Thanx for the links. I've been trying to keep my TD-SCDMA reading down to 4 or 5 page articles until I get a better handle on what it's all about.
I guess I'm now ready for 40 pages.

Your white paper is not dated but makes lots of references to 2001 trials and delivery of networks in 2003. Definite delay in those deliverables. I also noted that paper proposes TD-SCDMA as the better overlay solution for GSM constrained systems. If it is such a serious contender, why haven't we heard noise about this "better" solution instead of the use of w-cmda in 850 Mhz? I imagine over the next few years we are going to see whether that statement is for real or just something cluttering up our long term memory.

It is peculiar that you choose to compare TD-SCDMA with UWB. One was proposed in 1999 and has an infinite supply of white papers and the other has barely been conceived. Wouldn't it be something if a UWB network became commercial before a TD-SCDMA network?

Finally, I see you liked my choice of "kitchen sink" wording. Thinking about that, a more accurate take on TD-SCDMA might be something centered around "it attempting to be a complete single solution for all applications and all environments". I always found such non KISS approaches fail miserable due to the shaking, swaying and fluttering of one's focus.

Who knows, maybe German (and Chinese) engineers can overcome such challenges?
