That's some of the technical lingo detail but it doesn't mention the main difference between the standards which was the political bullshit which was designed to favour particular companies and dilute Qualcomm's claims. For example WCDMA was not as effective as CDMA but it kept components of GSM in the backhaul core.

CDMA has synchronized timing while WCDMA has concatenated unsynchronized transmission. TDCDMA was Made in China bullshit to pretend that they had invented something but it was really just bells, whistles, and racing stripes on the CDMA engine, gearbox, differential, wheels, tyres, brakes and steering.

Unfortunately for China that dopey Japanese idea of having their own standard didn't turn into scale as they were ignored by the rest of the world. Mobile Cyberspace is about economies of scale and network effect. Political barriers, legal bullshit and theft are also crucial technical components of the standards not mentioned in that article you found.

Japan was big in cellphones but to protect their home market they specified local stuff which nobody else wanted. 100 million people are too few compared with 7,000 million to compete on scale or network effect.
