Sync Message Parameters

Message Type (MSG_TYPE) Identifies this message and determines its structure (set to the fixed value of 00000001) Protocol Revision Level (P_REV) Shall be set to 00000001 Minimum Protocol Revision Level (MIN_P_REV) 8-bit unsigned integer identifying the minimum protocol revision level required to operate on the system. Only mobile stations that support revision numbers greater than or equal to this field can access the system. System ID (SID) 16-bit unsigned integer identifying the system Network ID (NID) 16-bit unsigned integer identifying the network within the system (defined by the owner of the SID) Pilot PN Sequence Offset Index (PILOT_PN) Set to the pilot PN offset for the base station (in units of 64 chips), assigned by the network planner Long Code State (LC_STATE) Provides the mobile station with the base station long code state at the time given by the SYS_TIME field, generated dynamically System Time (SYS_TIME) GPS system-wide time as 320 ms after the end of the last superframe containing any part of this message, minus the pilot PN offset, in units of 80 ms, generated dynamically

Sync Channel Message Parameters (cont.)

Leap Seconds (LP_SEC) Number of leap seconds that have occurred since the start of system time (January 6, 1980 at 00:00:00 hours) as given in the SYS_TIME field, generated dynamically Local Time Offset (LTM_OFF) Twos complement offset of local time from system time in units of 30 minutes, generated dynamically
Current local = SYS_TIME LP_SEC + LTM_OFF

Daylight savings time indicator (DAYLT) Determined by the network planner

1 if daylight savings in effect in this base station 0 otherwise

Paging Channel Data Rate (PRAT) The data rate of the paging channel for this system, determined by the network planner
00 if 9600 bps 01 if 4800 bps

CDMA Frequency Assignment (CDMA_FREQ)

Paging Channels

CDMA Forward Traffic Channels

CDMA Cell Site
Pilot Forward Traffic Channel

Forward Traffic Channel

Sync Forward Traffic Channel Paging Forward Traffic Channel

Used for the transmission of user and signaling information to a specific mobile station during a call. Maximum number of traffic channels: 64 minus one Pilot channel, one Sync channel, and 1 Paging channel.
This leaves each CDMA frequency with at least 55 traffic channels. Unused paging channels can provide up to 6 additional channels.
