About This Document

Welcome to This Document


Demand for Wireless communication systems is exploding! Cellular service providers are signing up new subscribers at an ever-increasing rate, exceeding the most optimistic forecasts for demand of only a few years ago. In the United States alone, cellular users will have grown from 5.3 million in 1990 to an estimated 29 million subscribers by the year 2000.1 Cellular providers must squeeze more and more capacity from the limited frequency spectrum allocations set forth by national communications regulatory agencies. Using analog Advanced Mobile Phone Service (AMPS) technology results in continued cell splitting and increasing complexity of frequency interference management to accommodate additional capacity. For many cellular service providers, this tradeoff has reached its limit, and they are unable to add more cells for system capacity. Cellular providers are not alone in needing to address capacity concerns. Additional spectrum capacity is being made available for new Personal Communications Services (PCS) in the 2 GHz radio spectrum. PCS will require advanced digital technology to integrate Intelligent Network Services with wireless systems. In both Cellular and PCS markets, data applications are becoming increasingly important, further straining system capacity. In many nations, service providers are turning to Wireless Subscriber Systems as the best way to provide

basic local telephone service. All of these new services will need to implement the most efcient technology available today, so that they may gain the maximum return on their investment, and not be limited by capacity. Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) is the air interface standard that changes the paradigm for providing wireless communications. Rather than divide calls into frequency or time slots, CDMA utilizes a revolutionary approach known as direct sequence spread spectrum. Information, which can be voice or data, is encoded in packets which are spread over a wide frequency spectrum. This packetized approach allows much more information to be transmitted per unit of bandwidth than with any other technology. The encoded information also provides a greater level of security than other air interface standards. CDMAs spread spectrum technology also provides signicant quality improvements. Using advanced encoding algorithms. CDMA can provide call quality comparable to toll quality standards. CDMA also reduces noise and muting caused by other systems by using a unique soft handoff capability. This is especially important to providers of packet data networks. Lucent Technologies, as a leading provider of superior telecommunications equipment, is at the forefront of implementing CDMA technology in both the United States and the global cellular market. The CDMA Product Overview takes you on an introductory tour of Lucent Technologies CDMA technology. This document describes the attributes and advantages of CDMA, discusses CDMA components and functions, and shows you how to implement CDMA with Lucent Technologies AUTOPLEX System 1000.

What is CDMA?

Common Access Techniques


Wireless communications systems use several different common access techniques. The principle common access techniques include the following:
s s s s

Frequency Division Multiple Access (FDMA) Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA)

FDMA uses narrowband channels of spectrum, each carrying one telephone circuit, in a system where any mobile can access any one of the frequencies. Existing analog cellular systems use FDMA. TDMA divides each carrier frequency into a number of time slots, each of which constitutes an independent telephone circuit. The Telecommunications Industries Association (TIA) endorsed TDMA in 1990, and some North American digital cellular systems use TDMA. GSM is similar to TDMA in that it divides each carrier frequency into a number of time slots; however, GSM has wider carrier frequencies and more time slots than TDMA. GSM is used widely in Europe as its primary standard for wireless communications systems.

CDMA uses a very wide frequency spectrum, but rather than using time or frequency to divide calls, CDMA lls the entire spectrum with coded packets. Unique codes allow the receiving terminal to receive only packets intended for it. Once the packets arrive at the receiving terminal, they are reassembled into their original voice or data form. This technique provides far greater capacity than FDMA, TDMA, or GSM.

Code Division Multiple Access


CDMA technology is the next generation of digital wireless technology. CDMA increases the capacity of current analog cellular networks by as much as tenfold. It also provides new revenue-producing user applications, and greatly improves the quality of service. CDMA is based on the principle that each subscriber is assigned a unique code that is used by the system to distinguish that user from all other users transmitting simultaneously over the same frequency band. CDMA uses the direct sequence spread-spectrum and packet switching as its communications architecture. Radio channel capacity is 1.25 Megahertz (MHz) per CDMA carrier, as opposed to 30 kilohertz (kHz) for analog Advanced Mobile Phone Service (AMPS) systems and TDMA digital AMPS, and 200 kHz for GSM.

CDMA An Analogy
It is helpful to use an analogy to explain CDMA technology. Four speakers are simultaneously giving a presentation, and they each speak a different native language: Spanish, Korean, English, and Chinese. You are in the audience, and English is your native language. You only understand the words of the English speaker and tune out the Spanish, Korean, and Chinese speakers. You hear only what you know and recognize.

A CDMA Analogy The same is true for CDMA. Multiple users share the same frequency band at the same time, yet each user only hears his or her own conversation. Each conversation is specially encoded and decoded for each particular user.

Calls Processed by Digital Codes


When you make a mobile phone call using CDMA technology, the sound of your voice is converted into digital code. This digital signal is rst correlated with a noise-like code known as Pseudo-Noise (PN) code. The correlator yields an encrypted digital representation of the original signal. This encrypted signal is then modulated, and spread over a very wide frequency spectrum (1.25 MHz). At the receiving terminal, the signal is demodulated back to a narrow bandwidth, and then fed into a decorrelator. This decorrelator uses its unique PN code to extract only the information intended for it. A signal correlated with a given PN code and decorrelated with the same PN code returns the original signal. Decorrelating the signal with the wrong PN code would result in pure noise, containing no discernible information or sound. The randomness of the mix of signals contained in the CDMA wideband channel is preserved. Only the correct PN key will extract the correct set of data packets, which when reassembled yield a precise reconstruction of the one original transmission. .

Radio Frequency Spectrum


Spectrum is a range of frequencies available for radio transmission and reception. In the United States, the FCC sets aside portions of the spectrum for cellular service. CDMA uses a 1.25 MHz-wide block of Radio Frequency (RF) spectrum for each radio channel. Each CDMA radio channel can support approximately 60 simultaneous 8 Kilobits (Kbps) vocoder conversations in a three-sector cell, or 48 voice conversations per 1 MHz of RF. This is a signicant improvement over AMPS, which supports 4.56 voice calls per MHz, and GSM, which supports 10 calls per MHz. Another improvement of CDMA over the other common access techniques is in the frequency reuse factor. The frequency reuse factor represents the number of cells separating two cells that are transmitting/receiving over the same frequency. For AMPS, TDMA, and GSM, the frequency reuse factor is typically 7 cells. For CDMA, however, every cell in every sector can use the same frequency, which means the reuse factor for CDMA is 1 cell. This type of spectrum reuse offers a dramatic improvement in capacity over the other common access techniques. In addition to the increased capacity, the CDMA reuse factor of 1 greatly simplies the frequency planning, which can be a signicant expense with other systems. Costs for sites, facilities and hardware are also reduced because the number of cell sites required for CDMA is often 50% less than the other systems.

Spread-Spectrum Technology
Spread-spectrum transmission is a way of organizing the distribution of radio frequency energy over a range of frequencies. A narrow band of radio energy containing the information from one conversation or data transmission is modulated over a much wider segment of the radio spectrum. The rst experiments with coded spread-spectrum techniques date back to the United States in the 1920s when engineers developed ways of encrypting sensitive military information.

Direct Sequence Spread-Spectrum


The Lucent Technologies AUTOPLEX System 1000 CDMA offering is based on the concept of Direct Sequence (DS) spread-spectrum. DS refers to information that is coded, and then multiplexed with many other information streams.What makes DS spread-spectrum so remarkable is that a Phase Shift Keying (PSK) carrier supports many voice channels simultaneously. All of the voices, all of the conversations, and all data transmissions are transmitted over one carrier. The

What is CDMA?

encoded bits of voice and data are identied by the PN code unique to the mobile terminal. A given conversation can only be extracted from the stream of packets containing all of the other conversations (or white noise) by using the PN code unique to that conversation.

Applications for the Cellular Market


CDMA has wide applications for the cellular market1. CDMA provides
s

An easy and economical transition to digital cellular from existing AUTOPLEX System 1000 technology. Greater coverage with fewer cells. This makes CDMA ideal for in-building transmissions, such as ofce complexes and airport, and building new networks. Enhanced voice and data services quality due to greater resistance to propagation fading, through soft handoffs, and the use of the 13 Kbps vocoder and the 14.4 Kbps data channels. A robust suite of features and functions that gives the ability to effectively compete and/or partner with PCS providers both locally and nationally. A powerful technology platform for Personal Communications Services (PCS). In the future, CDMA will interact with the Lucent Technologies Intelligent Network to deliver advanced user features. An interface with Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) platforms in the future for high-speed packet switching. This enables your system to have soft handoffs between the MSCs in your system. In the future, this could enable your system to carry video, interactive multimedia, and electronic mail trafc.

CDMA Benets

Benets of the Lucent Technologies Digital Cellular Experience


The key to success in wireless networks is the ability to expand capacity and maintain quality, while lowering the cost per radio channel. Already a major player in the digital cellular market, Lucent Technologies has been involved in TDMA technology since the 1990 eld trials in Chicago, and understands the capacity benets and the need for superior voice quality that digital communications provides. Lucent Technologies has a proven Linear Amplier technology product, and has also been involved in bringing digital cellular technology to the international market with our Lucent Technologies GSM System product lines. Lucent Technologies also brings valuable knowledge to digital cellular services. We have already successfully integrated digital technology with our existing AMPS technology. Lucent Technologies has experienced and knowledgeable engineers and technicians who are trained and ready to help you make a smooth transition from analog to digital services.

