Mastering 1x Networks and Signaling *RETIRED*

The idea of using a convenient wireless device for fast, anytime, anywhere access to the Internet is quite appealing. CDMA2000 (1x) is the 3rd generation solution for IS-95-based networks. This course covers the network architecture, CDMA protocol layers, call processing state machines, registration, call setup procedures and handoff scenarios. It takes an in-depth look at packet data services, and describes the radio interface and how 1x call processing is enhanced to support these features. The “always connected” paradigm and call processing enhancements to support bandwidth on demand are explained. Paging and access channel enhancements are clearly identified in this course. 1x enhancements related to mobility and power control are also discussed. This course has several walkthroughs that bring together key concepts, and uses actual drive test mobile logs to reinforce the 1x call processing concepts.

Learning Objectives

After completing this course, the student will be able to:
• Identify the components of a CDMA2000 (1x) network
• Define various identities of the mobile and network components in 1x call processing
• Describe the importance of various states of the 1x call processing state machine
• Identify the 1x radio enhancements for support of new services such as packet data and multimedia services
• Step through the life of a 1x mobile – from system selection and registration to call setup and handoffs
• Recognize how to achieve a particular data rate and how to change the data rates dynamically during a packet data session
• Identify the importance of Mobile IP in 1x networks and step through the Mobile IP call setup
• Sketch the connectivity of 1x network components and their importance in setting up voice and data calls
