Major differences between WCDMA & CDMA 2000 standards are shown below:
| Parameter | W-CDMA | CDMA 2000 |
|---|---|---|
| Carrier spacing | 5 MHZ | 3.75 MHZ |
| Chip rate | 4.096 MHZ | 3.6864 MHZ |
| Data modulation | BPSK | FW-QPSK, RV-BPSK |
| Spreading | Complex (OQPSK) | Complex (OQPSK) |
| Power control frequency | 1500 HZ | 800 HZ |
| Variable data rate implement | Variable SF Multimode | Puncturing, multimode |
| Frame duration | 10 ms | 20 ms |
| Coding | turbo and convolutional | Turbo and convolutional |
| Synchronization status of BS | Asynchronous | Synchronous |
| Base station detect/acquisition | 3 steps: slot,frame,code | Time shifted PN correlation |
| Forward link pilot | TDM dedicated pilot | CDM dedicated pilot |
| Antenna beam forming | TDM dedicated pilot | Auxiliary pilot |
| Spreading factor | Higher | Lower |
| Core network | GSM map | ANSI-41 map |
| Channel bandwidth | 5.0 MHZ | 1.25 MHZ (1X),3.75 MHZ(3X) |
| Mode of operation | FDD and TDD | TDD |
| Source identification for sector | 512 Unique scrambling codes | One PN code, 512 codes unique offsets |
| Source identification codes for mobile | Unique scrambling codes | One long PN code, unique offsets |
| Overhead | High | Low |
