3G Standards
3G Standard is created by ITU-T and is called as IMT-2000. The aim of IMT-2000 is to harmonize worldwide 3G systems to provide Global Roaming.

IMT 2000 - International Mobile Telecommunication Global standard for 3G wireless communication.
It provides a framework for worldwide wireless access It brings down different technologies, all vendors and standard organizations into one to achieve the vision of 3G.

IMT - 2000
Vision 3G & IMT 2000 are,
Common initial spread spectrum worldwide (1.8-2.2GHz band) Multiple radio environments(cellular, cordless, satellite, LAN) Wide range of telecommunication services(voice, data, multimedia, internet) Flexible radio bearers for increased spread spectrum efficiency Data rates up to 2Mb/s for indoor Maximum use of IN (Intelligent Networks) capabilities(for service & transport) Global seamless roaming and service delivery across IMT 2000 networks Support of VHE Virtual Home Environment & UPT Universal Personal Telecommunication) Enhanced security & performance Integration of satellite & terrestrial systems to provide global coverage

Multiple Access Schemes

FDMA
TDMA CDMA
Code

Time

1 2 N

Frequency

Frequency Division Multiple Access (FDMA), different frequencies for different users
example Nordic Mobile Terminal (NMT) systems

Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA), same frequency but different timeslots for different users,
example Global System for Mobile Communication (GSM) GSM also uses FDMA

Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA), same frequency and time but users are separated from each other with orthogonal codes

CDMA - 2000
CDMA 2000 or WCDMA - Wideband Code Division Multiple Access FDMA and TDMA are not efficient enough
TDMA wastes time resources FDMA wastes frequency resources

CDMA can exploit the whole bandwidth constantly
