IS-2000 Air Interface Forward Link Base Station Pilot (F-PICH) Mobile Station Paging (F-PCH) Sync (F-SYNC) Fundamental (F-FCH) Supplemental (F-SCH) Quick Paging Channel (F-QPCH)

Forward Link Channels Forward Pilot Channel (F-PICH) Shared by the mobiles Provide timing and phase information of the cell Used for cell acquisition and handoff by the mobile Forward Sync Channel (F-SYNC) Used by the mobiles to acquire initial time synchronization Forward Paging Channel (F-PCH) Used to send control information and paging messages Forward Fundamental Channel (F-FCH) Traffic channel carrying voice and data Forward Supplemental Channel (F-SCH) Used (but not limited) to carrying high speed data

IS-2000 Air Interface Reverse Link Mobile Station Base Station Pilot (R-PICH) Access (R-ACH) or R-CCCH Dedicated Control (R-DCCH) Fundamental (R-FCH) Supplemental (R-SCH)

Reverse Link Channels Reverse Access Channel (R-ACH) and Reverse Common Control Channel (R-CCCH) Used for communication of layer 3 and MAC messages from the mobile to the base station Reverse Pilot Channel (R-PICH) Time tracking Power control measurements Reverse Dedicated Control Channel (R-DCCH) Used for call set up Reverse Fundamental Channel (R-FCH) Voice and data traffic channel Reverse Supplemental Channel (R-SCH) Used for data calls MSM5105 supports up to 78.6 kbps R-SCH rate

CDMA Band Classes Band Class 0 (Cellular Band) Band Class 1 (PCS Band) Mobile Tx: 824 MHz – 848.97 MHz Mobile Rx: 869.04MHz – 893.97 MHz Band Class 1 (PCS Band) 1850 MHz – 1909.95 MHz 1930 MHz – 1989.95 MHz

End Use of Traffic Channel Receives Page Originates, or Registers System Access State MS Control on Traffic Channel State Directed to Traffic Channel

CDMA Handoffs The process whereby a Mobile Station moves to acquiring a new traffic channel CDMA implements various types of handoff schemes to reduce call drop rate Soft Handoff Softer Handoff Soft-softer Handoff Hard handoff

Type of CDMA Handoffs Softer Handoff: Mobile Station communicates with sectors within the cell. Soft Handoff: “Make before Break”. Mobile communicates with two cells. Soft-softer Handoff: Mobile Station communicates with two sectors within a cell and another sector or cell.

Soft Handoff Advantage Reduce call drop rate – “Make before Break” Improve capacity Path diversity allows mobile to reduce transmit power to the level only the closest cell needs Less power means less interference Less interference means more mobiles can access the network

Power Control Reverse Link Power Control Forward Link Power Control BTS instructs Mobile Station to raise or reduce power level based on received signal quality Forward Link Power Control BTS raise or reduce its transmit power level based on FER reports from Mobile Stations

Reverse Link Open Loop Power Control Mobile station adjusts its transmit power level based on received signal quality. Mobile transmit power based on Open Loop Power Control Tx = -Rx-K+(NOM.PWR-16*NOM.PWR.EXT)+Sum of Access Probe Corrections (dBm) Rx: Mean input receive power NOM.PWR: nominal power (dB), part of system parameter NOM.PWR.EXT: nominal power for extended handoff, part of system parameter K: 76 for cellular and 73 for PCS

Reverse Link Closed Loop Power Control Closed loop power control attempts to compensate for multipath fading losses BTS instructs Mobile to adjust its transmit power in a 1dB step size: “0” = -1 dB, “1”=+1dB Response time: 1.25ms

Forward Link Power Control BTS collect FER report from the Mobile Station and makes decision on adjusting its transmit power Prevents excessive interference to other cells while maintaining a desired Fram Error Rate

Power Control Advantage Reduce uneccessary interference resulting in improving capacity Extend battary talk time Less power = less RF polution
