Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) Signaling for Modulated Reflector Technology

Abstract
Current cellphone handsets expend most of their power in transmission of RF signals.  By using modulated reflector technology, handset battery life can be extended by an order of magnitude.  In order to integrate with existing cellphone infrastructure, of which a large portion uses CDMA signalling, an implementation of CDMA for modulated reflector technology is described.

Application(s)

• Wireless internet/intranet
• Cellphone

Advantages
Prolonged battery life
