Wideband Code Division Multiple Access, one of two 3G
standards that makes use of a wider spectrum than CDMA and therefore can transmit and receive information for faster and more efficiently. Co- developed by NTT DoCoMo, it is being backed by most European mobile operators and is expected to compete with cdma2000 to be the de facto 3G standard. www.3gnewsroom.com/html/glossary/w.shtml Wideband Code Division Multiple Access: The third generation standard offered to the International Telecommunication Union by GSM proponents. www.braddye.com/glossary.html Wideband code division multiple access. Typically defined with 5 MHz channels and 3.84 MHz carrier signals www.dbmengineering.com/glossary.html A third generation technology for wideband digital radio communications in Internet, multimedia, video, and other capacity-demanding applications at an expected maximum data rate of two Mbps. www.cingular.ky/cingular/glossary.php Wideband Code Division Multiple Access. www.keep-talking.net/glossary.htm The 3G transmission standard used for UMTS, the successor to GSM. It uses DSSS to provide code vision multiple access with a bandwidth of 5 MHz. www.radio- electronics.com/info/cellulartelecomms/cellular_glossar y/cellularglossary_t.php Wideband Code-Division Multiple Access (W-CDMA), also known as IMT-2000, is a 3rd generation wireless technology.