Traditional Cell Growth


A cell is dened as a geographical region where calls are served by a cell site that contains the radio and control equipment necessary for processing and completing the voice paths of mobile subscribers within that region.

Additional Cellular Growth

With the traditional method of growing and splitting cells, you could encounter problems and limitations as you try to grow your system. For example:
s

It is very costly to split cells and add new equipment. New site acquisition could be difcult, and real estate costs could be high in congested areas. Interference is difcult to manage when the radius of a cell is less than one mile. The more cells that are added, or the more cell splitting that occurs, the more difcult it is to manage channel interference. With analog and TDMA systems you have to restructure frequency plans every time you add or split a cell. This is not necessary with CDMA. It is difcult to place cell sites where they would best relieve trafc. Possible environmental and zoning restrictions may impact the placement of your cell site equipment. The more cells are split or grown, the more frequent handoffs become. This greatly increases the load on a system. See Chapter 7, Lucent Technologies CDMA Call Processing, for an explanation of handoffs.

CDMA DS-spread spectrum technology allows you to reuse the same block of radio frequency spectrum in every cell. Additional cells may be needed through cell splitting; however, the need for cell splitting will be far less than an AMPS system. In addition, Radio Frequency (RF) planning is greatly simplied with a CDMA system because of the reuse factor of 1.

Benets of CDMA to End User Customers


Lucent Technologies CDMA technology provides the following benets1 to end user customers:
s

Improved privacyCDMA provides built-in privacy on every call through the use of PN codes. Excellent voice qualityVoice quality and clarity improve when speech is converted into digital signals by a vocoder. A recent study2 showed that voice quality using a 13 Kbps vocoder was considered comparable to landline quality by test subjects. See Chapter 8, Lucent Technologies 5ESS2000 Digital Cellular Switch (DCS), for more information about vocoder technology. Soft handoffs improve call qualitySoft handoffs mean that there is no degradation in call quality when moving from one cell site to another because a call can be live on up to 3 cells. Soft handoffs also make seamless data transmission possible. Longer battery life for mobile phone unitsDigital mobile units require signicantly less RF power, so the battery life of the mobile unit is greatly increased. For example, a CDMA mobile unit can be used for 4-5 hours in talk mode3 compared to the 1-1.5 hours for an analog mobile unit. Packetized structure easily supports simultaneous voice and dataPacket switching allows the interleaving of voice and data signals. Encoded information can be segmented into information packets that can be stored or transmitted piecemeal over the network to best use the total available bandwidth. Increased system capacityThe 10-to-1 increase in system capacity means there will be faster and easier access to the cellular network with fewer dropped or blocked calls.

CDMA Benets

Benets of CDMA to Service Providers


Lucent Technologies CDMA technology provides the following benets4 to service providers:
s

Increased system capacityCDMA technology greatly increases the capacity of your system. This is done by assigning unique, secure codes to each cellular transmission, allowing numerous phone calls to be simultaneously transmitted on one radio frequency.
See Appendix A, CDMA System Capacity and Specications, for a table that compares the capacity of CDMA to AMPS, TDMA, and GSM.

Simplied frequency reuseThe N=1 frequency reuse pattern reduces the need for frequency engineering while growing or modifying your network. Broader coverage CDMA has a better processing gain than time division-based systems such as TDMA and GSM, which enables CDMA systems to have larger cell radii. Therefore, CDMA systems require fewer minicells than an equivalent time-division based systems (e.g. under similar design assumptions). Improved interference immunityCDMA is not adversely affected by multipath reections of Radio Frequency (RF) signals. Lower RF power requirements (at the cell site)CDMA requires lower RF power to transmit the same distances as AMPS and TDMA, which translates to longer terminal battery life. Soft handoffsSoft handoff is an exclusive feature of CDMA. This feature permits a call to be live on more than one sector (or cell) at the same time while traveling through handoff zones. Soft handoffs improve call quality and data transmission. See Chapter 7, Lucent Technologies CDMA Call Processing, for more information about soft handoffs. Variable rate/multi-mode speech codingVariable rate speech coding allows voice to be coded at a higher rate when speech is present and at lower rates when a party is listening or pausing in conversation. Multi-mode speech coding provides the additional exibility of setting the average speech coding rate. These types of coding minimize power and increase capacity. They also enable efcient mixing of voice and data. Packetized communications structurePackets are well-suited to data transmission and services. By moving speech processing to the Mobile Switching Center (MSC) and implementing packet pipes, facility costs are lowered because more calls can be handled over packet pipes than standard trunks.

Reduced costsThe spectrum efciencies associated with CDMA reduce the total life cycle cost of your system. Fewer cells are required to cover geographical areas. Investment protectionYour investment in existing hardware and software is protected because CDMA integrates with your current AUTOPLEX System 1000. The skill set of OA&M technicians is protected and extended with the minimal additional training required for CDMA technology. Powerful technology platform for PCSCDMA provides a powerful platform onto which PCS can be added for revenue expansion within a service providers area. Flexible Cell Site OfferingsA variety of cell site offerings provide you with low-cost hardware entries into wireless telecommunications equipment, such as the CDMA Minicell. See Chapter 4, Lucent Technologies CDMA Products, for more information on the available cell site offerings. CompatibilityCDMA allows for interoperability between 850 MHz and 1.9 GHz markets. 5ESS-2000 Switch DCSThe 5ESS-2000 Switch DCS provides switching capabilities for both landline and cellular network systems simultaneously. In addition, the international version of the 5ESS-2000 Switch DCS performs as the switching platform for international CDMA networks at 850 MHz and 1.9 GHz.

Lucent Technologies AUTOPLEX System 1000 CDMA Overview

Description of the Lucent Technologies CDMA Product Offering


The Lucent Technologies AUTOPLEX System 1000 CDMA system is built on the current AUTOPLEX System 1000 platform, consisting of the Series II cell site product line, the 5ESS-2000 Switch Digital Cellular Switch (DCS), and the Executive Cellular Processor Complex (ECPC). This design was chosen to maximize performance and protect your investment in your current cellular equipment. In addition, the design will interwork with existing AUTOPLEX Cellular Digital Packet Data (CDPD) systems. Lucent Technologies rst commercial AUTOPLEX cellular telephone system was introduced in 1983. A single AUTOPLEX System consists of a digital switch that routes calls from one user to another, and a network control module (ECPC) that oversees the comings and goings of all calls within an area. Each ECPC can handle up to 500,000 subscribers1. Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) is a digital cellular air interface and networking standard based on the principle of spread-spectrum techniques, which allow multiple users to access the system simultaneously on the same carrier frequency.

System performance will vary, subject to specied calling patterns and system congurations. This gure represents the upper limit of the combined capacity of the Home Location Register and Visitor Location Register.

Series II Cell Site Product Family


CDMA is available on the AUTOPLEX Series II cell site platform, as well as the Cellular CDMA Minicell. The cell site is the system component that provides the basic interface between the cellular system Mobile Switching Center (MSC) and an end users mobile phone unit. See Chapter 4, Lucent Technologies CDMA Products, for more information on Lucent Technologies cell site hardware.

ECPC
The Executive Cellular Processor Complex (ECPC) is the system component responsible for mobility management, call processing, system maintenance, system integrity, Home Location Register (HLR), and Visitor Location Register (VLR) information. The MSC performs the call processing functions for the system. It also is responsible for feature controls, system management functions, and networking and transmission interfaces. See Chapter 9, Lucent Technologies Executive Cellular Processor Complex, for more information about the Lucent Technologies ECPC switch product.

DCS
The 5ESS-2000 Switch Digital Cellular Switch (DCS) is a high capacity digital switch that provides switching functionality and voice connectivity to the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN). The 5ESS-2000 DCS has components for administering and maintaining your CDMA system, and provides network management and trafc measurement data. See Chapter 8, Lucent Technologies 5ESS2000 Digital Cellular Switch (DCS), for more information on the DCS and its components and functionality.

How CDMA Works


In the AUTOPLEX System 1000 CDMA cellular system, digital voice frames from mobile phones are frame relayed to the MSC for speech processing. Frame relay is a method of packet switching capable of transporting voice and data and is used to transport speech between the radio unit at the cell site and the speech handler in the 5ESS-2000 Switch DCS.

Lucent Technologies - Proprietary See notice on rst page (This information is subject to change and is not intended for contractual purposes.)

Issue 3

3-3

401-614-010

The frame relay function, which is performed by the 5ESS-2000 Switch DCS, is the front-end to the traditional 64 Kbps circuit switched domain of the 5ESS2000 Switch DCS. The speech frames from the mobile phone units are relayed between the cell sites and the MSC in a packetized voice format using a standard protocol. These speech frames to and from the cellular phone unit are encoded speech to reduce the digital rate requirements of the speech transmission on the cell site to the MSC link. These frames are sent, in encoded format, to the MSC for further processing. At the MSC, the voice frame is decoded into 64 Kbps Pulse Code Modulation (PCM) voice and then passed to the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) through the traditional 5ESS-2000 Switch circuit-switching fabric. Call set-up and call release are capable of being performed over the same DS1 signaling link that carries TDMA and analog trafc. In addition to the encoded voice information in the CDMA frames, CDMA signaling information for power control is also sent between the cell site and the cellular phone unit. At the cell site, the CDMA voice and signaling packets are transported to the MSC through a packet pipe. See Chapter 8, Lucent Technologies 5ESS 2000 Digital Cellular Switch (DCS), for more information on frame relay and packet pipes. See Chapter 7, Lucent Technologies CDMA Call Processing, for more information on how actual phone calls are processed in CDMA.

