S100, what is BER? What was the FCC guard band requirement in MHz at each end of W-CDMA in 5MHz? Mq PS I hope the Nokians understand that Nokia's future totally depends on CDMA now, so all discussion of CDMA is on-topic. It isn't a matter of GSM vs CDMA for Nokia now, it's sell both as hard as they can go.

US spectra is a mess, as are US guardbands, and both a matter for FCC. (in general US "allows" more and wider interference for tranmitters, cheaper to start with, but cause more interference and problem in future) That is, one should not brag about US demanding the change to WCDMA, the same as bragging about a mess. ----paroxysmal Not really sure what the text snippet is about, but seems to be the ordinary CDMA problem with "robustness" and "fault tolerance",etc,etc..: There is an old telecom concep like "going totally haywire", losing grip of reality, etc,ect which Wozencraft-Jacobs called "anomal reception", a classic thing about FM and FSK receivers, first just increased background static (like AM) but then loud clicks, and then just a lot of garbage) AM receiver (in theory) degrade gradually,gracefully, in proportion to the noise, disturbance, while FM,FSK has this threshold of about 10dB, that is: - with FM one can improve the signal quality compared to AM, using a wider bandwidth(AM-FM radio) - however, when the noise or disturbance reaches appr 1/3 of the signal (10dB) the FM,FSK receiver starts "loosing control", a quick degradation,everything which was "gained" is lost and even more. That is, it seems that now it is not only a problem of a loud click here and there, but the whole system goes haywire and restart from zero?? LA code seem to mean Link Access Code, while the code to isolate base stations eralier was called something like Long Code or Pseudo random code,etc.. (in contrast to the perfect 64 Walsh codes which wern't that perfect in real life) That is, the sentences are not understandable without knowing the problem and context, a field test on a real system or an inbuilt test to start up a handset??
