    While the standard is part of CDMA2000, and part of the uplink from the cell phone to the base station uses CDMA, the downlink uses TDMA exclusively to increase the total throughput. The downlink is transmitting to only ONE user at a time.

    If you want to make sure go ahead and read one of the published papers that you have linked to on the Qualcomm site.
