I think somebody is trying to pull a fast one. I would ask him to clarify a bit. If
anything, he's discussing internal workings of a NOK switch, which has little to do
with the abstractions of 3G.
In the "much simpler" world if IS-2000, much of that goes away. If he has any clue,
he would know that. That's the basis of my comment about obfuscating things.
The internal nomenclature and descriptions, as well as designs, are very much
different when you are talking about one vendor's implementation over another. In the
concepts of IS-95, all of this is abstracted, IS-2000 follows suit in the same manner.
IS-95's Packet Data Protocol Stack (IS-707) is much more elegant, and easier to
implement. It makes sense that the harmonized IS-2000 stack would implement
IS-707's stack with subtle improvements.
NTT's project may end up being proprietary, but not of much concern, they should
be able to go compliant without much trouble, perhaps even with a simple software
upgrade to the terminals and base stations.
Remember, W-CDMA as an independent entity, is no more...
