Who Should Attend:

Technical personnel who wish to know more about CDMA2000 including those involved in system design, system test, systems engineering, network engineering, product support, network operations, and product line management focused on core network technologies.

Prerequisites:

An understanding of data Communications of TCP/IP and IP routing is preferred.

Course Description:

This course provides the student an in-depth description of the functioning of a cdma2000 system according to the key CDMA standards (TIA/EIA/IS2000-A) and the rationale behind the specifications. Course discussions provide a point by point description of key processes including power control, spread spectrum signal generation, hand-off techniques, call processing, registration, authentication, encryption. Emphasis is placed on new features and capabilities introduced in cdma2000.

Course Objectives:

Upon completing this course the participant will be able to define CDMA2000 in a 3G context, understand how CDMA2000 (1x, 1xEV-DO and 1xEV-DV) enhances IS-95 networks, list its new services, explain its key aspects and capabilities as an access network, find information in appropriate documents, and suggest its likely evolution into the 3G world. The detailed descriptions of the radio interface as an elaborate extension of the IS-95 Access Network, the MAC, LAC, and RLP sub-layers, and the behavior of the system offered in the course should allow the participant to, for example, understand dimensioning procedures and predict the consequences of various configurations.
