TD-SCDMA (UTRA-TDD 1.28 Mcps Low Chip Rate)

TD-SCDMA uses the TDMA channel access method combined with an adaptive synchronous CDMA component [8] on 1.6 MHz slices of spectrum, allowing deployment in even tighter frequency bands than TD-CDMA. However, the main incentive for development of this Chinese-developed standard was avoiding or reducing the license fees that have to be paid to non-Chinese patent owners. Unlike the other air interfaces, TD-SCDMA was not part of UMTS from the beginning but has been added in Release 4 of the specification.

Like TD-CDMA, it is known as IMT CDMA TDD within IMT-2000.
