Maurice! Dream on.NTT-Docomo and Japan Telecom will have a nationwide network deployed next year with a massive amount of radio base stations.Europe will follow in beginning of 2002.One of the reason DDI gave for choosing WCDMA instead of CDMA-2000 was that WCDMA deployment date was much earlier. Another question is if WCDMA and is-95 is very similar or not.There are som similarities after all both are CDMA systems so some basic concepts are the same.But there it ends.The mapping of logical channels to transportchannels and onto physical channels are totally different.It's a totally new standard with a lot of new concepts.For example the use of codemasks on the broadcatschannel for fast access to the network.How you use packetdata. where you are connected to a commonchannel when you don't have so much data to receive and send and then up to a dedicated channel when you are sending more data.Ö remember when you said that WCDMA-people didn't know what they were doing because they didn't use Turbo coding.I tried at that time to explain that the standard was not set yet.Turbo coding is of used ,for example for UDI applicatations(video). IS-95 and WCDMA has not more in common then US-TDMA and GSM.If CDMA-2000 and WCDMA is so similar it's very strange that the contracts so far has gone to Nokia nad Ericsson that haven't been involved in IS-95(Ericsson just recently). We have four contracts so far awarded. 1. Finland 2G,3G consortium Ericsson main supplier,Nokia the other. 2 Aland ,part of Finland. Ericsson only supplier. 3. Docomo 2 foreign(Ericsson,Lucent) and a couple of japanese. 4. Japan Telecom. Ericsson,NEC and Nokia suppliers.Ericsson only in the beginning. It doesn't look very good for the american IS-95 suppliers /R
