Spreading Rates and Radio Configurations

■ Spreading Rate refers to the speed of the waveform which spreads


the CDMA signal, determining its spectral width and its processing
gain
• Spreading Rate 1 is 1,228,800 chips per second, identical to
current IS-95 operation. It makes signals about 1.25 MHz.
wide, and can carry certain amounts of data per sector
– This is called 1xRTT, 1x Radio Transmission Technology
• Spreading Rate 3 is 3 times Spreading Rate 1, or 3,686,400
chips per second. It makes signals about 3.75 MHz. wide and
can carry larger amounts of data per sector
– This is called 3xRTT, 3x Radio Transmission Technology
■ Radio Configuration refers to the coding arrangements and
channel definitions used
• There are several Radio Configurations for 1xRTT and several
more for 3xRTT. Each one has its own characteristics

Big Improvements in 1xRTT!
■ the FUNDAMENTAL Channel (FCH) carries Voice and/or Low Speed
Data just like today
■ New SUPPLEMENTAL Channel (SCH) carries high-speed data
• High-speed data channels allocated on a burst-by-burst basis
• Raw rates of 19.2, 38.4, 76.8, and 153.6 kbps and higher
• Independent Forward and reverse supplemental channel rates
• Airlink Dormant State is supported
• voice on fundamental channel possible while dormant!
■ Signaling can be either on
• Fundamental Channel (FCH) [bearer profile P1], or
• Dedicated Control (DCCH) [bearer profile P2]
• using a new 4 state MAC protocol to increase efficiency
■ Reverse Pilot Channel (RPCH) provides extra link budget margin
■ Fast Forward Power Control
• From old IS-95 max of 50 Hz to new constant 800 Hz!
■ Enhanced Access Channels increase occupancy, more efficient

Spreading Rate 1 Forward Control Channels

■ Forward channels can be a mix of existing IS-95B channels and new


CDMA2000 channels
• F-Pilot and F-Sync are identical to those used in IS-95B
■ It’s the Operator’s choice whether to use old, new, or both sets of
forward control channels
• F-Paging from IS-95B and/or
• F-CCCH forward common control channels from CDMA2000
– If using F-CCCH, system overhead messages are now sent by
F-BCH forward broadcast control channel
– Option: F-QPCH forward quick paging channel can be used to
increase battery life by flagging when pages are coming in
upcoming slots
– To reduce interference and collisions during system access,
use:
F-CPCCH forward common power control channel
F-CACH forward common assignment channel
– R-EACH reverse enhanced access channel
– R-CCCH reverse common control channel

10-2001 Intro. to CDMA2000 through 1xRTT v1.40 (c)2001 Scott Baxter 2 - 20


F-QPCH The Quick Paging Channel

■ IS-2000 mobiles in slotted mode can use the Quick Paging


Channel to determine whether they need to wake up and read the
paging channel to receive an incoming page
■ Each sector can have up to three F-QPCH walsh codes assigned
• Walsh Code 48 (128-bit)
• Walsh Code 80 (128-bit)
• Walsh Code 112 (128-bit)
■ The QPCH slots are 80 ms long
■ QPCH slots begin 20 ms before corresponding paging slots
■ Page indicators are transmitted on the QPCH 100 ms before the
associated paging channel slot containing the page
• Mobiles that see paging indicators on the QPCH 100 ms before
their paging slot wake up and read the paging channel; mobiles
that do not see the indicators go back to sleep

10-2001 Intro. to CDMA2000 through 1xRTT v1.40 (c)2001 Scott Baxter 2 - 21


1xRTT Access Procedures

■ IS-2000 adds two new Access methods, for three ways to access:
■ Existing Aloha Method from IS-95 Success!
• no closed-loop power control MS
Probing
• Mobiles may suffer collisions
• Mobile Power control is by successive trial and error, not
efficient
■ Power Controlled Aloha Mode
• R-EACH is power controlled
• Better power control, but still subject to collisions
■ Power Controlled Reservation Mode
• R-CCCH channel is Power Controlled
• Access to system is Reservation-based (no collisions)
• Maximizes feasible occupancy level of access channels

Faster Walsh Codes Allow Faster Channels

■ New cdma2000 channels operate at substantially faster data rates


than current IS-95 channels
■ These faster symbol rates require shorter Walsh codes, so the
Walsh codes can occur as rapidly as the symbols being
transmitted
■ It’s worth a re-visit to the basics of Walsh codes to understand the
implications of this change
• Shorter faster Walsh codes can carry more symbols, but with
less spreading gain
• When a mix of different Walsh code lengths are in use on a
sector, the shorter Walsh codes make it impossible to use
certain longer Walsh codes that would otherwise be available
– “You can’t hire him -- his grandfather died with no children!”
• With so many Walsh codes in use and so many new channels,
we must even face the possibility we’ll run out and have to use
other codes to support additional traffic

