Code Division Multiple Access
CDMA
code division multiplexing
(CDMA) (Or "spread spectrum") A form of
multiplexing where the transmitter encodes the signal using
a pseudorandom sequence which the receiver also knows and
can use to decode the received signal. Each different random
sequence corresponds to a different communication channel.
Motorola uses CDMA for digital mobile phones. Qualcomm
pioneered the introduction of CDMA into wireless telephone
services.