How CDMA Works with AUTOPLEX System 1000


CDMA is easily integrated with the AUTOPLEX System 1000. CDMA interfaces with the same three major components that comprise the current analog AUTOPLEX System 1000 product: the Series II cell site, the 5ESS-2000 Switch DCS, and the Executive Cellular Processor Complex (ECPC).

Modication of AUTOPLEX System 1000 Components


The 5ESS-2000 Switch DCS and the Series II cell site components require additional hardware and software for CDMA implementation, and the ECPC requires software changes. The changes to these components are discussed in detail in Chapters 4, 8, and 9. The CDMA application can coexist in an AUTOPLEX System 1000 also serving analog and/or TDMA access technologies.

Advantages of the Lucent Technologies CDMA Product


The Lucent Technologies CDMA product has many advantages:
s

The Lucent Technologies CDMA system uses the most advanced networking technologies currently available. The system uses packet switching for intersystem networking. In CDMA Release 3.0, ATM connections for intersystem networking will be added. This enables CDMA transmission and soft handoff across wide geographic areas. The system interacts with the Intelligent Network for advanced user features. Soft handoffs will be available across the entire network, making the Lucent Technologies product one of the best for voice quality and clarity.

Approximately 3.5-to-1 facilities concentration with an 8 Kbps vocoder and 2.5-to-1 facilities concentration with a 13 Kbps vocoder. The Lucent Technologies system can handle up to 84 conversations per DS-1 on an 8 Kbps vocoder and 60 conversations per DS1 on a 13 Kbps vocoder. (A DS-1 is a facility that supports the 24/30 DS0 channels on a T1/E1.) Multiple technologies can be mixed on that same DS-1, including analog, TDMA, CDMA, and CDPD.

The Lucent Technologies CDMA product easily integrates into the Series II cell site product family Thousands of Series II cell sites are already deployed throughout the world. CDMA is compatible with all of these and will t in with your existing equipment. Transmit and receive switching enables sharing of CDMA Channel Elements (CEs) across multiple cell sectors.

Packet switching platform supports future enhancements Packet switching enables the integration of voice, data, FAX, image, and video.

Transitioning Considerations
When transitioning from analog to CDMA, there are equipment upgrades to consider, as well as conguration changes, that will enable you to make full use of the available spectrum.

Upgrading Your System While Protecting Your Investment


Although CDMA builds on your existing AUTOPLEX System 1000 equipment, there are some new hardware and software requirements; however the benets from the gains in system capacity far outweigh the initial cost of equipment upgrades. There is new CDMA speech processing equipment and software required at the 5ESS-2000 switch, new software at the ECP to perform call processing functions, and new CDMA radio equipment required at the cell site. (Adding the CDMA equipment at the cell site will not affect the operation of existing analog.)

Analog to CDMA Conversion


CDMA carriers require 41 channels in the cellular band, which is equivalent to 1.23 MHz of spectrum. However, to add CDMA to an existing analog system, additional channels are needed to establish guard bands on both sides of the CDMA carrier. A guard band is 9 contiguous channels (.27 MHz of spectrum) where bandwidth has been cleared to prevent adjacent channel interference between CDMA and analog/TDMA calls. Therefore, to add one CDMA carrier to an existing analog system, you need 59 channels or 1.77 MHz of spectrum. See Figure 3-2 on page 3-6.

Comparison of Spectrum/Analog Channel Use for One CDMA Carrier Once you have guard bands established, you can add additional CDMA carriers without adding more guard bands. Therefore, additional CDMA carriers would only require 41 channels or 1.23 MHz of spectrum. See Figure 3-3 on page 3-7.

To realize such a large gain however, approximately sixty-ve percent of the trafc on your system must come from dual mode (analog/digital) mobile phone units. To maximize use of the available spectrum, you need to provide for a mix of analog and digital signals according to your system trafc requirements.

Description of AUTOPLEX System 1000 CDMA Products


The products of the AUTOPLEX System 1000 product family that support CDMA include the Series II Growth Frame, the Universal Fiber Microcell, and the Cellular CDMA Minicell and the Cellular CDMA Minicell Growth Cabinet.

Series II Cell Site and CDMA Growth Frame


The Series II cell site is the AUTOPLEX cellular system module that provides the basic interface between the Mobile Switching Center (MSC) and an end users mobile unit. The Series II cell site architecture is designed for reliability because any component failure that can bring down more than half of the CDMA capacity has optional standby hardware to replace it. This redundancy ensures that even if there is a critical component failure, calls can still be processed. The CDMA Growth Frame is designed to allow a Series II cell site to be upgraded to accommodate CDMA services (see Figure 4-1 on page 4-2). This frame uses the existing Series II Amplier and Antenna Interface Frames (AIF). The Growth Frame can support up to six shelves of equipment consisting of the CDMA Radio Circuit Pack (RCR, BIU and ACU), as well as the CDMA Channel Element boards. Up to two growth frames can be installed in a Series II cell site.

Mobile Switching Center (MSC) Overview


The Lucent Technologies Mobile Switching Center (MSC) is based on an inherently exible, modular architecture that allows you to meet a wide variety of needs and grow to meet an expansion of subscribers and trafc. The MSC is the main switching component of the cellular or wireless network. The MSC is responsible for processing calls, monitoring the movement of the mobile station, and taking the necessary action to originate and deliver calls in a mobile environment. It is composed of two major components: an Executive Cellular Processor Complex (ECPC) and a 5ESS-2000 switch. The ECPC provides system intelligence, mobility management, system conguration, and feature control. One ECPC function is that of database management, including authentication of subscribers in the Home Location Register (HLR) and the Visitor Location Register (VLR). The other component of the MSC is the high capacity, non-blocking, highest availability 5ESS-2000 digital switch, which provides the switching fabric connections to the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) as well as between cell sites. Wireless MSC concurrent capacities are

Basic Conguration of a CDMA Series II Growth Frame Cell Site Shelf

Series II Growth Radio Channel Frame


Up to two Growth Radio Channel Frames can be added to the existing Primary Radio Channel Frame (P-RCF). The traditional growth frame (G-RCF) provides a maximum capacity of 72 analog channels or 108 [36 Digital Radio Units (DRUs) x 3] TDMA channels. Analog and TDMA radios can be mixed within the same G-RCF. The new growth frame is dedicated to CDMA channel elements only. These frames, known as C-RCFs, provides a maximum of 768 CDMA channel elements. Based on current spectral limitations, the maximum usable number of Channel Elements (CEs) is approximately 288.

CDMA Cluster Controller (CCC)


A CDMA radio shelf contains one or two CDMA Cluster Controllers (CCCs). See Figure 4-2 on page 4-5.

The CCC serves two major functions


s

The interface between the RCC and (up to seven) CCUs attached to a CCC. The logical termination point for a packet pipe. A packet pipe can consist of up to 8 DS0 timeslots on a T1 link and can support up to 30 simultaneous 8 Kbps calls or 21 13 Kbps calls.

CDMA Channel Units (CCUs)


The CDMA Channel Unit (CCU) is the circuit board that contains Channel Elements (CEs). In the initial releases of CDMA, a CCU is congured with two CEs (TCUs). In 1997, a high-density CCU will be provided that is congured with 8 CEs. This CCU (HCU) can support either an 8 Kbps vocoder or a 13 Kbps vocoder. Groups of CCUs are logically connected to form a cluster, which is controlled by a single CCC. In the CDMA G-RCF, up to seven CCUs can be placed with each of the two CCCs on a shelf (see Figure 4-2 on page 4-5). In a Minicell, each shelf contains a single CCC with four CCUs.

Channel Elements (CEs)


A Channel Element (CE) contains the necessary circuitry to perform forward link (cell site to mobile) and reverse link (mobile to cell site) CDMA spread-spectrum processing. Several functions can be combined into a single CE. This combination denes a CEs personality. The CE personality is downloaded from the CCC to the CE based on a particular cells conguration. The Lucent Technologies CDMA architecture allows a minimum of CEs to be allocated and still provide all the functions needed for CDMA processing. A single CE can be loaded with the Pilot, Sync, and Access personality. A second CE is used for the Paging channel, and the rest of the CEs may be dedicated as Trafc channels. Each CE can be assigned to perform one or more of the following functions:
s

Pilot channel used by the mobiles to identify which cell they are talking to and to identify cells for handoffs. Sync channel provides initial time synchronization for mobiles. It works with the pilot channel. Paging channel The paging channel is a forward link channel that transmits control information to the mobile unit. Before a mobile receives a call, it rst receives a page from the cell site on an assigned page channel.

Lucent Technologies - Proprietary See notice on rst page (This information is subject to change and is not intended for contractual purposes.)

4-6 Issue 3

Lucent Technologies CDMA Products

Access channel The access channel is the reverse link channel by which mobiles transmit control information to the cell site. The mobile uses this channel when placing a call. Trafc (user) channel The trafc channel transmits speech and/or data from the mobile to the cell site in an uplink direction, or from the cell site to the mobile in a downlink direction. Orthogonal Channel Noise Source simulates CDMA trafc at a specied level so that actual CDMA system capacity can be measured in the eld with actual background noise and other RF radiation.

