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
