re: Qualcomm on "WCDMA Network Deployments: Asynchronous vs. Synchronous" Link supplied by you (via Brational) elsewhere to this Qualcomm whitepaper dated 9/27/2001 on the above subject and posted her for the benefit of others: cdmatech.com The introductory paragraph ... A basic design decision facing an operator of a WCDMA network is the nature and level of synchronization between base stations in the network. The WCDMA standard allows asynchronous operation in which each base station uses its own independent timing reference. The standard also allows base stations to be synchronized and, in fact, provides explicit signaling support that allows the benefits of synchronous operation to be realized. In this paper, we contrast these two approaches to synchronization and provide qualitative and quantitative analyses showing the beneficial effects on communication system performance of synchronizing WCDMA base stations. We show that synchronizing WCDMA base stations increases handset standby time by up to 2.5 times, improves paging performance and enhances system capacity. I'm not exactly sure who the target audience for this paper is or what its strategic intent is since either synchronous or asynchronous operation has been a component of R'99' from day one. It may relate to prioritization of what is deployed in initial launches, or priorities in 3GPP development efforts, but somehow I would guess that there is an ulterior motive that goes beyond good and welfare and it may relate to ALL-IP RANs of the future that will support multiple air interfaces. - Eric -