■ Entire Walsh matrices can be built by replicating and inverting -- Individual


Walsh codes can also be expanded in the same way.
■ CDMA adds each symbol of information to one complete Walsh code
■ Faster symbol rates therefore require shorter Walsh codes
■ If a short Walsh code is chosen to carry a fast data channel, that walsh
code and all its replicative descendants are compromised and cannot be
reused to carry other signals
■ Therefore, the supply of available Walsh codes on a sector diminishes
greatly while a fast data channel is being transmitted!
■ CDMA2000 Base stations can dip into a supply of quasi-orthogonal codes
if needed to permit additional channels during times of heavy loading

Quasi-Orthogonal Functions

■ CDMA2000 has 128 Walsh codes available for SR1 and 256 for
SR3; still, the use of so many new types of channels, and variable
length Walsh spreading for SCHs, can cause sectors to run out of
available Walsh codes
• Such a sector can’t assign any additional channels!
■ CDMA2000 has a method to provide additional codes in this
situation: Quasi-Orthogonal Functions
■ QOFs are generated by multiplying Walsh Codes with a quasi-
orthogonal mask
■ Following Walsh Spreading, the I and Q channels are rotated 90
degrees gated by another Walsh Code
■ This provides additional almost-orthogonal codes, orthogonal
enough to be used for additional channels that would otherwise be
impossible
■ Some manufacturers won't implement QOFs in their initial
CDMA2000 products, but all are expected to eventually

10-2001 Intro. to CDMA2000 through 1xRTT v1.40 (c)2001 Scott Baxter 2 - 38


Masks for Quasi-Orthogonal Functions

■ There are four mask


conditions used to create
Walsh and QOF functions
• 0: Walsh Codes
(perfectly orthogonal)
• 1-3: QOF functions
(approximately
orthogonal)

■ This is the fundamental channel for SR1 RC3, with frames 20 ms


long when it is carrying voice information
■ CRC and tail bits are added
■ The data is passed through a R1/4 convolutional encoder,
providing very powerful protection against bit errors
■ The resulting symbols are block-interleaved against bursty fades
■ Symbol repetition then brings the rate from 38.4 ksps to 76.8 ksps
■ Each of the phone’s reverse channels has a different walsh code;
the R-FCH always uses Walsh code #4 at 16-chip length

W12 or W14 or W28 or W48 R-SCH1 or R-EACH or R-CCCH
W24 or W68 R-SCH2

■ When a mobile transmits at SR1 with RC1 or RC2, it uses the original
coding method from IS-95 for Rate Set 1 or Rate Set 2
■ When a mobile transmits at SR1 with RC3 or RC4, it uses the totally
different arrangement shown above
• The mobile may be transmitting multiple channels, and Walsh codes
are used to keep them separate
• Walsh Code 0 is used for the Pilot and for Power Control bits
• Walsh Code 8 is the R-DCCH control channel
• Walsh Code 4 is the R-FCH fundamental channel (voice)
• Another Walsh Code is used for the Supplemental Channel 1, if there
is such a channel being transmitted, or for the R-EACH or R-CCCH
• Another Walsh Code is used for the Supplemental Channel 2, if there
is such a channel being transmitted
■ Refer to the Radio Configurations for full details of the channels

HPSK Modulation

■ Hybrid Phase Shift Keying (HPSK)


• Lowers the Peak-to-Average ratio (I.e., crest factor) of the
reverse link waveform transmitted by the mobile
• This eases the performance requirements for the power
amplifier of the mobile, making it simpler, less costly, and more
efficient using precious battery power
■ IS-95 Uses OQPSK to reduce crest factors. Won’t that work here?
• It works well when 1) there is only one waveform being
transmitted, and 2) only one carrier frequency being
transmitted
• IS-2000 uses multiple summed code channels which can drive
OQPSK signals through the origin; IS-2000 also uses multiple
RF carriers which are independent waveforms
• HPSK is able to retain its crest factor when multiple channels
are used

