Mighty: Thanks. What seems to be difficult here is to see what happens in the real world - worldwide. For example, there is still the drumbeat that 3 G is delayed. Sure, that is so in Europe and wherever W-CDMA is trying to use a secondary system - specifically asynchonous - to try to do what CDMA 2000 can do easily. Perhaps someday, somehow, there will be a recognition that 3G is on a roll - that roll is CDMA 2000. But, let's not hold our breath. One of the most strange elements of this is that Wall Street fails to understand what is simple - CDMA 2000 is 3 G and it is in operation now. Enough. Best. Chaz

Hi ML, What elements in W-CDMA are asynchronous? Does one of these elements then need to acquire sync? Would we be talking bit sync, frame sync, or even super-frame sync? Is it safe to assume that all sectors in a cell are synchronous? If the downlinks of one cell are not synchronous with the downlinks of an adjacent cell, doesn't soft handoff become difficult or impossible? TIA, Ron

Lakers-- thanks for the welcome, and the helpful information. I was aware that most license agreements in the past year included TD-SCDMA, but the quote by Li Shihe is new to me-- undoubtedly excellent fodder in Qualcomm's legal arsenal. Could you explain a little more about how the synchronization concept is different between TD and 2000? In both cases, the objective is the same, namely placing the bits in correct order -- right? How do they get around a base reference source like GPS to synchronize? Thanks! BR
