Benefits of cdma2000 1X
The new software in the BSs and BSCs to enable cdma2000 provide a number
of key benefits.
Physical Layer
The cdma2000 physical layer retains backwards compatibility not only to
leverage IS-95 equipment development but to also provide a smooth upgrade
path for cellular operators. In this way, cdma2000 systems could be gradually
phased into existing IS-95 networks without disrupting service. As a result, many
mechanisms such as reverse link power control and soft handoff remain
essentially the same from the physical layer standpoint.
The cdma2000 physical layer classifies different modes of operation into radio
configurations (RC's) for both the forward and reverse links. For instance, Radio
Configurations 1 and 2 (RC1 and RC2) are the Rate Set 1 and Rate Set 2 modes
of operation respectively in IS-95. However, radio configurations greater than 2
define new modes of operation in cdma2000.
Several new channels exist for cdma2000 1X in order to support the new modes
of operation.
Common Channels
F-CCCH - Forward Common Control Channel and
F-BCCH – Forward Broadcast Control Channel
The forward common control channel (FCCCH) and forward broadcast control
channel (FBCCH) may be used for carrying common signaling much like the
paging channel. These channels may be used specifically for cdma2000 mobiles,
thus relieving some of the overhead on the paging channel.
F-CAPICH – Forward Common Auxiliary Pilot Channel
The forward common auxiliary pilot channel (F-CAPICH) is used to assist in spot
coverage and transmit diversity applications. The Walsh code assignment for an
auxiliary pilot can be of length 128, 256, or 512.
F-QPCH – Forward Quick Paging Channel
The forward quick paging channel (FQPCH) is an on-off keyed (OOK) indicator to
the mobile to wake up for a message on the paging channel. This is useful for
conserving battery life in the mobile when it is idling.
F-CPCH – Forward Common Power Control Channel
For new access modes on the reverse link, a forward common power control
channel (FCPCH) exists in which users’ power control bits may be slotted in time.
Dedicated Channels
R-PICH – Reverse Pilot Channel
The RPICH was introduced to provide coherent reverse link detection and fast
forward link power control.
R-FCH – Reverse Fundamental Channel and
R-SCH – Reverse Supplemental Channel and
R-DCCH – Reverse Dedicated Common Control Channel
Except for the RPICH, the types of data associated with each channel are
identical to their forward link counterparts.
Um Interface – The connection between the BTS and the mobile (the Air Interface)
A Interface – The connection between the BSC and the MSC
Ater Interface – The connection between BSCs to support soft/softer hand-off processes
Aquinter Interface – The connection between the PCF and the BSC
Aquater Interface – The connection between the PDSN and the PCF
The event pictured below describes a basic mobile station origination in the
system. Though only the basic process is pictured here, an origination may
incorporate additional procedures, such as an Access Probe Handoff, Access
Handoff and/or Channel Assignment into Soft/Softer handoff.
This example shows the system signaling for a voice call termination.
This example shows a data call termination as the result of a power down
operation by the mobile.
This example shows the signaling for the addition of a PN during soft (or softer)
handoff.
This example shows the signaling for a successful hard handoff event.
