Overview of CDMA2000 Networks (e)

CDMA2000 (1x) is an important step in the evolution of CDMA wireless technology. CDMA2000 was developed in response to requirements for 3G technologies, but designed in such a way that it can be backward compatible with its predecessor, IS-95. As a 3G contender, CDMA2000 provides higher data rates and greater efficiency over the air interface, and adds efficient support for packet data. This course provides an overview of CDMA2000, including the key features and architecture. It also will give participants a introductory view of how the technology works.
