Mastering 1xEV-DO Radio Networks (Rev B)

1x EVolution for Data Optimized (1xEV-DO) technology allows CDMA operators to provide higher data rates and more capacity in their CDMA2000 (1x) networks. As the industry contemplates the next generation of mobile wireless technology, a new revision of 1xEV-DO, Revision B, offers an intermediate step to even higher data rates (up to 78 Mbps), while still maintaining backwards compatibility with previous releases. This course provides an understanding of the capabilities provided in Rev B networks to deliver these higher data rates. The roles of enhanced protocols, the new link structure, as well as the channels and their operations in a Rev B network are discussed at great length. Deployment strategies for introducing Rev B into existing networks are discussed. The course concludes with a discussion of scenarios for establishing and maintaining sessions and connections across various handoff situations.

Learning Objectives

After completing this course, the student will be able to:
• Identify the motivations and goals of 1xEV-DO (Rev B) networks
• Explain the concepts of Multi-Channel Multiplexing (MCM)
• List the changes to the forward and reverse channels
• Describe the enhanced operations of the forward and reverse links
• Discuss the impact to system operations, including session configuration, mobility and packet delivery
• Explain how Rev B networks may be deployed in the field and how support for Rev 0 and Rev A devices is maintained

Intended Audience

This in-depth course is primarily intended for a technical audience, including those in product management, product design and development, system design, system test, system engineering, network engineering, product support, and operations. This course requires an understanding of 1xEV-DO (Rev A).
