Code division multiple access (
CDMA) is a [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Channel_access_method"]
channel access method[/ame] utilized by various radio communication technologies. It should not be confused with the [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_mobile_phone_standards"]
mobile phone standards[/ame] called
cdmaOne and [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CDMA2000"]
CDMA2000[/ame] (which are often referred to as simply "CDMA"), which use CDMA as an underlying [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Channel_access_method"]
channel access method[/ame].
One of the basic concepts in data communication is the idea of allowing several transmitters to send information simultaneously over a single communication channel. This allows several users to share a
bandwidth of frequencies. This concept is called [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiplexing"]
multiplexing[/ame]. CDMA employs
spread-spectrum technology and a special coding scheme (where each transmitter is assigned a code) to allow multiple users to be multiplexed over the same physical channel. By contrast, [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_division_multiple_access"]
time division multiple access[/ame] (
TDMA) divides access by [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time"]
time[/ame], while
frequency-division multiple access (
FDMA) divides it by [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frequency"]
frequency[/ame]. CDMA is a form of [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spread_spectrum"]
"spread-spectrum"[/ame] signaling, since the modulated coded signal has a much higher
data bandwidth than the data being communicated.
An analogy to the problem of multiple access is a room (channel) in which people wish to communicate with each other. To avoid confusion, people could take turns speaking (time division), speak at different pitches (frequency division), or speak in different languages (code division). CDMA is analogous to the last example where people speaking the same language can understand each other, but not other people. Similarly, in radio CDMA, each group of users is given a shared code. Many codes occupy the same channel, but only users associated with a particular code can understand each other. source WIKIPEDIA
