But the original design had to be abandoned when WCDMA could not meet the (guard band) requirements of the FCC. Part of WCDMA ripped out by the roots (one sixteenth to be exact) and the remaining part is not so good to work with? Design not too good to start with or to end with? <QCDMA is designed for 1MHz (as AMPS-TDMA were 30kHz> I thought that Nokia decided that QCDMA is required for WCDMA, did I miss something? BTW, what does this mean? "[Conclusion] The adjacent cell test results show that the system performance cancel an order of magnitude when the adjacent cell interference power is 0-6 dB more than the transmission power of the base station. When the difference is more than 6 dB, the system performance declines more. During the real test, a majority of BERs are caused by paroxysmal interference. That is, there are many BERs during a certain time. This is because the system doesn't apply interleaving technology. Therefore, the test result that the system has middle-level power shows the worse system performance than interference power with more 3 dB. However, the order of magnitude is similar, which can be accepted. When interference power is more 6 dB, the test is carried out two times and the test results are different. This is also caused by paroxysmal interference. From this test item, it can be seen that the system uses different LA code to effectively resist adjacent cell interference. Thus, it can be proved that LA code can work normally" This designed by the number one CDMA guy. Does not sound very good to me.
