I have a very theoretical question: According to information theory, is CDMA at the theoretical limit in terms of efficiency?

Why ask such question? In the very long-run, will someone else be able to invent a better mouse trap?

At the theoretical limit, CDMA is 3-4 times more efficient than TDMA right? What's the current state of the technology at in the field? Someone told me CDMA is approx. 30-40% more efficient than TDMA in the field currently.

Could someone help the thread with these two questions?

(I would love to see some technical papers on the subjects)
