The CDMA2000 Standards Documents
■ Although the standards are dry reading, they are the prime source
of authoritative detail on each new technology. Know them!
■ The CDMA IS-2000 Standard is broken into six major sections
• Section 2 presents a high overview of Radio Transmission
Technology, physical layer
• Section 3 includes key features and functionality of the Media
Access Control Layer
• Section 4 includes key features and functionality of the Link
Access Control Layer
• Section 5 includes key features and functionality of the Upper
Signaling Layer, Layer 3
• Section 6 includes analog overlay compatibility

Specific Performance Improvements
■ More effective Mobile signal
• Reverse Link Pilot transmitted by mobile in advanced modes
– Allows synchronous demodulation
• Mobile transmits a continuous waveform
– Not like today's mobile TX data burst randomizing
■ Improved convolutional encoding for more robust channels
• Much better protection against FER
■ Faster power control on forward link
• Finally the mobile can say what it wants 800x per second
■ Forward Link Orthogonal Transmit Diversity (OTD)
• Complex, but can gives diversity gain
■ Quick-paging channel improves slotted-mode paging
• Greatly enhanced battery life, standby time
■ Auxiliary pilots support beam-forming and smart antennas
• Expect advanced smart antenna products in 3-5 years

CDMA2000 Compatibility with IS-95B & IS-95
■ CDMA2000 systems still support operation of IS-95 mobiles just like today
• IS-95B radio interface operation is still fully supported
• IS-707 data services standard still fully implemented
• Familiar vocoders in widespread use still supported
– IS-127 8K EVRC
– IS-733 13K vocoder
• IS-637 SMS supported
• IS-683 Over-The-Air (OTA) Activation fully supported
• IS-98 and IS-97 BTS and Mobile specs still apply
• Pilot, Sync and Paging channels of IS-95 are still retained as Common
Broadcast Channels in CDMA2000
■ IS-2000 can be deployed in overlay mode with existing IS-95 carriers
■ This compatibility allows operators to immediately implement CDMA2000
without waiting for widespread deployment of special CDMA2000 mobiles

One Operator’s Spectrum viewed by
IS-95, 1xRTT, and 3xRTT Users
REVERSE LINK FORWARD LINK
■ IS-95 and IS-2000 1xRTT can operate using single RF carriers and
multiples in any combination that will fit in operator’s licensed spectrum
■ IS-2000 3xRTT operates using groups of three carriers each on the
forward link, and triple-wide single carriers on the reverse link
■ Only 3 groups of forward 3xRTT carriers and three reverse 3xRTT carriers
are possible in a single 30 MHz. block (15 MHz. uplink, 15 MHz. downlink)
• No room for the last carrier of the fourth 3x group, so only 3 groups
will fit in a 15 MHz. PCS licensed block

■ 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

■ 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

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.
■ Mobile IP authentication
• Contains three parts:
– PDSN initiated access authentication and authorization
– Home Agent initiated Mobile IP registration authentication
– Foreign Agent and Home Agent Security Association.

10-2001 Intro. to CDMA2000 through 1xRTT v1.40 (c)2001 Scott Baxter 2 - 114
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.

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.

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. …)

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

Functional Entity Definitions
■ Signaling
• Performs Channel Assignment, Service Negotiation,
Handoff, etc
■ Packet/Circuit/Voice PLICF
• Interacts with the Resource Control and the Peer PLICF to
coordinate state transitions between the MS and BS
■ RMAC PLICF
• Controls the behavior of the BS/MS when in Dormant State
■ MUX & QoS
• realtime prioritization of the use of dedicated traffic
resources
• Mux/de-Muxing of the logical channels from/to different
PLICFs based on the Service Reference

Resource Control
■ Resources are released only when all the services that using the
resource do not need it
■ Example of resources are:
• dtch: dedicated traffic channel
• dmch: dedicated MAC channel
• etc...

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.