HPSK Imposes Walsh Code Requirements

■ In order to preserve the reduction in zero crossings and reduced


peaks provided by HPSK, the Walsh codes selected for the
various reverse channels from the mobile must avoid certain bit
patterns.
• Basic requirement: The Walsh codes must be patterns which
repeat bits at least twice before changing value. Examples:
– Walsh 1, 1, -1, -1 works since it repeats twice before
changing

Network-Side Improvements in CDMA2000

■ We've just seen how new CDMA2000 RF improvements create a


whole new type of channel which can carry fast data
• The RF link is no longer the bottleneck for mobile data!
■ Many wireless operators' business plans expect data usage to
rapidly expand, reaching bit volumes roughly equal to voice calls
within just a year or so after CDMA2000 commercial launch
• And voice traffic is still growing in the meanwhile!
■ All this new fast data has to go through some kind of equipment
• The traditional voice circuit-switched plant can't handle it
– It handles only circuit-switched 64 kb/s DS-0s, which would
be a big bottleneck for high speed data
• A whole new back-side packet data network is needed to
bypass mobile data around the switch, into internet or VPNs
■ Fortunately, existing LAN-style data technologies are up to the job,
and much more hardware-efficient than traditional switching

Functions of the PDSN

■ PDSN functions:
• Provides logical links to the radio network (RN) across the radio-
packet (R-P) interface
• Routes packets to/from external packet data networks
– Supports Simple IP and Mobile IP protocols
– Uses a layer-2 tunneling protocol (L2TP) over a private IP
network to implement packet transfer between the BSC and the
public packet data network
• Sets up, manages, and terminates PPP sessions for mobile users
• Supports standard Internet routing protocols: maintains routing tables
and performs route discovery
• Provides Foreign Agent functionality supporting the Mobile IP protocol
• Initiates Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting (AAA) for the
mobile station client to the AAA server
• Receives service parameters for the mobile client from the AAA server
• Collects usage data for accounting to be relayed to the AAA
• Allows data users to roam seamlessly across the provider’s network
while appearing to the PDN as if they were at a fixed network address

10-2001 Intro. to CDMA2000 through 1xRTT v1.40 (c)2001 Scott Baxter 2 - 82


Authentication, Authorization & Accounting

■ The AAA server provides Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting


functions for packet calls in a 1xRTT network
■ AAA Functions:
• Authentication
– PPP authentication (PAP and CHAP)
– Mobile IP authentication (User ID and password)
• Authorization
– Service profile for mobile, like an HLR stores users’ voice profiles
– Security key distribution
• Accounting
– Interface with external billing server
– Links to enterprise systems for provisioning, packet data billing
• Address management
■ All AAA transactions in some networks will initially be performed using
RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service) protocol
• New AAA protocols are expected to be standardized in the future

3G-1x Mobility Modes

■ Simple IP Service
• Dynamically Assigned IP Addresses
• CHAP Authentication
• Local Mobility (dynamic IP address valid within PDSN
coverage area)
• Uses Standard (MS-Windows) dial-up protocols in mobile /
laptop
• Optional Private Network Access via L2TP
■ Mobile IP Service
• Static (public or private) or Dynamically Assigned IP Addresses
• MIP / AAA Authentication
• Full Mobility Without Application Impact (even across MSCs)
• Private Network Access via Corporate HAs
• Secure Reverse Tunnels between FA and HA

10-2001 Intro. to CDMA2000 through 1xRTT v1.40 (c)2001 Scott Baxter 2 - 84


Simple IP

■ Subscriber is assigned a dynamic IP


address from the serving PDSN
• IP routing service is provided by the
serving provider network SIMPLE IP
■ Subscriber maintains its IP address as IMPLICATIONS
long as it is served by a radio network
with connectivity to the original PDSN •No Handoffs between
■ To provide roaming on other networks, a PDSNs
new mobility management scheme would •No mobile termination
be required capability
•No standard for roaming
• There is no standard for this process!
on other networks
■ Although Simple IP is relatively easy to
implement, its limitations will hamper
development of advanced services
• May reduce user acceptance!

