'''Code-division multiple access''' ('''CDMA''') is a [[channel access method]] used by various [[radio]] communication technologies. CDMA is an example of [[channel access method|multiple access]], where several transmitters can send information simultaneously over a single communication channel. This allows several users to share a band of frequencies (see [[bandwidth (signal processing)|bandwidth]]). To permit this without undue interference between the users, CDMA employs [[spread spectrum]] technology and a special coding scheme (where each transmitter is assigned a code).<ref name="ref 1">{{cite book| title=Principles of Spread-Spectrum Communication Systems, 4th ed.| year=2018|last1=Torrieri|first1=Don}}</ref><ref name="ref 2">{{cite book| title=Principles of Mobile Communication, 4th ed.| year=2017|last1=Stuber|first1=Gordon L.}}</ref>
CDMA optimizes the use of available bandwidth as it transmits over the entire frequency range and does not limit the user's frequency range.
CDMA is used as the access method in many [[mobile phone standards]]. [[cdmaOne|IS-95]], also called "cdmaOne", and its [[3G]] evolution [[CDMA2000]], are often simply referred to as "CDMA", but [[UMTS]], the 3G standard used by [[GSM]] carriers, also uses "wideband CDMA", or W-CDMA, as well as TD-CDMA and TD-SCDMA, as its radio technologies.
