 | | A channelisation code defines the channel in the WCDMA system and is analogous to a time slot in a TDMA system. | | | In particular, WCDMA systems have been designed for Internet-based packet-data up to 2 Mbps in stationary or office environments, and up to 384 kbps in wide area or mobile environments. | | | The channel is then set-up according to set-up data found in the branch of codes which relates to the channelisation protocol, thereby allocating the set of resources to the set-up channel according to the set-up data. |

| | WCDMA versus GSM: handset performance testing |
| | WCDMA UE test solutions must characterize the performance breakpoints of the all-new air interface technology, as well as evaluate the device's performance over a wide range of scenarios representative of the user's experience. | | | While systematic evaluation of each layer of the handset implementation is part of a structured test methodology, the functional performance of a handset must be analyzed, as well. | | | Overall WCDMA system capacity, a critical metric for network operators, has a soft limit dependent on interference levels and interference mitigation. |

| | WCDMA x CDMA 2000? |
| | WCDMA will be the dominant 3G technology in the long term, considering the dominance of existing 3G networks and already made decisions on GSM-to-WCDMA evolution. | | | According to the Northstream analysis WCDMA will be the dominant 3G technology in the long term, mainly because of the fact that operators in the dominating GSM-network already have or will opt for WCDMA. | | | For CdmaOne operators the generally preferable path is to evolve its network to CDMA2000 1X (which has similar service-enabling capabilities to GPRS) and then on to DO and/or DV. |
