CDMA versus TDMA Term Paper :DTEC 6810 Submitted by:Sabareeshwar Natarajan. Fall 2006 DTEC 6810 Communication Technology CDMA Vs TDMA in travel: Both GSM and CDMA can be found across United States, which doesn’t mean that it doesn’t matter which technology we choose. When we travel domestically it is possible that we reach areas where digital service is not available. While traveling between places it is possible that we reach certain rural areas were only analog access is offered. CDMA handsets offer analog capabilities which the GSM don’t offer. Another difference between GSM and CDMA is in the data transfer methods. GSM’s high-speed wireless data technology, GPRS (General Packet Radio Service), usually offers a slower data bandwidth for wireless data connection than CDMA’s high-speed technology, which has the capability of providing ISDN (Integrated Services Digital Network) with speeds as much as 144Kbps. GSM’s benefits over the CDMA in domestic purpose are that GSM uses SIM card that identifies a user and stores the information in the handset. The SIM card can be swapped between handsets, which enable to move all the contacts to the new handset with ease. CDMA can have this flexibility with their own service that stores data on the operator’s database. This service allows the user to swap data’s between two handsets with a little trouble, but the advantage is it can be done when the handset is even lost but in GSM technology, when a handset is lost, SIM card is also lost with it. When it comes for international roaming handsets with GSM is far better than CDMA handsets because GSM is used in most the markets across the globe. Users using tri-band or quad-band can travel to Europe, India and most of Asia and still can use their cell phone. CDMA does not have this multiband capability, thus cannot be used multiple countries with ease. Differences between CDMA and TDMA: CDMA technology claims that its bandwidth is thirteen times efficient than TDMA and for
