An evaluation of several multiple access schemes against UMTS criteria has been carried out within the European FRAMES project. Based on this comprehensive evaluation, a harmonised multiple access platform termed FRAMES multiple access (FMA) has been designed consisting of two modes: a wideband TDMA mode with and without spreading (FMA 1), and a wideband CDMA mode (FMA 2). This paper describes the FMA 2 radio access system proposal. The FMA 1 proposal is described in Ovesjo (1997).