BCR/BIU/ACU (BBA Trio)


The Analog Conversion Unit (ACU) digitally combines signals from the CCUs, performs D/A (Digital to Analog) conversions, and limits signals with low-pass lters. Each ACU has six analog outputs, which represent the In-phase and Quadrature-phase (I and Q) signals to each of three cell sectors. The Baseband Combiner and Radio (BCR) combines the I and Q signals from each of the ACUs and (on the forward link) converts the signal to RF with an RF up-converter. In the reverse path, it receives RF signals and down-converts to baseband. The Bus Interface Unit (BIU) is the interface between the BCR, the ACU, and the Time Division Multiplexed (TDM) bus. It provides power conversion and alarm control functions.

Synchronized Clock and Tone (SCT) Board


The SCT provides the accurate timing needed by CDMA. The SCT provides clock and tone capabilities, CDMA board synchronization, and a 19.6608 MHz reference clock. The SCTs synchronization signals are derived from the Reference Frequency and Timing Generator (RFTG).

Reference Frequency and Timing Generator (RFTG)


The RFTG1 is used to provide the CDMA/analog radio reference frequency, as well as the CDMA synchronization signals. As specied in the IS-95 standards, the RFTG makes use of a Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver to synchronize the CDMA signals. The GPS is the United States Department of

The RFTG replaces the Radio Frequency Generator (RFG) and is feature transparent for analog systems. Lucent Technologies - Proprietary See notice on rst page (This information is subject to change and is not intended for contractual purposes.)

GPS Support by the United States Government


The United States (US) government is actively supporting use of GPS technology. There is a joint Department of DefenseDepartment of Transportation task force to oversee the management of the GPS satellite system. This system is being used increasingly by law enforcement agencies, motorists, land, sea and air transportation and shipping industries, surveyors, and surface transit systems. Currently there are about 10 times more civil applications than military applications. The US government is committed to the GPS technology and has agreed to give 10 years notice should it be unable to continue meeting this commitment.

Cellular Minicell Cabinets


The CDMA Cellular Minicell consists of two cabinets the Primary Cabinet and the Antenna Interface Frame (AIF). In addition, a power cabinet is available to provide externally supplied DC power, or DC power may be provided by the service provider. A CDMA Cellular Minicell Growth Cabinet, which will double the capacity of the Minicell, is planned for delivery at the end of 1997.

Primary Cabinet Components


The Primary Cabinet houses these key components.
s

Radio Control Complex (RCC) The RCC provides administration and control for the entire Minicell complex. This shelf is fully duplexed to provide redundancy and to support software upgrades without disrupting service. CDMA Radio Complex (CRC) The CRC consists of the CDMA radios and the CDMA Channel Units (CCU), as well as associated power, timing and facilities interface equipment. The CRC is composed of three shelves, each of which supports one CDMA cluster. A cluster consists of a CDMA Cluster Controller (CCC) and CCUs.

Lucent Technologies - Proprietary See notice on rst page

5-2 Issue 3

Cellular CDMA Minicell

A separate cluster is required for every sector or carrier. Each cluster supports a maximum of four CCUs, or a total of twelve CCUs in a three shelf conguration. The CCU provides Channel Elements (CEs) which carry voice and data trafc, as well as overhead functions such as pilot signal, synchronization and paging. The current model of the CCU, the TCU, provides two CEs per card, for a total of eight channels per cluster and a total of 24 channels per CRC. In 1997 a higher capacity version of the CCU will be available that will offer eight CEs per card, for a total of 32 CEs per cluster and a total of 96 CEs per CRC. Channel elements support both 8 Kbps and 13 Kbps vocoding. The CRC radio is composed of three circuit packs: the Bus Interface Unit (BIU), the Baseband Combiner (BCR) and the Analog Conversion Unit (ACU). The radio processes the 1.25 MHz CDMA carrier. The crossconnected conguration allows soft handoff between sectors. Other components of the CRC include: Synchronized Clock and Tone boards (SCTs) that generate the clock signals used for accurate timing required by CDMA. The SCT utilizes signals obtained from the Reference Frequency and Timing Generator (RFTG). One Digital Facilities Interface (DFI) card per CRC provides data conversion between the T1 or E1 lines and the TDM buses internal to the Minicell.
s

Transmit Power Amplier (TPA) and Amplier Alarms The CDMA TPA amplies the transmit outputs of the CRC. The outputs are connected to the transmit antenna path via the transmit lter in the AIF, or through the optional Cascade and Notch Transmit lters in the Primary Frame (when these are used). The amplier shelf in either the Primary or Growth Frame can support up to three sectors and one carrier in a sectorized conguration, or three carriers in an omni conguration. Reference Frequency Timing Generator (RFTG) The RFTG obtains clock signals from Global Positioning System (GPS) satellites. The precision of Minicell synchronization afforded by this timing assures the highest level of call quality and soft handoff between cells. Channel Services Unit (CSU) (optional) The CSU supports one T1 facility. For international markets, the cell may be congured with an E1 facility. While three slots are provided, the cell can be congured with only one CSU. A fourth slot is designated for the CSU Shelf Interface Unit (SIU). CDMA Radio Test Unit (CRTU) (optional) In conjunction with the Radio Test Unit Switch Panel (RSP) which is located in the AIF, the CRTU provides radio diagnostics by testing all channels.

CDMA Cluster Architecture The CDMA Cluster contains CDMA radio processing circuitry, channel cards and a controller which interfaces to the Time Division Multiplexing (TDM) bus in the Minicell. Figure 5-3 on page 5-8 shows the architecture of the CDMA Cluster. The CDMA Cluster Controller serves as the termination point for the packet pipe. The packet pipe is a variable bandwidth circuit on the T1/E1 link (2 to 8 DS0s) that allows optimum efciency in backhauling trafc to the ECPC via T1 or E1 facilities. This controller also assigns channels to support overhead functions (pilot, paging, synch, and access) as well as voice channels.

The ACU feeds the Baseband Combiner Radio (BCR), which in turn passes the 1.25 MHz CDMA spread spectrum signal to the RF train connecting to the RF antennas. The Lucent Technologies CDMA Cluster architecture allows you to add trafc channel capacity to the Minicell by adding CDMA Channel Unit (CCU) cards to the cell. Each CDMA cluster shelf supports up to four CCUs. CCUs are currently offered in two-channel units (TCUs). Eight-channel units (HCUs) will be available in 1997. Although two and eight channel element cards cannot coexist in the same CDMA cluster, they can be mixed in the same Minicell to provide a variety of congurations and growth options.

Lucent Technologies - Proprietary See notice on rst page

5-8 Issue 3

Cellular CDMA Minicell

All three CDMA cluster shelves in the Minicell are interconnected such that any trafc channel on any CCU may serve any of the three sector-carriers in a sectorized conguration. This is accomplished through wired connections between each BCR and ACU. This is illustrated in Figure 5-4 on page 5-9. These interconnections allow the channel capacity to be added independently from CDMA RF carriers. This allows you to perform capacity planning on a per cell basis as opposed to a per-sector basis. For example, a low trafc, 3-sector conguration requires all three BCRs, but may be equipped with only one shelf of channel cards. This reduces the overall number of circuit packs and provides a cost-effective start-up solution.

RF Train Architecture
The Cellular CDMA Minicell and AIF support three CDMA RF trains. One RF train is required for each physical sector or for each carrier. For example, Omni-1 carrier requires one RF train, Omni-2 carrier requires two RF trains and 3-sector requires three RF trains. Each RF train requires two receive paths to accommodate diversity receive, and a transmit path. The Minicell supports both duplex and simplex lter options. The simplex conguration requires three antennas per sector, while the duplex option requires only two antennas per sector. The simplex version is shown in Figure 5-5 on page 5-10 and the duplex version is shown is shown in Figure 5-6 on page 5-11.

Cellular CDMA Minicell Growth Cabinet Using the growth cabinet to add sectors requires additional CDMA Clusters and complete CDMA RF Trains. One Cluster and RF Train per sector is needed. The equipment used in the growth cabinet is identical to the equipment used in the primary cabinet. For the 3-sector congurations (1 or 2 carrier), all receive paths come into the AIF cabinet. These receive signals are then fed to the primary cabinets. For the second carrier, the CDMA Radio Complex (CRC) and the CDMA Transmit Power Ampliers (TPAs) physically reside in the 3-sector, second carrier growth cabinet. The transmit path for the second carrier is routed from the AIF cabinet to the growth cabinet.

Dialed Digits in AMA


This feature provides the digit string that the cellular subscriber dials when accessing the AUTOPLEX System 1000. With this feature, the exact digits that the subscriber dials, including international codes, carrier access codes and any function dialing codes, are placed in the AMA record for the call.

Immediate Billing Security Records


This feature generates billing records for the service provider when a mobile attempts calls at a multiple systems networked system.

Last Cell Information in AMA


This feature provides the last cell site and radio number used on a call in the AMA record for that call.

Partial Station Class Mark in AMA


This feature provides portions of the Station Class Mark (SCM) in the AMA record written for a call. AMA records can then be analyzed for the desired usage information.

Selectable Billing Records


This feature allows service providers several options for the suppression of AMA records. The service provider may select any one of the following four choices through the RC/V interface to suppress the creation of an AMA record:
s s s s

Unanswered calls Termination calls Calls under minimum duration time Handoff and handback records.

