CDMA
Code Division Multiple Access

Code Division Multiple Access is a method for describing physical radio channels. Data intended for a specific channel is modulated with that channel’s code. These are typically pseudorandom in nature, and possess favourable correlation properties to ensure physical channels are not confused with one another. CDMA techniques are employed within cdmaOne, CDMA2000 and UMTS
