Codedivisionmultipleaccess
Codedivisionmultipleaccess(CDMA)isachannelaccessmethodusedbyvariousradiocommunicationtechnologies.ItshouldnotbeconfusedwiththemobilephonestandardscalledcdmaOne,CDMA2000(the3GevolutionofcdmaOne)andWCDMA(the3GstandardusedbyGSMcarriers),whichareoftenreferredtoassimplyCDMA,anduseCDMAasanunderlyingchannelaccessmethod.
Oneoftheconceptsindatacommunicationistheideaofallowingseveraltransmitterstosendinformationsimultaneouslyoverasinglecommunicationchannel.Thisallowsseveraluserstoshareabandoffrequencies(seebandwidth).Thisconceptiscalledmultipleaccess.CDMAemploysspread-spectrumtechnologyandaspecialcodingscheme(whereeachtransmitterisassignedacode)toallowmultipleuserstobemultiplexedoverthesamephysicalchannel.Bycontrast,timedivisionmultipleaccess(TDMA)dividesaccessbytime,whilefrequency-divisionmultipleaccess(FDMA)dividesitbyfrequency.CDMAisaformofspread-spectrumsignalling,sincethemodulatedcodedsignalhasamuchhigherdatabandwidththanthedatabeingcommunicated.

Ingeneral,CDMAbelongstotwobasiccategories:
synchronous(orthogonalcodes)andasynchronous(pseudorandomcodes).
Codedivisionmultiplexing(SynchronousCDMA)
SynchronousCDMAexploitsmathematicalpropertiesoforthogonalitybetweenvectorsrepresentingthedatastrings.Forexample,binarystring1011isrepresentedbythevector(1,0,1,1).Vectorscanbemultipliedbytakingtheirdotproduct,bysummingtheproductsoftheirrespectivecomponents(forexample,ifu=(a,b)andv=(c,d),thentheirdotproductu·v=ac+bd).Ifthedotproductiszero,thetwovectorsaresaidtobeorthogonaltoeachother.SomepropertiesofthedotproductaidunderstandingofhowW-CDMAworks.

AsynchronousCDMA

FlexibleAllocationofResources
AsynchronousCDMAoffersakeyadvantageintheflexibleallocationofresourcesi.e.allocationofaPNcodestoactiveusers.InthecaseofCDM(synchronousCDMA),TDMA,andFDMAthenumberofsimultaneousorthogonalcodes,timeslotsandfrequencyslotsrespectivelyisfixedhencethecapacityintermsofnumberofsimultaneoususersislimited.Thereareafixednumberoforthogonalcodes,timeslotsorfrequencybandsthatcanbeallocatedforCDM,TDMA,andFDMAsystems,whichremainunderutilizedduetotheburstynatureoftelephonyandpacketizeddatatransmissions.ThereisnostrictlimittothenumberofusersthatcanbesupportedinanasynchronousCDMAsystem,onlyapracticallimitgovernedbythedesiredbiterrorprobability,sincetheSIR(SignaltoInterferenceRatio)variesinverselywiththenumberofusers.Inaburstytrafficenvironmentlikemobiletelephony,theadvantageaffordedbyasynchronousCDMAisthattheperformance(biterrorrate)isallowedtofluctuaterandomly,withanaveragevaluedeterminedbythenumberofuserstimesthepercentageofutilization.Supposethereare2Nusersthatonlytalkhalfofthetime,then2NuserscanbeaccommodatedwiththesameaveragebiterrorprobabilityasNusersthattalkallofthetime.ThekeydifferencehereisthatthebiterrorprobabilityforNuserstalkingallofthetimeisconstant,whereasitisarandomquantity(withthesamemean)for2Nuserstalkinghalfofthetime.
Inotherwords,asynchronousCDMAisideallysuitedtoamobilenetworkwherelargenumbersoftransmitterseachgeneratearelativelysmallamountoftrafficatirregularintervals.CDM(synchronousCDMA),TDMA,andFDMAsystemscannotrecovertheunderutilizedresourcesinherenttoburstytrafficduetothefixednumberoforthogonalcodes,timeslotsorfrequencychannelsthatcanbeassignedtoindividualtransmitters.Forinstance,ifthereareNtimeslotsinaTDMAsystemand2Nusersthattalkhalfofthetime,thenhalfofthetimetherewillbemorethanNusersneedingtousemorethanNtimeslots.Furthermore,itwouldrequiresignificantoverheadtocontinuallyallocateanddeallocatetheorthogonalcode,timeslotorfrequencychannelresources.Bycomparison,asynchronousCDMAtransmitterssimplysendwhentheyhavesomethingtosay,andgoofftheairwhentheydon't,keepingthesamePNsignaturesequenceaslongastheyareconnectedtothesystem.
