Hi Eric,

The more I read about TD-SCDMA, the more I get the impression that it may have already lost many of the advantages it's designers envisioned back in '99. Many of the "tricks" are being incorporated into other wireless flavours. By the time TD-SCDMA becomes commercial, it is most likely going to be lagging in both capacity and capability compared to existing commercial wireless networks.

Here's a paper on incorporating SAIC (or Joint Detection as it is known in TD-SCDMA) into GSM. You'll like it, as it includes a version of GSM with better voice capacity than 1xRTT.

There are lot's of papers about "TD-SCDMA functionalities" in this vein. It may be the case, that the one positive TD-SCDMA retained over over versions of wireless (ie combining TDD/CDMA/TDMA into a single offering on top of circuit switched GSM-MAP) is what resulted in it's belated delivery.

It sure looks like it was "A Bridge Too Far".
