The technical aspects of each technology are discussed with an emphasis on understanding key characteristics of each specification. Technologies including PDC, cdmaOne (IS-95), TDMA (IS-54, IS-136), GSM, GPRS, EDGE, cdma2000 (IS-2000), cdma2000 1xEV- DO (IS -856), and W-CDMA (UMTS FDD) are discussed. Less widely deployed technologies such as cdma2000 1xEV-DV, DECT+, UMTS TDD, and TD-SCDMA are mentioned briefly with limited discussion due to their expected limited use.Read More
