• CDMA 2000-is a mobile digital radio technology where channels are defined with codes (PN
Sequences).
• CDMA permits many simultaneous transmitters on the same frequency channel. Since more
phones can be served by fewer cell sites, CDMA –based standards have a significant
economic advantage over TDMA or FDMA-based standards.
• This standard is being developed by Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA) of US
and is standardized by 3GPP2.
• The main CDMA 2000 standards are : CDMA 2000 1xRTT, CDMA 2000 1xEV and CDMA
2000 EV-DV.
• CDMA 2000 1xRTT :
• RTT stands for Radio Transmission Technology and the designation “1x” meaning “1 times
Radio Transmission Technology”, indicates the same RF bandwidth as IS-95. The main
features of CDMA 2000 1X are as follows :
• 1.Supports an instantaneous data rate up to 307 Kbps for a user in packet mode and a typical
throughput rates of144 Kbps per user, depending on the number of user, the velocity of user
and the propagating conditions.
• 2.Supports up to twice as many voice users at the 2G CDMA Standard.
• 3.Provides the subscriber unit with up to two times the standby time for longer lasting
battery life.
• CDMA 2000 EV :This is an evolutionary advancement of CDMA with the following characteristics :
• 1.Provides CDMA carriers with the options of installing radio channels with data only (CDMA 2000
EV- DO) and with data and voice (CDMA 2000 EV-DV)
• 2.The CDMA 2000 1xEV-DO supports greater than 2.4 Mbps of instantaneous high speed packet
throughput per user on a CDMA channel, although the user data rates are much lower and highly dependent on other
factors.
• 3.CDMA 2000 EV-DV can offer data rates up to 144 Kbps with about twice as many voice channels as IS-95B.
CDMA 2000 3x :
• 1.It is (also known as EV-DO Rev B) is a multi-carrier evolution.
• 2.It has higher rates per carrier (up to 4.9 Mbps on the downlink per carrier). Typical deployments are expected to
include 3 Carriers for a peak rate of 14.7 Mbps. Higher rates are possible by bundling multiple channels together.
It enhances the user experience and enables new services such as high definition video streaming.
• 3.Uses statistical multiplexing across channels to further reduce latency, enhancing the experience for latency-sensitive
services such as gaming, video telephony, remote console sessions and web browsing.
• 4.It provides increased talk-time and standby time.
• 5.The interference from the adjacent sectors is reduced by hybrid frequency reuse and improves the rates that can be
offered, especially to users at the edge of the cell.
• 6.It has efficient support for services that have asymmetric download and upload requirements (i.e. different data rates
required in each direction) such as file transfers, web browsing, and broadband multimedia content delivery.
• CDMA2000 standard is based on CDMAone system and allows to access internet by using wireless carrier with
high data speed. In the year 2002 the first CDMA2000 system was offered and
• standardized by 3GPP2 (3rd Generation Partnership Project 2). It is especially used in North America and South
America and South Korea. It shares its infrastructure with the IS-95 2G standards. To improve the performance of
existing system, the CDMA2000 does not use any extra equipment. It just only changed the software or hardware
of the existing system.
• The CDMA2000 is more advanced than the CDMAone as it serves the twice number of users than
• CDMAone and the battery life of mobile station is twice as compared to CDMAone. It also provides high speed
data access by using packet data transport. CDMA2000 is seamless and less expensive as compared to W-CDMA.
CDMA2000 also known as IMT-CDMA. Multi-carrier is a CDMA version of the IMT-2000 standard developed
by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU).
• The CDMA2000 family reuses the existing IS-95 service standards such as those that define speech services,
Short Message Services, with significant enhancement in voice capacity, data speed rate and network features.
QoS in 3G network -
1.Network Services are considered end-to-end, this means from a Terminal Equipment (TE)
to another TE. An End-to-End Service may have a certain Quality of Service (QoS) which is
provided for the user of a network service.
2.It is the user that decides whether he is satisfied with the provided QoS or not. To realize a
certain network QoS a Bearer Service with clearly defined characteristics and functionality is to be
set up from the source to the destination of a service.
3.A bearer service includes all aspects to enable the provision of a contracted QoS. These aspects are
among others the control signaling, user plane transport and QoS management functionality.
4.A UMTS bearer service layered architecture is depicted below, each bearer service on a specific
layer offers it’s individual services using services provided by the layers below.
There are four different QoS classes :
1.conversational class
2.streaming class
3.interactive class
4.background class.

Features of 4G
• VoLTE- Features : Voice over Long Term evolution
1. Set up of the transmission path between the terminal and IMS.
2. Security features for user authentication providing.
3. Providing the core functionality for the establishment and termination of the call(via SIP).
4. Support to call forwarding, caller ID presentation and restriction, call waiting and multiparty conference.
• Designed for both voice and data traffic.
• Advantages of VoLTE :
1. It delivers all voice and data services over same network. Hence it does not require to maintain legacy infrastructure.
2. VoLTE make calls much faster compare to 2G/3G voice calls.
3. It offers better security and QOS (Quality of service) compare to legacy 2G/3G networks.
4. Delivers an unusually clear calling experience.
5. Provides rapid call establishment time.
• Disadvantages of VoLTE :
1. It requires investment in network wide IMS. Hence this will not be available everywhere and hence roaming could be
challenge for sometime.
2. If there is no data connection or 4G signaling in the area, user will neither be able to call nor able to use internet using
handset.
• VoLTE should be supported by handsets in order to obtain VoLTE services. The VoLTE feature is not available in all mobile
handsets.