Lucent Technologies CDMA System Features

Subscriber Features
The following section describes the subscriber features.

Allowable Called Number Table


This feature checks the call directory number against a screening list to determine if the call is to a given service. This allows the subscriber to set up an allowable table of calling numbers, which would benet businesses that have a eet of mobiles and want to control costs by restricting employee phone calls. In addition, at the request of a subscriber, the service provider may restrict calls to certain numbers that may be undesirable or more expensive than other calls to complete. A restriction announcement is given if the subscriber attempts to place a call to a directory number that is restricted.

Automatic Call Trace


This feature gives the service provider the ability to trace calls for a mobile Directory Number (DN). The mobile DN can have all incoming and/or outgoing calls traced using its subscriber record for a home subscriber or visiting location register record for a visiting subscriber.

Call Forwarding Backoff to Message Recording Service (MRS)


This feature supports a subscriber who has the MRS feature. This feature allows an unanswered call, immediate or conditionally forwarded, to be routed via the MRS feature to the subscriber's Voice Mail Storage System (VMSS).

Calling Number Identication Presentation (CNIP) and Calling Number Identication and Calling Number Restriction (CNIR)
The CNIP feature enables subscribers to view the calling party's telephone number on a mobile station display when the phone alerts. Each subscriber will be able to screen calls to control cost and personal efciency. Subscribers will also have access to Caller ID on Call Waiting calls as well as normal terminations. The CNIR feature allows service providers to prevent the display of a given mobile subscriber's CPN at the called party's phone on all calls by making the appropriate entry in the subscriber's database.

Lucent Technologies - Proprietary See notice on rst page (This information is subject to change and is not intended for contractual purposes.)

401-614-010

Mobiles used for CDMA support both a CDMA digital and analog mode and are based on IS-95A mobiles operating in an analog or CDMA digital mode. CNIP will also be fully feature-transparent from the subscriber's perspective whether the mobile is in a CDMA digital or analog mode of operation.

Calling Party Number Acceptance /Delivery


This feature allows the Mobile Switching Center (MSC) to convey Calling Party Number (CPN) information with outgoing calls routed by the MSC and to accept CPN information received with incoming calls to the MSC.

Cancel Call Waiting


With this feature, subscribers can eliminate call waiting interruptions during their current calls. When the subscriber completes a call, the call waiting feature will reactivate. The Cancel Call Waiting feature is designed to allow subscribers to use the *XY.

Over the Air Activation/Provisioning


This feature allows the activation of services and modications in real-time over the air. This feature allows a cellular subscriber to become authorized for new cellular service without the intervention of a third party. The feature consists of the following two parts: authorization by the desired service provider for service and downloading data to the mobile unit.

Credit Card Dialing


This feature allows a customer to originate a call using a credit card. The credit card is read from a mobile equipped with a credit card reader. This feature allows 32 digits to be sent by the mobile unit. The credit card number is combined with the dialed digits. THe mobile takes the credit card number and the called number, per mobile instructions, and transmits the combined numbers to the MSC.

Lucent Technologies - Proprietary See notice on rst page (This information is subject to change and is not intended for contractual purposes.)

Lucent Technologies CDMA System Features

CDMA Custom Calling Package


This feature includes the following capabilities.

Call Forwarding
This feature permits a called subscriber to send incoming calls addressed to the subscriber's directory number to another directory number or to the subscriber's voice mail box. Call Forwarding is available on Busy and No Answer.

Call Waiting
This feature allows a subscriber to answer an incoming call while currently in a stable, two-party talk state. If the subscriber ashes to answer the incoming call, the currently connected party is put on hold, and the incoming caller is connected to the cellular subscriber. Each subsequent ash from the subscriber will place the connected party on hold and connect the held party to the subscriber.

Three-Way Calling
This feature allows a subscriber to add a third party to an existing two-party call. If either of the two non-controlling parties to an established three-way call disconnects, the remaining party is reconnected to the controlling subscriber as a normal two-party call. If the controlling subscriber of a three-way call disconnects, the conference circuit and all other parties are released.

Distinctive Ringing Standalone HLR


This feature applies a ringing pattern based on whether a calling party number matches distinctive ringing lists. The distinctive ringing calling number list should be maintainable either via a customer representative or the subscriber via an interactive session.

Limited Service Area


This feature allows the service provider to charge the cellular subscriber a reduced rate for calls placed within a dened subscriber Limited Service Area (LSA) similarly to the way local and toll calls within the same area code are charged in a land-line network. This feature is provided on a per-directory number basis and is applicable to both originating and terminating calls.

Lucent Technologies - Proprietary See notice on rst page (This information is subject to change and is not intended for contractual purposes.)

Issue 3

6-7

401-614-010

Extended Limited Service Area


This feature increases the limited serving area up to 128 cells.

Limited Service Area - Inter-MSC/DCS


This feature allows the service provider to dene Limited Service Area (LSA) boundaries across DCSs and MSCs. This enables the service provider to charge a standard service rate for a mobile operating in its standard service area and a higher rate in a premium service area. This feature allows Automatic Message Accounting (AMA) records to be updated based on the fact that the mobile may exit and/or enter an LSA numerous times.

Limited Call Transfer


This feature allows a subscriber to transfer a stable call to a third party. The original call may be incoming or outgoing. The mobile subscriber then follows the three-way calling scenario to place an outgoing call to a third party.

Local Directory Number (LDN)


This feature allows the service provider to give roamers local presence to the AUTOPLEX System 1000. This LDN assignment feature gives Roamer II service to a roamer by assigning an LDN to the roamer in the host system. The roamer may be reached via 1-stage dialing to the LDN. If an LDN is not assigned, Roamer I 2-stage call termination is used to call roaming subscribers by completing the call through a remote access number. This feature offers end-users convenience in that it reduces the number of digits required to reach a customer and may also improve call completion speed.

Malicious Call Trace


This feature allows service providers who work with law enforcement agencies the ability to request Malicious Call Trace (MCT) information at any time within the duration of an incoming call.

Lucent Technologies - Proprietary See notice on rst page (This information is subject to change and is not intended for contractual purposes.)

Lucent Technologies CDMA System Features

Message Recording Service


This feature allows a subscriber to have calls conditionally forwarded to a voice mail storage system (VMSS) where the calling party can leave messages for the subscriber. Subscribers will be able to access the system from anywhere, at anytime, to retrieve messages and can avoid missing calls when busy on another call or unavailable.

Message Recording Service Equal Access Interface


This feature allows service providers to use the message recording service feature even when the interface between the Voice Mail Storage System (VMSS) and the digital cellular switch uses equal access signaling.

Message Retrieval Code


This feature allows mobile subscribers to access a Voice Mail System by dialing a cellular feature code from their mobile phones. This feature allows service providers to offer subscribers the option of accessing their VMSS by dialing a cellular feature code instead of dialing their own Directory Number.

Message Waiting Indicator (MWI)


This feature enhances the current Voice Mail Notication feature by indicating the presence of voice messages without requiring the subscriber to establish a voice connection. MWI noties subscribers when a voice message is available for retrieval. This may be delivered through tone, illuminated indicator or alphanumeric message. MWI will increase usage as the subscriber retrieves messages from voice mail and may return calls from the mobile unit.

Pound (#) Send


This feature allows a single pound digit (#) to be a valid destination. The dialed # digit is routed to a peripheral device connected via a trunk.

Project Accounting Service


This feature allows a mobile subscriber to tag an originating or terminating call with an account number which appears on the mobile subscriber's bill. This feature is offered on a per-directory number basis. This feature is a convenience to mobile subscribers for cost allocation of billed services. Assigning an account number to calls allows subscribers to separate personal calls from business calls or to keep track of calls per job or project.

Project Accounting Service Authorization (PASA)


This feature prevents users from making unauthorized calls on a cellular unit by requiring an authorization number to be entered during an origination request. The exception to this is unrestricted N11 or tone/announcement calls which are always completed. The PASA feature provides protection in the following ways against unauthorized access of cellular units which might be left unattended:
s

The subscriber can restrict which personnel can make calls on a companyowned mobile unit. The service provider has the ability to track calls via the PASA number recorded in AMA records for valid PASA attempts. Immediate notication of unauthorized access is provided to the service provider via an optional output message.

Remote Feature Activation


This feature allows subscribers to activate and deactivate features like Call Forwarding, Message Retrieval Service and Special Routing, even while roaming. This feature is similar to land-line and makes it easier for subscribers to use premium services.

Restricted Access
This feature restricts a subscriber from receiving service in a group or groups of cell sites, giving the service provider the ability to control the service area for all subscribers and roamers. Restricted mobiles cannot originate, terminate or handoff a call in a restricted area. Restricted areas can be dened across MSC boundaries and are delivered on a per-cell basis.

Lucent Technologies CDMA System Features

Short Message Service (SMS) on Analog Voice Channel


This feature allows service providers a means to deliver SMS messages to subscribers using IS-95A-compatible dual-mode mobile units. SMS allows callers who encounter busy or unavailable mobiles to leave a short alphanumeric message instead of receiving a busy tone. SMS is a new revenue generating opportunity for service providers and a feature desired by subscribers by combining the capabilities of wireless telecommunications with a pager.

Short Message Service on Paging Channel


This feature offers a means to send alphanumeric pager-like messages on a point-to-point basis via the CDMA air interface. It allows subscribers to receive short alphanumeric messages. The maximum length of a message is 128 characters.

