microe,

<< Anyone know what is the "b" version of the cdma2000 standard? >>

This refers to phased development of the 3GPP2 cdma2000 standards.

First there was Release 0.

Release 0 (essentially the first phase of 1xRTT) dates back to July 1999 and it did not incorporate all of the requirements that 3G3 harmonization added.

The MSM5000 used for the commercial "launch" in Korea was essentially developed to this standard.

Release A is the cdma2000 standard published in spring of 2000 and formally accepted by the ITU for IMT-2000. It is generally analogous to 3GPP's 'R99". Like 'R99' Release A was not fully developed and completely stable at time of it's publication (although it appears that it was considerably more forward compatible than 'R99' at time of publication. It remains a work in progress.

The MSM5105 is Release A compliant as will be the MSM5100.

Concurrently Release B is being worked on.

Somewhere I have a listing of functionality in Release 0 that was not completed and pushed forward to 'RA' and a listing of functionality being added in 'RB'. If I run across it I'll post.

All this somewhat analogous to 3GSM 'R99', 'R4' (which essentially mirrors 'R99' with additions related to MMS et al) an 'R5' (which focuses on the all IP core and related HSDPA extension to WCDMA)
