PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS OF TD-SCDMA IN 3G

Abstract

The growing number of consumers utilizing the Internet, companies have foreseen a consumer demand for high speed wireless access. Since current mobile cellular systems can transfer at most 115.2 kbps per user, a third generation of mobile cellular service has been under development by various organizations since 1997. This new generation of technology will support data rates up to 2 Mbps for stationary mobiles and up to 144 kbps for vehicular traffic. This project focuses mainly on TD-SCDMA. The standard that employs both code-division multiple access (CDMA) and time-division duplexing (TDD) to support both forward and reverse transmissions on one physical layer. This aspect, along with other common features of TD-SCDMA, will be studied and evaluated to determine if this new technology is a viable option for future commercial or military deployment.
