Detailed understanding of cdma2000 1xEV-DO Rev A Overview or equivalent knowledge.

This advanced workshop is designed for the experienced telecommunications professional involved with equipment manufacture and/or its deployment or operation. This individual should desire understanding network performance, behavior, and capacity impacts to a 1xEV-DO Rev. A deployment with real-time services and BE users through the design choice of parameters and the analysis to quantify the impact to network performance.

The deployment cdma2000 1xEV-DO Revision A is a crucial stepping stone that will allow operators to differentiate themselves by enabling a variety of applications and real-time services. 1xEV-DO Release 0 is designed to provide high-speed data transfers for Best Effort (BE) type applications, such as Web browsing and E-mail with the focus being on maximizing sector and user throughputs. With 1xEV-DO Revision A, new features provide support for real-time applications as well as improving the data performance of BE applications. The performance focus is not only to maximize throughputs for BE applications, but ensure Quality of Service requirements are met for the real-time applications as well as maximizing network capacity. As a result, a multitude of new parameters are available in 1xEV-DO Rev. A that govern the mobile behavior and network performance in terms of achievable capacity and application performance.

This workshop provides an in-depth and comprehensive understanding into the many configurable network parameters, defined by the standard, which can be optimized for improved system performance. The course will include an exploration into  the design criteria and trade-offs of parameters for the deployment of Best Effort and VOIP-type applications in a 1xEV-DO Rev. A network. The workshop begins by characterizing and categorizing the relevant parameters and requirements for BE and VOIP applications. Next, an overview of the system access, system paging, and in-traffic behavior of VOIP and BE applications will be provided. The remainder of the workshop illustrates and details the steps and parameters governing the behavior of the Access Terminal and Access Network during system access/paging, and when in-traffic on the Forward and Reverse Links. Network capacity, performance and user experience trade-offs will be explored using design and analysis exercises, incorporating live field data and active network configurations. This workshop is based on parameters defined in 3GPP2 C.S0024-A as well as QUALCOMM’s Master System Parameters.

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

• List, describe, categorize, characterize, and manage the relevant 1xEV-DO Rev. A parameters for BE and VOIP applications.
• Illustrate typical BE and VOIP call flows.
• List the characteristics for BE and VOIP during system access, system paging, and in-traffic for the forward and reverse links
• BE and VOIP connection setup and traffic requirements.
• Design considerations and limitations affecting network capacity
• Illustrate and describe the steps and parameters involved in the system access procedure.
• Illustrate the steps and describe the parameters involved in system paging.
• Describe system paging optimizations and discuss various paging schemes.
• Explain the purpose of the 1xEV-DO Rev A Application Subtypes and list the salient features with their respective parameters and impacts.
• Identify the support the 1xEV-DO Application Subtypes provide for BE and VOI
