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 radio interface termed FRAMES multiple access (FMA) has been designed consisting of two operating modes: a wideband TDMA mode with and without spreading (FMA1), and a wideband CDMA mode (FMA2). This paper describes the FMA1 radio access system proposal. The FMA2 proposal is described in Ovesjo et al.
