Code division multiple access (CDMA)

A digital transmission technique in which a base station assigns a unique code to each mobile device to distinguish that particular device from all others on the air. The signals are encoded using the code that the receiver also knows and uses to decode the received signal. CDMA is one of several spread spectrum techniques.
