CAMEL Application Part Control Board Co-Channel Dual Polarised Code Division Multiple Access. A technology for digital transmission of radio signals between, for example, a mobile telephone and a radio base station. In CDMA, a frequency is divided using codes, rather than in time or through frequency separation. Implemented in 800 and 1900 MHz systems around the world. CDMA2000 is a radio transmission technology and backbone technology for the evolution of CDMAOne/IS-95 to 3G. CDR Call Data Recording - a feature in a telephone system that allows it to collect and record information on incoming and outgoing calls. European Conference of Postal and Telecommunication Administrations Committed Information Rate Craft Interface Terminal (CompactLink) Carrier to Interference ratio The Competitive Local Exchange Carrier is a company that competes with the already established local telephone business by providing it's own network and switching. Clock Coded Mark Inversion, line format Common Object Request Broker Architecture - provides standard object-oriented interfaces between ORBs (Object Request Broker), as well as to external applications and application platforms. Class of Service Customer Premise Equipment Central Processor Unit Cyclic Redundancy Check Channel Spacing Carrier Sense Multiple Access/Collision Avoidance is a protocol for carrier transmission in 802.11 networks. Unlike CSMA/CD (Carrier Sense Multiple Access/Collision Detect) which deals with transmissions after a collision has occurred, CSMA/CA acts to prevent collisions before they happen. In CSMA/CA, as soon as a node receives a packet that is to be sent, it checks to be sure the channel is clear (no other node is transmitting at the time). If the channel is clear, then the packet is sent. If the channel is not clear, the node waits for a randomly chosen period of time, and then checks again to see if the channel is clear. Carrier Sense Multiple Access / Collision Detection Continuous Wave Is a larger transmission line that connects smaller lines together carrying data and information. Is the measure of range of frequencies that a communications signal occupies. It is directly proportional to the amount of data transmitted or received per a specific rate of time. Bit Error Rate Bit Interleave Parity, 8 bit Bit Interleaved Parity, 24 bit Border Gateway Protocol Is telecommunication that provides multiple channels of data over a single medium or source. Base Station Base Station Controller. A key network node in 3G systems that supervises the functioning and control of multiple Base Transceiver Stations Base Transceiver Station. The equipment housed in cabinets and co-located with antennas. Cabinets include heating and airconditioning units, electrical supply, telephony connection and back-up power. (Also known as Radio Base Station.)

dB

The Decibel is a unit of comparison, in which the ratio of two power values are expressed using a logarithmic scale usually to the base 10. Although the dB is a unit of comparison it is sometimes useful to have an agreed reference point. A common reference is 1mW, which is expressed as 0dBm. 1 Watt equals 3 0 dBm, Consequently 2W, the typical maximum power of a GSM handset, is rated as 33dBm Cables and cable connectors induce signal loss, while antennas are designed to introduce signal gain. These products cite a loss or gain rating in product specs. A loss of -3 dB cuts power (mW) in half, while a gain of +3 dB doubles power. A -10 dB loss reduces power to one tenth, while a +10 dB gain increase power ten times.
