1x and 1xEV-DO Fundamentals

CDMA2000 (also known as 1x) has been widely deployed, providing both voice and packet data services in a mobile environment. Many operators have also added 1x Evolution for Data Optimized (1xEV-DO) to their networks, to efficiently support higher data rates of up to 3 Mbps. This course provides an overview of the key concepts, architectures and operations that enable these wireless technologies, explaining how high quality voice and high speed data are delivered. The course begins by reviewing the fundamental concepts of Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA), and then moves into a discussion of how CDMA technology is used to implement the channels in a CDMA2000 network. The course then looks at 1xEV-DO, highlighting the key similarities and differences with CDMA2000, and demonstrating how data rates can be increased by an order of magnitude or more.

Learning Objectives

After completing this course, the student will be able to:
• Sketch the 1x and 1xEV-DO network architectures
• Explain the basic principles of CDMA technology
• Illustrate the steps involved in setting up voice and data calls in a 1x network
• Describe the process of soft handoff and power control in 1x
• Discuss the concepts of 1xEV-DO sessions and connections
• Understand the operation of the 1xEV-DO forward and reverse links
• Walk through 1xEV-DO sector switching and Mobile IP
