Abstract

Today's 3rd generation (3G) cellular networks based on technologies such as CDMA 1xRTT have increased tremendously the capabilities and speeds for wireless data. CDMA 1xRTT based networks provide the high-speed data rates users seek to make wireless an efficient and cost-effective solution for Internet access and access to corporate information. New internet-enabled phones and PDAs have now become popular for users to conveniently utilize 1xRTT networks for wireless data services in addition to voice communications.

1xRTT is the 3rd Generation digital cellular technology based on the IS-95 CDMA platform. Like IS-95 CMDA, 1xRTT utilizes unique PN (Pseudo-Random Noise) sequences to spread voice and data traffic simultaneously across a 1.25 MHz bandwidth of spectrum. 1xRTT is currently capable of delivering peak data rates up to 144 kpbs. Future migration into newer technologies include 1xEV-DO which will deliver peak data rates up to 2.4 Mbps.
