8.1.12 Flowcharts
In the CDMA2000 1X and CDMA2000 1xEV-DO networks, BSs/ANs connect with PCFs through A8/A9 interface. As for PCFs, A8/A9 interface is the same in the CDMA2000 1X and CDMA2000 1xEV-DO networks. Thus, measurement items are described hereinafter regardless of any difference between the CDMA2000 1X network and the CDMA2000 1xEV-DO network.
