Part I
Types of CDMA
CDMA is categorized into the following two categories mainly on the basis of the spreading code used for transmission purposes : Synchronous CDMA - Synchronous CDMA exploits mathematical properties of orthogonality between vectors representing the data strings. Each user in synchronous CDMA uses a code orthogonal to the others' codes to modulate their signal. Asynchronous CDMA - A unique "pseudo-random" or "pseudo-noise" (PN) sequences are used in Asynchronous CDMA systems. A PN code is a binary sequence that appears random but can be reproduced in a deterministic manner by intended receivers. These PN codes are used to encode and decode a user's signal in Asynchronous CDMA in the same manner as the orthogonal codes in synchronous CDMA.
GSM is a cellular network, which means that cellular phones connect to it by searching for cells in the immediate vicinity. Cell horizontal radius varies depending on antenna height, antenna gain and propagation conditions from a couple of hundred metres to several tens of kilometres. The longest distance the GSM specification supports in practical use is approzimately 35 kilometres or 22 miles. The modulation used in GSM is Gaussian Minimum Shift Keying (GMSK), a kind of continuous-phase Frequency Shift Keying. In GMSK, the signal to be modulated onto the carrier is first smoothed with a Gaussian Low Pass Filter prior to being fed to a frequency modulator, which greatly reduces the interference to neighboring channels.

Evolution of 2G
2.5G (GPRS) 2G-systems that have implemented a packet-switched domain in addition to the circuit-switched domain. The first major step in the evolution of GSM networks to 3G occurred with the introduction of General Packet Radio Service (GPRS). . GPRS could provide data rates from 56 kbit/s up to 115 kbit/s. It can be used for services such as Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) access, Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS), and for Internet Access. 2.75G (EDGE) GPRS1 networks evolved to Enhanced Data rates for GSM Evolution (EDGE) networks with the introduction of 8PSK encoding. EDGE is standardized by 3GPP as part of the GSM family and it is an upgrade that provides a potential three-fold increase in capacity of GSM/GPRS networks.
