MicroE, << Do you agree with Ben that the EETimes article was referring to IS95B? >> Ben and I sometimes interpret what is happening in the 2 partnership projects a little differently. <g> Ben might state that slightly differently. <ggg> I do think it is pretty clear that EETimes was referring to Revision B of the cdma2000 standard and not IS-95B (64 kbps packet data) or IS-95C (153/144 kbps packet data) or a combination of the two. I am under the impression that Revision B is far from complete much less stable (the framework or capabilities overview was not published all that long ago - Version 1.0 Initial Release was dated 14 June 2001). Despite this there may be some basic capabilities of cdma2000 Release B that KDDI deems necessary for commercial launch and feel will be far enough along in standardization or commercial development to incorporate on the network (or in subscriber equipment if impacted) next spring. >> Basic design objectives of the 3GPP2 Release B system as enhanced from the cdma2000 Release A specifications are indicated below (from the capabilities guide): CORE CAPABILITY ENHANCEMENTS (cdma2000 Release B) •• IOS v4.1 and v4.2 • Wireless IP Network Specification SERVICE ADDITIONS/ENHANCEMENTS • Access Control Based on Call-Type • Advice of Charge • Allowing different multiplex options for FCH/DCCH • Answer Hold • Automatic Code Gapping • Common Control Channel Support • Diversity code combining in soft handoff • Enhanced Rate Adaption Mode (ERAM) • Freephone • Low Data Rate Devices Support • Network Support for MDN-based Message Centers • New repetition and puncturing scheme for flexible/variable rate • Prepaid • Position determination services • Preferred Language • Premium Rate Charging • Rejection of Undesired Annoying Calls • Rescue Channel for call recovery • R-UIM • User Selective Call Forwarding STANDING SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS • Increased Battery Life for the Mobile • Full Support of cdma2000 Release 0 and Release A Systems • Physical Layer Optimization and Signaling Layer Support • Backward compatibility with previous releases of core network and A-interface. << Best, - Eric -