Sleep Mode/Slotted Paging


This feature extends battery life of portables, increases talk time between recharging and allows subscribers to make longer and more frequent calls.

Subscriber Access Control Phase 1


This feature activates, in stages, an increasing number of mobiles that have been distributed among subscribers in a test or controlled area. The goal is to limit the volume of trafc in a given area to a pre-determined level. This feature is especially valuable when adding CDMA service to an existing AMPS cell site as a means of managing a controlled service introduction.

Subscriber Pre-Page Announcement


This feature enhances functionality by allowing the service provider to specify whether a calling party receives a preassigned announcement before attempting to page the mobile subscriber.

This feature permits a mobile to register without an explicit command from the user and is activated on a per-cell basis. Registration options include power-up registration, power-down registration, time-based registration, distance-based registration, zoned-based registration, parameter-change registration, automatic roaming.

CDMA/Analog Handoff IS-41B - AUTOPLEX System 1000


This feature supports a CDMA to Analog handoff, which is essentially a hard break before make handoff. The cell hands off the mobile unit's call to analog on another cell or analog channel on the same cell, if necessary. This feature allows a CDMA user to maintain an active call even if they travel outside of their current CDMA coverage area. Once a CDMA call has been handed down to analog, it will continue in analog mode and may even handoff again. A CDMA to Analog (Hard) handoff occurs when the dual-mode CDMA mobile is instructed to change its mode from CDMA to Analog during a call by the AUTOPLEX System 1000.

CDMA/Analog Spectrum Swap


With this feature, the service provider has the ability to switch between two congurations; one supporting only analog AMPS and one supporting CDMA in addition to analog AMPs. Therefore, a frequency range can be shared between the two technologies, one technology at a given time.

Lucent Technologies CDMA Call Processing

Call Processing
CDMA affects all phases of call processing, including call origination, call termination, handoffs, and call release. Call processing functions for the Lucent Technologies CDMA application are controlled by the Series II cell site and the Executive Cellular Processor Complex (ECPC).

Call Processing Elements


The MSC, the Series II cell sites, and the mobile units make up the elements required for call processing. The MSC is equipped with switching and interface equipment and provides all the cellular network switching required to process calls to and from the cellular subscriber. The MSC also provides the cellular interface to the standard telephone network. The cell site contains the necessary radio and associated control equipment to link the cellular subscriber, through the MSC, into the standard telephone network and to other cellular subscribers.

Lucent Technologies - Proprietary See notice on rst page (This information is subject to change and is not intended for contractual purposes.)

Issue 3

7-1

401-614-010

Mobile units can be either hand-held (portable) units or vehicle-mounted units. Both types contain a microprocessor that continually performs operations and communications with the cell sites, even when the mobile unit is not in use.

Dynamic Power Control


Dynamic Power Control (DPC) is a key component of the Lucent Technologies CDMA product, essential for increased capacity and improved performance. In a cellular environment, mobile phone users nearest the cell site can mask the signals from the mobiles farther away. The DPC controls the power transmitted from the mobiles to the cell site to help equalize the received signal levels. The transmitted power from each mobile is controlled so that all received signals arrive with equal power at the cell site. DPC works in both the forward and reverse directions.

Handoffs
A handoff is an automatic transfer of a cellular telephone call from:
s s s

one cell to another, one cell face to another, or one radio to another.

Call quality is maintained as the mobile user moves throughout the coverage area. Handoffs are initiated when the mobile unit measures a neighbor cells pilot signal (receive) power, and determines that this power level is above an acceptable threshold. The mobile unit or the ECPC, depending on handoff type, initiates the handoff processes necessary to maintain the clarity and quality of the phone call.

CDMA Soft Handoff


A major advantage to call processing in the CDMA system is the concept of soft handoffs. A soft handoff is an intercell handoff, providing uninterrupted speech continuity while the mobile is moving from one cell site to another. The mobile units transmit power is continuously monitored and controlled by the base stations involved in the handoff and is kept to a minimum. The net effects of this are increases in the capacity of the system and the coverage of the cells. This monitoring also greatly reduces the battery power used by the mobile, extending battery life. (See Figure 7-1 on page 7-3.) A soft handoff is essentially a make before break connection. The connection between the mobile unit and the cell site is established and may be maintained indenitely to the two or three cells serving the call. There is no drop off between or among cells. The Protocol Handler for Voice (PHV) board in the 5ESS-2000 Switch DCS selects, on a frame by frame basis, the best signal from the participating cells to feed the vocoder. This provides a very high quality voice transmission.

2-Way and 3-Way Soft Handoff


A 2-way or 3-way soft handoff is one in which a mobile unit is communicating with two or three cells at the same time.

Softer Handoff
A softer handoff is an intracell handoff, occurring between sectors of a two sector or three sector sub-cell. This type of handoff occurs only at the cell site and is independent of the MSC. When a call is in softer handoff, the second connection to the requested call circuit is made before the original connection is broken. The mobile will communicate with only one CDMA Channel Element (CE), which handles and combines the signals from both sectors. Softer handoffs will improve trunking efciency and provide improved switch performance.

Hard Handoff
A hard handoff (as compared with a soft handoff) is essentially a break before make connection. The cell hands off the mobile units call to another cell and then drops the call. This is the traditional handoff method for analog and TDMA call processing. Hard handoffs and CDMA-to-analog handoffs are performed by the ECPC.

Lucent Technologies - Proprietary See notice on rst page (This information is subject to change and is not intended for contractual purposes.)

7-4 Issue 3

Lucent Technologies CDMA Call Processing

A CDMA-to-analog handoff can occur between cells within the same system, as well as with cells from different vendors. This type of handoff occurs when the dual mode (both analog and digital capability) CDMA mobile unit is instructed to change its mode from CDMA to analog during a call. Consequently, the assigned Frame Selector is removed from the call conguration.

Roaming
Roaming is a term used to describe a cellular telephone operating outside its home calling area. Roaming across geographic areas is accomplished by intersystem networking.

Introduction
This chapter describes the benets of the 5ESS-2000 switch Digital Cellular Switch (DCS) and provides an overview of the hardware components needed for CDMA.

Description of the 5ESS-2000 Switch DCS


The 5ESS-2000 switch provides the switching fabric that manages the connectivity between the cell sites, ECPC and the various networks (LEC, IEC, Private, Signaling, Wireless Intelligent Networks, etc.). The 5ESS-2000 switch is globally deployed and a proven veteran in landline networks. Designed for heavy trafc, the 5ESS switchs high capacity, nonblocking switching fabric is optimized for efcient call handling. It offers superior reliability and every system needed for switching and control can be fully duplicated and hot-spared, allowing backup components to enter service instantly, if necessary. Integrating the 5ESS-2000 Switch DCS as part of the AUTOPLEX System 1000 is benecial for the following reasons:
s

The 5ESS-2000 Switch DCS is a high capacity digital switch designed for a variety of landline and wireless switching applications.

It provides switching capabilities for both landline and wireless network systems simultaneously. This allows service providers to use a single switch to administer, maintain and update rather than two, and provides for reduced oor space and power requirements. It has a modular architecture. It can be deployed in anywhere from the smallest to largest applications, with smooth easy growth (or even degrowth) between deployments of any size.This protects your initial investment by allowing for cost efcient upgrades. All equipment involved in switching and control is duplicated for continuous availability and reliability. It offers a variety of network interfaces. There is no service interruption for software updates. The 5ESS-2000 Switch DCS offers an excellent platform for future Lucent Technologies Intelligent Network (AIN) services.

Capabilities of the 5ESS-2000 Switch DCS


The 5ESS-2000 Switch DCS has been designed with capabilities that allow it to take maximum advantage of the rapidly changing technologies. The 5ESS-2000 Switch DCS
s

Offers highly reliable switching capabilities because of its duplicated architecture. Accommodates both wired and wireless ofces (in global markets where this is allowed) of varying sizes because it is designed for modular growth. Provides a centralized high-bandwidth interface to support packetized signaling messages and packet data switching. This packet-switching capability allows more efcient use of resources within the DCS, as well as the ability to perform soft handoffs. Performs Speech Handler Channel administration and selection. Utilizes a Protocol Handler for Asynchronous Transfer Mode (PHA) which provides communication between PSU2s, allowing a greater percentage of soft handoffs, thereby increasing the voice quality.

Utilizing Existing DCSs


The 5ESS-2000 Switch DCS can coexist with an existing DenityDCS1 within the same AUTOPLEX System 1000. Existing DCSs can be used as hub switches for CDMA cell sites. In this arrangement, CDMA trafc is routed to the MSCs 5ESS-2000 Switch for processing and routing to the PSTN. Analog and TDMA processing can remain on your existing DCSs. By protecting your investment in DCS equipment, you not only save money, but you assure uninterrupted service to your existing analog, TDMA, and Cellular Digital Packet Data (CDPD) subscribers. This trafc can be migrated to the 5ESS-2000 Switch when it is convenient and only if the need exists in the network.

CDMA is not supported on Denity DCSs. Lucent Technologies - Proprietary See notice on rst page (This information is subject to change and is not intended for contractual purposes.)

New Components for CDMA


To support CDMA, the AUTOPLEX System 1000 MSC must have a 5ESS-2000 Switch DCS as one of its switching elements. The 5ESS-2000 DCS must be equipped with a Packet Switching Unit 2 (PSU2), a CDMA Protocol Handler for Voice (PHV), and a Protocol Handler 4 (PH4) to support the Frame Relay Protocol Handler (FRPH) function. These components are the new and required components for supporting CDMA on the AUTOPLEX System 1000.