Simple IP Call Flow Scenarios - 1
■ Normal Session (Mobile Initiated)
• Mobile generates call with packet data Service Option
• PCF assigned by MSC, PDSN assigned by PCF
• PDSN begins PPP (LCP) negotiation with mobile
• CHAP challenge is sent to mobile, mobile returns NAI and CHAP
secret
• PDSN sends RADIUS Access-Request to AAA Server
• AAA returns Access-Accept (and no L2TP LNS address attributes)
• PDSN knows this is normal PPP situation, assigns IP address to
mobile via IPCP
• PPP (LCP/NCP) negotiation completes, mobile exchanges bearer
data
■ Session Transition to Dormancy
• No data has been exchanged for TD seconds (a per-mobile tunable
value)
• MSC drops airlink connection to mobile, drops SVC on L-interface to
PCF
• PCF maintains connection with PDSN over R-P interface
• PPP states remain unchanged in mobile and in PDSN (upper layers
unaware of change)
10-2001 Intro. to CDMA2000 through 1xRTT v1.40 (c)2001 Scott Baxter 2 - 87
Simple IP Call Flow Scenarios - 2

■ Re-activation after Dormancy (Mobile Initiated)


• Dormant mobile has data to send, generates call with packet data SO
• MSC routes SVC re-connection to previously assigned PCF
• PCF and PDSN recognizes this as an existing PPP session (by
mobile’s IMSI)
• PPP state and IP address are all unchanged during dormancy.
• Mobile sends bearer data, PDSN forwards to backbone network.
■ Re-activation after Dormancy (PCF/PDSN Initiated)
• PDSN receives packets from Internet, forwards to PCF
• PCF determines mobile is dormant, buffers data for mobile
• PCF initiates new SVC request to MSC with IMSI of dormant mobile
• MSC pages mobile, mobile responds, MSC acknowledges connect to
PCF
• PPP state and IP address are all unchanged during dormancy
• PCF forwards bearer data to mobile

Simple IP Virtual Private Network

■ Simple IP VPN provides access to a private/corporate network from a


mobile station.
■ VPNs provide an encrypted connection between distributed user sites
over a public network.
■ A VPN provides an end-to-end tunnel between sites which guarantees
the safe passage of packets of data through the Internet using encryption
to protect the data payload as well as the source and destination
address.
■ In contrast to Simple IP where the IP address is assigned by the PDSN,
in this configuration a VPN gateway (such as the Nortel Networks
Contivity server) assigns to the mobile node a dynamic or static publicly
routable address.

Mobile IP Overview
■ Mobile IP provides mobility to IP users
• allows a host to be reachable at the same address even as it
moves across different networks; offers seamless roaming
• works with multiple access technologies, such as Ethernet,
wireless LAN, PPP links, cellular, etc.
• completely transparent to applications
■ Three Fundamental Entities in Mobile IP
• Mobile Node
• Home Agent - with mobile home location
• Foreign Agent - serves as a default router for mobile node
■ Standards
• RFC 2002 - 2006 + TIA IS-835
• RFC 2344 - Reverse Tunneling
• RFC 2794 - Mobile NAI Extension
• Foreign Agent Challenge/Response

Mobile IP Session, Step-by-Step (1)
1. The mobile station accesses the radio network for a data session. This includes
getting the necessary fundamental and supplemental traffic channel. Procedures
for this need is defined in IS-2000 and IS-707.
2. The BSC communicates over the RP interface as defined in IOS version 4.0, with
the PDSN to initiate a data session. The underlying lower layers will support the
PPP connection.
3. The PDSN initiates a PPP connection to the mobile station. Messages and
procedures for this in based on the Point-to-Point Protocol RFC1661.
4. IPCP based on RFC1332 is used to configure the PPP link for IP communication.
PPP can support other network layer protocols in addition to IP
5. PPP is established between the Mobile Station and the PDSN. The PDSN sends
FA advertisements to the mobile station. (Or the mobile station may send an
Agent Solicitation message following the PPP initialization.) The PDSN/FA
informs the mobile station of its capabilities and care-of-addresses that are
available for use. In these advertisement messages, the PDSN will indicate its
ability to support reverse tunneling, that is used to download information from the
HA to the FA.
6. Mobile station sends a MIP registration request (MIP RRQ) to the PDSN. This
request has to be forwarded to the user’s HA so that the HA is made aware of the
user’s location. In these registration requests, the mobile station can also specify
reverse tunneling.
7. The PDSN extracts authentication information from the request and forwards to
the local AAA server using Radius Protocol. The PDSN may also request for user
profile for the user’s Home Agent address.

