This document outlines the modules of a course on CDMA and 3G/4G networks. Module 1 covers the principles of CDMA including radio access, power control, handovers, and the physical layer. Module 2 discusses modulation techniques, spread spectrum methods, channel coding and the UMTS air interface protocol stack. Module 3 describes the UMTS and GSM network structures and interfaces as well as new network concepts. Module 4 introduces 3G services and applications as well as the IMS architecture. Module 5 provides an introduction to 4G networks, DVB-H, wireless local loop technologies and products.
