CDMA2000 1xEV-DO Rel 0 Overview

CDMA2000 1xEV-DO Rev A Overview or equivalent knowledge

This course is intended for experienced telecommunications professionals working in commercial operations and know single carrier EV-DO systems.

Currently there is a soaring demand of high quality wireless experience and data rates from mobile users. This is driving operators towards finding ways to optimize their current infrastructure. Multicarrier EVDO (Rev B) offers higher data rates, lower latencies among other advantages while being backward compatible with previous versions of EVDO. Operators considering multicarrier EV-DO need to understand its conceptual, technical and operational advantages. This course provides a holistic view of multicarrier EV-DO system. The students will gain an understanding of the functionalities and enhancements available for deploying current and new services using this technology. The course starts with the key concepts followed by a comprehensive overview of the physical, mac and application protocol changes related to multicarrier EVDO operations. Subsequently, there is a discussion of set management and handoffs. Finally network considerations and enhanced features for future deployments are explained.

After completion of this course, the student will be able to:

• List the advantages of multicarrier EV-DO
• Describe how higher data rates are achieved per user
• Recognize the functional differences and features inherent to the different protocol layers in multicarrier EV-DO
• Explain how the enhancements improve the performance and efficiency of best effort and delay sensitive application on bundled EV-DO carriers
• Describe network planning and/hot spots for the deployment of multicarrier systems
• Describe upcoming enhanced features in multicarrier EV-DO systems