10-2001 Intro. to CDMA2000 through 1xRTT v1.40 (c)2001 Scott Baxter 2 - 94


Mobile IP Session, Step-by-Step (2)
8. The local AAA server verifies that he NAI and password and returns an
acknowledgement to the PDSN.
9. The Foreign Agent (FA) function in the PDSN sends the MIP registration
request message to the Home Agent
10. The home agent sends a response back to the PDSN(FA). Message
formats and procedures are based on RFC2002 – IP Mobility Support.
The reply will include indication on whether the HA can support forward
and reverse tunneling.
11. The PDSN sends the registration reply to the mobile station. Accounting
is initiated to AAA server based on RFC 2139 standards.
12. Data flow between mobile station and PDSN. Interim accounting data
may be collected and forwarded to the AAA server.
13. Mobile station terminates data/PPP connection by sending MIP de-
registration request using procedures in RFC2002 PPP connection is torn
down. Accounting is suspended
14. During the session PDSN collects statistics relevant to the session and
forwards to the AAA server in a Usage Data Record (UDR) format

Home Agent & Foreign Agent
■ The Home Agent
• Located within the MNs Home Network
• Termination point for Mobile IP tunnels
• Receive and route packets to/from the FA
• Assign dynamic addresses for mobiles
• provides Mobile IP functionality by maintaining IP sessions as users
move among cells
■ Most operators will equip their own Home Agents allowing users to access
the outside network, such as the Internet while roaming
■ Large users & Corporations may equip their own home agent in their
network linked to a wireless provider
■ Using Mobile IP, their users will appear to be on their home corporate
network while using the wireless system
■ Foreign Agent
• Located within PDSN
• Maintains awareness of visiting MNs
• Acts as a relay between the MN and it’s Home Agent (HA)
• RADIUS Clients

10-2001 Intro. to CDMA2000 through 1xRTT v1.40 (c)2001 Scott Baxter 2 - 96


Tunneling

■ All home agents and foreign agents must implement IP-in-IP


Encapsulation for tunneling purposes.
■ A first IP packet is placed within the payload portion of a new IP
packet. The Outer IP Header:
• Source Address and Destination Address are set to the entry-
point and the exit-point of the tunnel
■ Tunnel Soft State
• Path Maximum Transfer Unit (MTU) of the tunnel
• Length of the tunnel (hops)
• Packet Fragmentation may be required
■ In addition, Mobile IP may implement
• Minimum Encapsulation within IP - by removing redundant
information in the encapsulating (outer) and encapsulated
(inner) IP headers
• Generic Routing Encapsulation (GRE) - support multi-protocol
encapsulation

Active IP Session “Always On” Implications
■ Active IP Session Issues:
• handset must have an active IP session to receive PUSH content
– may be in RF dormant mode but still have an active IP session.
■ Advantages:
• allows for "push" info to be delivered to the MS at all times.
• allows for a quicker return to an active transmit/receiver state
• Provides opportunity for more new services to be integrated
■ Disadvantages:
• Requires an active session for each user/sub 7X24 - worst case.
• If take rates are high V4.0 IP addresses could exhaust
– V6.0 IP may not be available in implementation time frame
• Large "PDSN farms" may be needed - ($$ and floor space)
■ Possible Alternatives:
• Limit Always-On with rate structures
– Quality of Service features not available in first release of 3G
• Use SMS to signal handset to establish session for push content
– Not within Standards, Requires development by handset vendors

cdma2000 Layering

■ Earlier sections of these courses have considered the physical


layers, codes, and channels in detail
■ The beauty of cdma2000 is supported by the physical layer but the
real flexibility comes from the Link and Upper Layers
■ The Upper Layers define the services and applications supported
by cdma2000
• New services and applications will be developed and defined
throughout the entire service lifetime of the 3G technology
• The layer features and definitions make it possible for
application developers to plan and exploit standardized
capabilities
■ The Link Layers give protocol support and perform the functions
necessary to map the data transport needs of the upper layers into
specific capabilities and characteristics of the physical layer

Just What IS the MAC Layer?
■ Located in OSI Link Layer 2, the MAC and LAC sublayers provide:
• A wide performance range of upper layer services at speeds of 1.2
kbps to > 2 Mbps.
• Multimedia services: combinations of voice, packet data, and circuit
data services operating simultaneously.
• QoS control mechanisms: balance the varying QoS requirements
of the multiple concurrent users and services.
■ The MAC Layer supports THREE important functions:
• Best Effort Delivery: Reasonably reliable transmission over the
radio link via an RLP (Radio Link Protocol) that supplies a “Best
Effort” level of reliability.
• Multiplexing and QoS control: Enforcement of negotiated QoS
levels by mediating conflicting requests from the competing
services and by the appropriate prioritization of access requests.
– Accomplished using PLICFs, Physical Layer Independent
Convergence Functions
• Short Data Bursts: This capability is available when the mobile is
in a Dormant Data Service instance.
■ Active, Control Hold, Suspend, and Dormant are the Packet Data
Service States, since all the states do not reside in the MAC Sublayer.