Lucent Technologies 5ESS2000 Digital Cellular

Protocol Handler for Voice (PHV)


The PHV encodes and decodes the compressed packetized speech for transmitting and receiving from the CDMA mobile unit through the cell site. The PHV contains a vocoder which converts the packetized speech to 64 Kbps voice and vice versa. Up to 12 simultaneous CDMA calls can be supported by each PHV. In addition, the PHV performs frame selection operations. During soft-handoff, a call can be live on up to three cells. The PHV selects the best signal from the participating cell sites to convert into digitized voice.

Protocol Handler 4 (PH4)


The PH4 supports the Frame Relay Protocol Handler (FRPH) function that provides the interface between the packet pipe and the packet bus. The PH4 terminates the CDMA packet pipes from the CDMA cell sites and routes them over the packet bus. See Figure 8-3 on page 8-6.

Protocol Handler for Asynchronous Transfer Mode (PHA)


The PHA provides an interconnect vehicle between multiple PSUs. The PHA connects a PH4 in one PSU to a PHV in another PSU.

PSU Packet Bus


The PSU Packet Bus provides communication path between the PH4, PHV and PHA.

Variable Rate Vocoder


The vocoder provides the functionality to convert encoded compressed voice packets to Pulse Code Modulation (PCM) voice samples and back. This process provides voice quality comparable to that of landline, and also increases call capacity for a given spectrum allocation. A variable rate vocoder transmits voice packets of various sizes over the network. The size of the voice packet depends on the level of speech activity. Voice is coded at a higher data rate when speech is present, and at various lower rates when the party is listening or pausing between syllables and sentences. The Lucent Technologies CDMA product offering includes either an 8 Kbps or a 13 Kbps variable rate vocoder on a given PHV.

The 5ESS-2000 switch DCS can support either type of vocoder. In addition, the 5ESS-2000 Switch DCS provides a exible platform that can support new voice algorithms that may be standardized in the future. The ECPC noties the 5ESS2000 Switch DCS as to the type of service (8 Kbps or 13 Kbps) needed when requesting a speech handler channel. In the future, the 5ESS-2000 DCS will be able to support both types of vocoders simultaneously. In the future, a variable rate multi-mode vocoder will be available. The multi-mode feature allows a service provider to limit the speech coders average rate, allowing better control of system loading.

Advantages of Using the 5ESS-2000 Switch DCS with CDMA


There are many advantages to having the 5ESS-2000 Switch DCS as part of your system, including the CDMA packet pipe structure, the facilities concentration, the facilities utilization, vocoder centralization, and inter-switch connectivity for MSC soft handoff.

Packet Pipe Structure


Transmission trunking for CDMA trafc between the cell site and the MSC occurs on a wideband channel called a packet pipe. The packet pipe is a logical grouping of DS0s within the DS1. The DS0 is a single 64 Kbps (or 56 Kbps) time slice on a T1 and/or E1 trunking facility. The packet pipe logically terminates at the PH4. Packet pipes carry CDMA trafc, both voice and data, from the CDMA Cluster Controller (CCC) to the PSU at the MSC. Using packet pipes for data and voice transport saves facilities costs for service providers. There is one packet pipe per CCC. The MSC can support up to 5400 CDMA packet pipes.

Packet Pipe Architecture and Call Processing


A packet pipe is comparable to a cell site trunk group in analog or TDMA. A packet pipe is a set of four DS0 channels within a DS1 that carries variable size CDMA trafc from the cell site. (In the future, the number of DS0s used will range from 2 to 8, depending on the bandwidth needed.)

Lucent Technologies 5ESS2000 Digital Cellular

Table 8-1 on page 8-9 shows the number of simultaneous calls a packet pipe can handle given the specied parameters. The remaining DS0s on the T1 facility can be used for trunks, data links, or other packet pipes. Table 8-1.

Type of Vocoder 13 Kbps 8 Kbps 13 Kbps 8 Kbps

Facilities Concentration
Facility connections between the 5ESS-2000 Switch DCS and the Series II cell site are over packet pipes.Table 8-2 on page 8-9 shows the ratio of conversations per packet pipe, given the specied parameters. Table 8-2. Comparison of Ratio of Calls per Packet Pipe Type of DS0 64 Kbps 64 Kbps Ratio of Calls per Packet Pipe 2.5-to-1 3.5-to-1

Type of Vocoder 13 Kbps 8 Kbps

Facilities Utilization
After processing a call at the Series II cell site, an nx64 Kbps (or nx56 Kbps) packet pipe carried over n DS0s contains the information of as many CDMA user channels as the bandwidth can support, assuming acceptable delay and blocking characteristics. One of the advantages of the 5ESS-2000 DCS is that for all CDMA calls, multiple packet pipes can occupy the same facility, which lowers your facilities costs.

Lucent Technologies Executive Cellular Processor Complex

Description of the ECPC


The Executive Cellular Processor Complex (ECPC) controls the operation of the AUTOPLEX System 1000. It interacts with the 5ESS-2000 Switch DCS and with the cell sites and other AUTOPLEX or other vendor systems through messages sent over data links. The ECPC is responsible for mobility management, call processing, system maintenance, technician interfaces, and system integrity. There are no new hardware additions to the ECPC for the CDMA applications. Standard AUTOPLEX System 1000 hardware is used. Software has been modied to provide CDMA functionality and the requisite OA&M interfaces to the ECPC to perform the call processing functions and to control CDMA OA&M functions.

Functions of the ECPC


The ECPC coordinates the actions of the main system elements (for example, the cell sites and the 5ESS-2000 Switch DCS) and provides the main interface to system operations and maintenance through the OMP. The ECP performs the following functions:

401-614-010

Charge Recording The ECP collects billing information from each Call Processing and Database Node (CDN) and stores it on mass media storage. Data Collection The ECP performs scheduled measurements of major system elements and reports variations from standard levels of operation. Standard peripheral interfaces such as the OMP, Video Display Terminals (VDTs), and printers provide the human-machine interface for reporting the measurements or system alarms to the Service Providers maintenance and administration personnel. Database Management: The ECP stores the databases that dene system hardware, operation parameters and customer subscriber information. In conjunction with the OMP, or the RC/V terminal, changes can be made to these databases via RC/V procedures Voice Channel Administration Voice Channel Administration of AUTOPLEX System 1000 cell sites is performed by the ECP. All other call processing operations are under the control of Interprocess Message Switch (IMS) CDNs.

How the ECPC Interfaces with Network Components


The ECPC interfaces directly with the Series II cell site and with the 5ESS-2000 Switch DCS. The ECPC is also able to interface with other vendors systems over Signaling System 7 (SS7) signaling links.

CDMA Impact on Existing AUTOPLEX System 1000 ECPC


The impact of CDMA on the existing AUTOPLEX System 1000 ECPC hardware architecture is minimal. The basic components and functionality will remain the same. A CDMA cell may connect to a 5ESS-2000 Switch DCS for CDMA trafc and remain connected to a Denity DCS for AMPS and TDMA.

ECPC Components
The main hardware component of the ECPC is the Lucent Technologies 3B21D processor computer which contains the Input/Output Processor (IOP), the Central Processor Unit (CPU), the memory stores, and the disk le controller. The 3B21D processor and its parts are described in the following section.

Lucent Technologies - Proprietary See notice on rst page (This information is subject to change and is not intended for contractual purposes.)

Lucent Technologies Executive Cellular Processor

3B21D Processor
The 3B21D is a fault-tolerant processor that has up to 256 Megabytes (MB) of physical memory with two expansion slots for growth. The CPU, the main memory stores, and much of the input/output processing is duplicated for backup purposes and high reliability. The 3B21D uses the same software base as its predecessor, the Lucent Technologies 3B20D processor. It maintains the 3B20D application interface, peripherals, and tool set, but consumes less power, generates less heat, and emits less acoustical noise than the 3B20D. NOTE: CDMA is compatible with your existing 3B20D, but for better performance, an upgrade to the 3B21D is recommended.

Input/Output Processor (IOP)


The Input/Output Processor (IOP) serves as the interface between several peripheral controllers and the CPU. It acts as the hub connecting up to 16 microprocessor-based peripheral controllers to the CPU. Each peripheral controller is programmed to handle up to four peripheral devices, such as user terminals and data sets. This distributed processing makes the 3B21D efcient and exible. The IOP helps to free up the CPU for non-I/O tasks. The IOP provides the following:
s

An interface between terminals, data links, small peripheral units, and the CPU. An autonomous input/output function through the Direct Memory Access (DMA) into the main memory store facility. Autonomous controls for the transfer of data blocks to and from peripheral devices. Buffering and data formatting as required by the different peripheral devices. A common software driver for all of the IOP peripherals. A duplicated processor frame for reliability.

s s

Central Processor Unit (CPU)


The Central Processor Unit (CPU) provides high speed control functions, such as logic, control, and arithmetic processes as required by the 3B21D. The CPU has a duplicated processor frame for reliability.

Memory Stores
The memory stores are controlled by the CPU. The CPU uses the memory stores to store programs while they are being executed and data while it is being processed. The memory stores are also duplicated for reliability.

