Is EV-DO really CDMA? (Score 1)

Phil, I've been doing a bit of reading lately, to understand EV-DO better, after Sprint announced they will roll it out. I read this paper: http://www.cdg.org/technology/3g/resource/1xEV_Air linkOverview_110701.pdf Now, according to this, it seems to me that EV-DO is pure TDM scheme. Albeit cleverly done, with adaptative time division. But it seems to me that it is a bit misleading to call it CDMA at all. Also, as with all TDM scheme, it implies that the bandwidth figures are a function of the number of users. I'd be interested to know your opinion on this. BTW, thanks for the brilliant papers you did while at PILC. Thanks in advance