Active State

■ Active State is specified as part of the Traffic Channel Substate.


■ Attributes in Active State of Traffic Channel Substate:
• The Call Control Instance is in the Conversation Substate.
• Pilot_Gating_Use_Rate is set to ‘0’ (reverse pilot continuously
transmitted, NOT gated)
– Important: If the mobile station has user data to send, then
the Pilot_Gating_Use_Rates must be ‘0’ to request
continuous reverse pilot and user traffic transmission.
• Flow of data traffic is permitted by the Multiplex Sublayer.
■ Packet data service processing can exist in two states:
• Inactive State: mobile does not provide packet data svcs.
• Active State: mobile station provides packet data services
■ ACTIVE state is described in two parts:
• in Layer 2 (MAC Layer) under RLP and Packet Data Svcs. text
• in Layer 3 (Upper Layer Signaling) Traffic Ch. Substate text
10-2001 Intro. to CDMA2000 through 1xRTT v1.40 (c)2001 Scott Baxter 2 - 117
Control Hold State
■ Control Hold State: Now described, functionally, within the scope of
the IS-2000.5 (Upper Layer Signaling) document as part of the Traffic
Channel Substate.
■ The following are the attributes when the mobile station is the Control
Hold State of the Traffic Channel Substate:
• The Call Control Instance is in the Conversation Substate.
• Pilot_Gating_Use_Rate is set to ‘1’ (i.e. the reverse pilot is gated at
some interval).
• Flow of data traffic is blocked by the Multiplex Sublayer.
■ Within the Mobile’s Capability Information Record, which describes the
features that are supported by the mobile, if the CHS_Supported field
is set to ‘1’ then the mobile supports the Control Hold State.
Otherwise, the mobile sets this field to ‘0’. (i.e. The Control Hold State
is optionally supported by the Mobile Station.)
■ Main point: The Control Hold State is now only described within the
Layer 3 (Upper Layer Signaling) Traffic Channel Substate text. It is no
longer referenced within the MAC Sublayer of the IS-2000-A standard
text.

10-2001 Intro. to CDMA2000 through 1xRTT v1.40 (c)2001 Scott Baxter 2 - 118
Suspend State
■ Suspend State: Not actually mentioned by name in the IS-2000-A
text, but implied in its functionality description, this packet data service
state now available as part of IS-2000.5 (Upper Layer Signaling).
■ Simply stated, if the mobile station stores its Service Configuration
Record (SCR), and the USE_SYNC_IDs is equal to ‘1’, the mobile
station may include the Sync_ID field as part of it’s message. If this
occurs while the mobile is in a Dormant Data Service instance, then the
mobile is in the Suspended State.
■ Main Point: The Suspended State is only described within the Layer
3 (Upper Layer Signaling) Traffic Channel Substate text. It is no longer
referenced within the MAC Sublayer text.
• Depending on whether the SCR (Service Configuration Record) is
stored or not on the the mobile station, its packet data service state
maybe as Suspended or Dormant.

10-2001 Intro. to CDMA2000 through 1xRTT v1.40 (c)2001 Scott Baxter 2 - 119
Dormant State
■ Defined within Layer 2 (MAC Sublayer) -- [IS-707.A-2 --Chapter 12:
High Speed Packet Data Service Option 33 text)]
■ In the Dormant State, the Packet Service Option is disconnected, but
PPP link is still connected.
■ Essentially, when the mobile station exits activity on the Traffic
Channel, it enters into the Call Control instance of Dormant.
• Again, depending on whether the SCR (Service Configuration
Record) is stored or not on the mobile, its packet data services
state is categorized as Suspended or Dormant.
■ Main Point: While Active, Control Hold, and Suspend states are
functionally defined in Layer 3 - Upper Layer Signaling, the Dormant
state is only defined within the Layer 2 - MAC Sublayer.

