cellular engineering technique as well as in the design and analysis of CDMA networks.

Although we have attempted to cover as many relevant topics as possible, this book cannot possibly substitute for all the existing literature published on the topic of CDMA technology. Still, we believe that the various analyses and simulation results for the topics discussed will be useful for anyone seeking practical guidelines for the engineering and optimization of CDMA networks.

One last note, we have used the North American PCS CDMA system operating in the 1800 MHz spectral band as our example for numerical evaluations in many of our discussions; however, almost all discussions are equally applicable to both 1.8 GHz and 850 MHz CDMA systems if appropriate changes are made for the frequency-related numerical values (for example, wavelength). Also, the guidelines in this book can be applied to the systems deployed in other parts of the globe, though local regulations and practices may modify some of the specific procedures, as well as the 1.8 GHz or 850 MHz spectral band.
