One other thing is that any signal on your channel is noise. Whether it was put there intentionally or not, it is still noise. WOW looks like my post turned out the techie crowd in the bunch, good. I guess the answers to my post bring some more questions to mind. 1) How much does CDMA gain from their power control? 2) How much power is truly lost to the filtering that is required by CDMA and not by a TDMA based system. I think that the first question is the crux to the answer of who uses more battery time. If GSM or any other system uses power control also (even if it isn't as accurate and often as CDMA) then that would cause the differance to go down. My other question associated with this still stands though, how much time is spent at the edge of coverage where you would really have to blast the power.