10-2001 Intro. to CDMA2000 through 1xRTT v1.40 (c)2001 Scott Baxter 2 - 120
Service Configuration and Negotiation
■ During Traffic Channel operation, the MS and BS communicate by
exchanging frames on the Forward and Reverse Traffic Channels
■ The MS and BS use a common set of attributes (i.e. a service configuration)
consisting of negotiable and non-negotiable parameters:
• Forward and Reverse Multiplex Options
• Forward and Reverse Traffic Channel Configurations
• Radio Configurations/other attributes of FWD/REV traffic channels.
• Forward and Reverse Traffic Channel Transmission Rates
• can include all or just a subset of rates supported by the associated
FWD/REV multiplex option
■ Multiplex Options: divide frames into primary, secondary, signaling bits
■ Rate Set: defines the supported frame structures and transmission rates
■ Service Option Connection: fully describes one traffic channel instance
• Includes service option, Forward traffic type, Reverse traffic type, and
service option connection reference identifier (sr_id).
• Sr_id - Service Reference Identifier: A unique number assigned to each
connected service option instance. Service Reference 1 (sr_id 1) is
assigned to service instance 1, Service Reference 2 is assigned to
service instance 2, and so on.

10-2001 Intro. to CDMA2000 through 1xRTT v1.40 (c)2001 Scott Baxter 2 - 121
Packet Data Service Call Control States
The mobile station performs a packet data service call control function
consisting of the following states:
■ Null State:
• Call control functionality is in this state when packet data service
has not been activated.
■ Initialization State:
• In this state, the mobile station attempts to connect a packet data
service option.
■ Connected State:
• In this state, the packet data service option is connected. (Note: A
connected service option that is required for all ACTIVE packet
data services to function.)
■ Dormant State:
• In this state, the packet data service is disconnected.
■ Reconnect State:
• In this state, the mobile station attempts to connect a previously
connected packet data service option.

10-2001 Intro. to CDMA2000 through 1xRTT v1.40 (c)2001 Scott Baxter 2 - 122
Packet Data States

■ Active State
• Dedicated traffic channels (e.g., fundamental or
supplemental) are allocated;
• The Activity Timer starts when no traffic is exchanged and
reset when there is traffic to be exchanged;
• Traffic channel is released when the Activity Timer expires.
■ Control Hold State
• A dedicated control channel is maintained on which MAC
control commands (e.g., to begin a high speed data burst)
can be transmitted.
• Power control is also maintained so that high speed burst
operation can begin with minimum delay.

10-2001 Intro. to CDMA2000 through 1xRTT v1.40 (c)2001 Scott Baxter 2 - 123
Packet Data States (cont’d)

■ Suspended State
• No dedicated channels to or from the user are maintained
• The state information for RLP is maintained
• The base station and the user maintain a “virtual active set” which
permits either the user or the base station to know which base station
can best be used (accessed by the user, or paged by the base
station) in the event that packet data traffic for the user occurs.
• Supports a slotted substate that permits the user’s mobile device to
preserve power in a highly efficient manner.

10-2001 Intro. to CDMA2000 through 1xRTT v1.40 (c)2001 Scott Baxter 2 - 124
Packet Data Service State Parameters (1)
■ Control Hold Mode: Within the Mobile’s Capability Information
Record, if CHS_Supported is set to ‘1’, then the mobile can also
include the Gating_Rate_Set field which indicates the set of Reverse
Pilot gating rates that it supports.
■ Active/Inactive Clarification: There are only TWO states defined for
Mobile Station Packet Data Service processing -- Active and Inactive.
However, as stated earlier, there are FIVE packet data service call
control functions performed by the mobile:
• Null State ……………. (part of Inactive State processing)
• Initialization State …… (part of Active State processing)
• Connected State ……... (part of Active State processing)
• Dormant State ……….. (part of Active State processing)
• Reconnect State ……… (part of Active State processing)
■ Suspend State: Sync_ID: Service Configuration
Synchronization Identifier. This is a 16-bit CRC computed over the
entire Service Configuration information record and Non-negotiable
Service Configuration information record and used for determining
whether these two information records should be included in the
Service Connect Message sent by the base station to the mobile
station. (cont. …)

10-2001 Intro. to CDMA2000 through 1xRTT v1.40 (c)2001 Scott Baxter 2 - 125
Packet Data Service State Parameters (2)
■ Pilot_Gating_Rate: Reverse pilot gating rate on the Reverse Pilot Channel.
■ Pilot_Gating_Use_Rate: Reverse pilot gating rate enable indicator.
• indicates whether ‘1’ or not ‘0’ the Reverse Pilot Channel is gated
• Gating allows the mobile to send the reverse pilot channel intermittently (i.e.
not continuously) in order to save battery power. Data is only transmitted
when pilot gating is turned OFF.
■ SYNC_ID - Service Configuration Synchronization Identifier:
• a 16-bit CRC computed over the entire Service Configuration information
record and Non-negotiable Service Configuration information record
• used for determining whether these two information records should be
included in the Service Connect Message sent by the base station to the
mobile station.
• mobile generates based on the configuration information and sends it to the
base station in Origination Message or Page Response Message.
• base station computes based on records sent to the mobile
• If the computed value matches the one sent by the mobile station, then
base station does not send these two information records over the air and
expects the mobile station to start using the stored ones.
• (i.e. If SYNC_ID is used to help determine if the Mobile is using the it’s
stored SCR’s. If so, then the mobile is in the Suspended State.)

