Cdma2000 is a 3G technology evolved from IS-95 CDMA technique. WCDMA is a 3G technology evolved from GSM technology.

  Cdma2000 WCDMA
Core network ANSI-41 MAP GSM MAP
Channel bandwidth 1.25 MHz (1X), 3.75 MHz (3X) 5.0 MHz
Channelization codes 4-128 (1X), 4-256 (3X) 4-256
Chip rate 1.2288 Mcps (1X), 3.6864 Mcps
(3X)
4.096 Mcps (DOCOMO),3.84 Mcps (UMTS)
Synchronized base station Yes No; but synchronized BS is Optional
Frame length 5 ms (signaling), 20, 40, 80 ms physical layer frames 10 ms for physical layer, 10,20, 40, and 80 ms for transport,Layer
Multi-carrier spreading option Yes, but in cdma2000 1X (direct spread) No (direct spread)
Modulation QPSK (forward link), BPSK (reverse link) QPSK (both links)
Modes of operation FDD FDD and TDD
Source identification code for Sector One PN code (32,768 chips),512 unique offsets are generated,using PN offsets 512 unique scrambling codes,each identifying a sector,(38,400 chips)
Source identification code for Mobile One long PN code ($2^{42}$) chips,unique offsets are generated,based on ESN, not assigned,by sector Unique scrambling codes,assigned by sector
Channel coding Convolutional and turbo code Convolutional and turbo code
Power control Both links (800 Hz) Both links (1500 Hz)
Circuit-switched core network IS-41, MSC/HLR/ AC GSM-MAP, MSC/ HLR/AUC
Packet-switched core network IETF based, PDSN/ AAA/HA/FA GPRS based, SGSN/ GGSN
Voice coder EVRC AMR
Peak data rate 614 kbps 2 Mbps
Multimedia services Yes Yes
Overhead Low (because of shared pilot,code Channel) High (because of non-shared,pilot code Channel)