Disk File Controller


The disk le controller controls up to eight disk drives. This disk le system is a secondary storage system that contains a backup of all system software. Information from the disk le controller is transferred to the main memory stores when needed by the CPU. The disk le controller is duplicated for reliability.

ECPC Software
The ECPC software includes the following capabilities:
s s s s

Call processing. Initialization, recovery, and overload. Operations, Administration, and Maintenance (OA&M). Measurements information, including performance analysis and service measurements. System conguration information, such as Home Location Register (HLR) and Visitor Location Register (VLR), and the number of cell sites, packet pipes, and channel elements required. Status display pages. Translations and database Recent Change and Verify (RC/V).

s s

CNI/IMS Ring
The CNI/IMS Ring supports a number of nodes such as the SS7 node for signaling and a pair of Direct Link Nodes (DLNs) for connecting the ECPC to the 5ESS-2000 Switch DCS. See Figure 9-1 on page 9-5. The CNI/IMS Ring consists of two cabinets a Ring Node cabinet and a Digital Facilities Access (DFA) cabinet. There are no anticipated changes necessary to the CNI/IMS Ring to support CDMA.

CDN
The CDN is one of the nodes on the CNI/IMS Ring. The minimum Ring conguration calls for two CDNs (N+1 sparing) which contain a complete set of databases for performing call processing functions. The CDN is responsible for the following call processing functions:
s

Requesting a speech handler from the DCS, and forwarding the speech handlers address to the cell. Accepting handoff information messages during active calls and during certain states of both call setup and handoff. The CDN also sends acknowledgment messages upon the receipt of handoff information from the cell. Communicating with all cells participating in a call. (Can be up to three cells, if the call is in the soft handoff state.)

ACDN
The Administrative Call Processing and Database Node (ACDN) helps in the call processing function. The two main tasks of the ACDN subsystem are as follows:
s s

Assigning new calls to CDNs, so that the load is equalized between CDNs. Maintaining the Global Call Status List to provide a map between the directory number of a mobile unit involved in a call and the CDN handling the call.

The ACDN tasks are not affected by adding CDMA to your system.

CSN
The Cell Site Node (CSN) is the link node that provides the interface between the cell site and the ECPC. The CSN performs broadcast functions for mobile paging and performs cell-to-cell message routing.

DLN
The Direct Link Node (DLN) provides the interface between the 5ESS-2000 Switch DCS and the ECPC.

SS7
The Signaling System 7 (SS7) Node is responsible for application level signaling messages. The node provides the physical data link connections to the network. Each SS7 node provides one high-speed data link to a Signal Transfer Point (STP) in the network, which handles message routing. The number of SS7 nodes needed depends on the volume of message trafc in the network.

ECPC/Cell Interface
The ECPC interfaces with the cell sites through the CSNs on the CNI/IMS Ring. This interface consists of application level signaling messages that are transported over the CNI/IMS Ring and the X.25 Link Access Protocol-Balanced (LAP-B) link. This is the same as the interface used for existing analog and TDMA systems. The application set covers the same functional areas, for example, call processing, OA&M functions, and service measurements. The same signaling link that currently handles analog and TDMA also handles CDMA trafc.

ECPC/DCS Interface
The ECPC interfaces with the 5ESS-2000 Switch DCS through the DLNs on the CNI/IMS Ring. The ECPC/DCS interface consists of application level signaling messages that are transported over the CNI/IMS Ring and the SS7 link. This is the same as the interface for the existing analog and TDMA systems. The application set covers the same functional areas: for example, call processing, OA&M functions, initialization, and service measurements.

ECPC to Other Vendors System Interface


The ECPC is able to interface with other vendors systems (or other ECPCs in the same system) over the SS7 signaling links or over the X.25 links. The communications consist of IS-41 standard application messages, such as those for call delivery and roaming.

Introduction
The Lucent Technologies Operations, Administration, and Maintenance (OA&M) strategy focuses on a set of OA&M capabilities and tools that are exible and comprehensive. OA&M capabilities are critical to maintaining a high-quality and cost-effective cellular system. The tools and procedures used for performing CDMA OA&M tasks are enhanced versions of those currently being used for the AUTOPLEX System 1000.

OA&M Strategy
For the Lucent Technologies CDMA product, OA&M procedures will be supported in the following manner:
s

Fault detection and recovery will be introduced in phases for CDMA. See Chapter 6, Lucent Technologies CDMA System Features. Non-Volatile Memory (NVM) updates will be supported. The NVM process will be the same as the process used for analog and TDMA boards. Auditing functions will be available for collecting and analyzing data off-line.

Tools and Test Sets


There are databases and tools both standard and optional available for performing routine OA&M procedures on your CDMA system. These include the OMP, the AutoPACE System tools, and the CDMA Radio Test Units (CRTUs).

Operations and Management Platform (OMP)


The Operations and Management Platform (OMP) is an element of the AUTOPLEX System 1000 distributed architecture that is dedicated to the support of all system OA&M activities. The OMP is based on a SUN SPARCserver1 that is interfaced with the AUTOPLEX System 1000, allowing you to access the full potential of open systems and client/server computing (see Figure 10-1 on page 10-3). The OMP, a required component for CDMA, provides high-capacity memory and data storage, and also helps to keep costs low by providing compatibility with other commercial products. The OMP consolidates user interfaces to the AUTOPLEX System 1000. Instead of multiple terminals for running various database and maintenance functions, there is one windowing workstation from which a technician can perform all operations, administration, and maintenance functions. The OMP is responsible for data storage for service measurements. The OMP stores the trafc and service measurements data that the ECPC collects. The ECPC forwards the les of collected data to the OMP for storage. This le transfer is automatic and requires no action by the operations technicians or trafc personnel.

SPARCserver is a trademark of SPARC International, Inc. in the United States and other countries. Lucent Technologies - Proprietary See notice on rst page (This information is subject to change and is not intended for contractual purposes.)

Benets of the OMP


There are many advantages to having the OMP as part of your system:
s

Many of the processing functions have already been off-loaded from the ECP to the OMP. This improves ECPC performance by providing additional real-time capacity for other internal system tasks. The OMP, because it is a next generation, general purpose computer, has over 10 times the processing capacity of the specialized ECPC. Performing processing functions on the OMP means increased system response time and improved user response time for OA&M functions and report generation. The OMP workstation offers a simple, user-friendly graphical interface for technicians that provides easy data access and interpretation.

For further information on the OMP, see the AUTOPLEX Cellular Telecommunications Systems System 1000 Operations, Administration, and Maintenance Guide (401-610-160).

AutoPACE System
The AutoPACE System is a highly recommended set of performance analysis tools that can be used to help ne-tune or troubleshoot an existing AUTOPLEX System 1000. Four modules, each used to investigate a different type of performance data, will be included in the AutoPACE System to support the operation of your CDMA system. The four modules are as follows:
s

Trafc Analysis used to analyze and report service measurement data collected every hour by the AUTOPLEX System 1000. Reports are userdenable to meet the specic needs of each customer. Conguration Management used to provide reports describing the conguration of a particular AUTOPLEX System 1000 as dened by the parameters stored in a database on the Executive Cellular Processor (ECP). Standardized tabular and geographic reports, as well as userdened tabular reports are available. Maintenance Message Analysis used to analyze and lter messages generated by call processing failures. These messages can be grouped in terms of subscriber number, system equipment, terminal manufacturer, etc., to identify root causes of failed calls. Special Engineering Studies used to schedule and analyze a variety of studies to help engineers grow, ne-tune, or troubleshoot systems and their performance. The results of these studies help engineers understand details associated with handoffs and power levels of subscriber calls.

The AutoPACE System is a multi-user system based on a client-server architecture for exibility. The AutoPACE System clients are PCs with an industry standard Graphical User Interface (GUI) that increases operational efciency and reduces training costs. The AutoPACE System server is a SUN workstation with a UNIX Operating System that interfaces with the OMP to access wireless system data. As the AUTOPLEX System 1000 evolves with new and enhanced features, the AutoPACE System is maintained to stay in synch with new ECP and cell site releases so that system operators are able to access and analyze the data required to maintain the quality of their systems.

CDMA Radio Test Unit (CRTU)


The CDMA Radio Test Unit (CRTU) provides you with a mechanism for testing both CDMA Special Purpose Channels (Overhead, Pilot/Sync/Access and Paging) and CDMA trafc channels that are used by CDMA cell sites. Using standard IS-95 based protocols, a test terminal is used to acquire the system, report any errors during system acquisition, and have the RCC perform recovery where appropriate on defective channels. This test is applicable to all CDMAbased products, including Series II, Cellular CDMA Minicell, and PCS CDMA Minicell.

Introduction
This section presents a high-level description of the basic support services that are offered by Lucent Technologies to Wireless CDMA service providers. These services cover the entire range of needs, from basic design requirements through maintenance and training.

Planning Services
The following sections describe the three basic Planning Services provided by Lucent Technologies.

Spectrum Clearing
To use CDMA, a block of RF spectrum is required. In an isolated service area with no pre-existing analog service, the spectrum required for each link is simply the CDMA bandwidth (1.23 MHz). However, in an area with analog capability inside and outside the boundaries of the CDMA spectrum, guard bands and guard zones must be established (see Analog to CDMA Conversion on page 3-6 for more information on guard bands). Lucent Technologies will design the necessary guard bands and guard zones to ensure CDMA and the adjacent services do not interfere with each other.