Operation of PLICFs

■ What is a PLICF?
• Physical Layer Independent Convergence Function, one of
the three sub-layers of the MAC layer
■ The PLICF for a data service instance incorporates all of the
state information for that instance only
■ Each PLICF requests (from Resource Control) logical channels
as needed for proper operation
■ Resource Control requests physical channels to support the
logical channels requested by PLICFs (from the Mux and QoS
Sublayer)
■ If all of the logical channels that are associated with a physical
channel have been released, then Resource Control performs
the same resource release procedure for the associated
physical channel

Resource Control

■ Acts as a central clearinghouse for all


resource requests
■ Locks and Unlocks resources and
harmonizes state transition across CR1 CR2
multiple PLICFs
■ Maintains a database to control the
operating configuration of the mobile,
including dtch ✓
• the current logical to physical
channel mapping, and
dmch ✓ ✓
• the currently defined physical
channel configuration (e.g.,
dedicated vs. common control … … …
operation; number of active SCHs;
DCCH vs. FCH; etc.).
✔ = Locked
blank = unlocked
CR = Connection Reference

Multiple Services

■ Multiple services with different QoS requirements may be


connected simultaneously.
■ The Resource Control coordinates between multiple services
■ State transitions within each PLICF are synchronized
■ This synchronization is necessary because each state (e.g.,
Active, Suspended) has a certain set of attributes that
correspond to the behavior of the BS/MS as a whole
• For example, in the Suspended - slotted substate the MS
operates in slotted mode and RC assures that all the
PLICFs transition to this state simultaneously.

Preserve data integrity.

■ This table shows the four main categories or classes of payload


data and the types of applications which produce them
■ Each class has specific requirements relating to delay, accuracy of
transmission, and order of transmission
■ The widely differing transmission requirements of the various
classes are generally compatible

LAC Sublayer Operation
■ Link Access Control (LAC) Sublayer: the upper sublayer of Layer 2
• implements data link protocol for transport and delivery of Layer 3
signaling messages
• Uses services provided by Layer 1 and MAC Sublayer
■ LAC Signaling Planes:
• Data Plane (contains protocol, where PDUs are generated,
processed, and transferred)
• Control Plane (where processing decisions are made).
■ LAC Sublayer provides:
• services to Layer 3 in the Data Plane. SDUs are passed between
Layer 3 and the LAC Sublayer.
• proper encapsulation of the SDUs into LAC PDUs, which are
segmented and reassembled and transferred as LAC PDU
fragments to the MAC sublayer
■ Processing within the LAC Sublayer is done sequentially in the Data
Plane, with processing entities passing the partially formed LAC PDU
to each other in well established order -- (Note: sublayers are
coordinated in the Control Plane).
■ Logical Channels: SDUs and PDUs are processed and transferred
along functional paths, without the need for the Upper Layers to be
aware of the radio characteristics of the physical channels.

LAC Sublayer Functions on Dedicated Channels
■ LAC Sublayer performs the following functions on dedicated channels:
• Delivery of SDUs to Layer 3 peer entities using ARQ techniques for
reliability (see ARQ sublayer).
• Assembling and validating PDUs for carrying the SDUs
• Segmentation of encapsulated PDUs into LAC PDU fragments of
sizes suitable for transfer by the MAC Sublayer
• Reassembly of LAC PDU fragments into encapsulated PDUs
• Access control through “global challenge” authentication
• Address control to ensure delivery of PDUs based upon addresses
which identify particular mobile stations
■ Service Access Point (SAP): Layer 3-to-Layer 2, Layer 2-to-Layer 1,
and LAC Sublayer-to-MAC Sublayer exchanges use an interface
known as a Service Access Point.
• At the SAP, Layer 3 and Layer 2 exchange SDUs and Message
Control and Status Blocks (MCSBs) using a set of primitives.
– Primitive: An atomic, well-defined conceptual method of
transferring data and control information between two adjacent
layers or sublayers. It is conventionally represented as a
function invocation, with the data and control information
passed as parameters.
