Michael(s) - CDMA handover. It isn't that CDMA doesn't do handovers, it is that they implicitly must do what Ericsson claims is unique to their patent - handover at the same frequency (I would be stunned if that held up, in court, to the requirement for non-obviousness. As I said earlier, I, a relative non-expert, could have come up with that patent in several hours. No joke.). And CDMA has been around a lot longer than the Ericsson patent.

Actually as Clark said CDMA does require handoffs but mostly they use mobile assisted handoffs (I think) and the patent Ericcsson filed was pretty limited in its definitions of using the base as the power controller.
