A.L.,

<< you will see that the WCDMA 2000 standards are, as IJ has stated, still in a state of flux >>

Could you explain to me how this differs (if at all) from the phased approach to cdma2000 standards that is being taken in 3GPP2?

Imagine how firms trying to make a cdma2000 MC chipset feel about the 3GPP2 phased flux approach. Has to drive Nokia squirelly.

<< I check these guys fairly frequently to see if they've published a standard, other than the DoCoMo 1999 version >.

You will then know that they Have published a standard, and perhaps you have scanned at least those portions of the standard that concern the air interface and the UIM. 'Release99' is published. All 131 specifications are freely available and that includes those on UTRA FDD.

'Release99' is NOT a DoCoMo version of UMTS, UTRA, UTRAN, or the UIM. There is no "DoCoMo version" of UMTS, UTRA, or UTRAN, or the UIM. There is however a great deal of flexibility built into the UTRA & UIM specifications (options. masks) to allow requisite regional and country specific options.

'Release2000' is of course in progress, and draft versions are available. Focus here is less on the air interface than services and lead ins to the IP network.

Where do you think we stand with a commencement date for 3xRTT standardization?

There are some 100 licenses already scheduled to be auctioned in the new 2GHz spectrum set aside (or about to be set aside - e.g. Brazil) for 3G on all continents of the world except for North America. Would you care to hazard a guess as to how cdma2000 or MC CDMA will fare as a technology choice in this spectrum?

Respectfully,

- Eric -
