It can be retrieved by anonymous FTP from lorien.qualcomm.com (192.35.156.5) in the directory /pub/cdma. Due to copyright considerations, chapters 2-5 of the CAI are not yet available for FTP. They deal only with the analog FM mode used for backward compatibility with existing cellular systems and as such contain material previously copyrighted by TIA. If or when we receive permission to release these chapters, we will. The /pub/cdma directory contains the following files: announce - this file (ascii text) copyright - copyright notice (ascii text - please read) FrontMatter.ps.Z - Table of Contents, compressed Postscript Chapt1.ps.Z - Chapter 1, " " Chapt2-5-notice Chapt6.ps.Z Chapt7.ps.Z AppendA.ps.Z - Appendices AppendB.ps.Z AppendC.ps.Z AppendD.ps.Z AppendE.ps.Z AppendF.ps.Z The RSA MD-5 message digests for these files, as computed on a Sun Sparcstation, are as follows: 18cd3fa05520dbd289936bf8d64b0743 copyright 56d3da1d12b69756a3505ee416c8d0d3 FrontMatter.ps.Z 2da2c9970ba0566bf60130c7000fd522 Chapt1.ps.Z 3a693d7b04f2cc68fec629228f4e3885 Chapt6.ps.Z 8e31076167186c84a762f3c5867b0bc5 Chapt7.ps.Z d99d63bd845fc98939ffebbba31fe6f4 AppendA.ps.Z 93a61a01890c5deeaef0844533440fd8 AppendB.ps.Z dd7c78429f9a7456db36abffb312b6fe AppendC.ps.Z ba162fc6eeccaa68605c2756815ff748 AppendD.ps.Z 9de7775645fc1ffeca42161d8e6ca921 AppendE.ps.Z 5757c868512e77986bd297d60a6554d6 AppendF.ps.Z As Qualcomm's connection to the Internet is a 56kb/s link, we encourage other sites with faster connections to also make these files available so we can minimize the load on our connection.

The title is "An Overview of the Application of Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) to Digital Cellular Systems and Personal Cellular Networks". The file name is /pub/cdma/Overview.ps.Z and is in compressed Postscript format. The 64-page document provides a comprehensive technical overview of the basic design principles behind Qualcomm's CDMA system. Some of the material was originally in our internal version of the CAI, but being tutorial in nature it was removed from the official version released to the TIA standards process. Considerable new material has also been added to reflect actual results from the field tests in San Diego. When logging into lorien.qualcomm.com, use "anonymous" as your user name, and give your actual name as the password. Be sure to specify image (binary) mode when retrieving this file. You will need the UNIX "uncompress" command (or equivalent) and a Postscript printer or interpreter to print or display this document. As before, we encourage other sites to pick up this document and make it available to others by anonymous FTP to help limit the load on Qualcomm's 56k connection to the Internet. Enjoy!
