Huawei Completes First EHRPD Optimized Handoff Test

Huawei today announced the successful completion of a commercial test for LTE to CDMA evolved, High-Rate Packet Data (eHRPD) optimized handoff. eHRPD means the evolution and improvement of the original CDMA EV-DO network.   eHRPD acts as a bridge from CDMA to LTE by ensuring service continuity while protecting existing operator investment. In the initial … Read more

Packet-Switched Radio Interface in LTE

LTE has been designed as a completely packet-oriented multi service system, without the reliance on circuit-switched connection-oriented protocols prevalent in its predecessors. In LTE, this philosophy is applied across all the layers of the protocol stack. The route towards fast packet scheduling over the radio interface was already opened by HSDPA, which allowed the transmission … Read more

What is inside SIM Card (Subscriber Identity Module) ?

Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) The SIM as mentioned previously is a “smart card” which plugs into the ME and contains information about the MS subscriber hence the name Subscriber Identity Module. The SIM contains several pieces of information: International Mobile Subscriber Identity (IMSI)This number identifies the MS subscriber. It is only transmitted over the air … Read more

How To Set Pilot Search Window Sizes in CDMA ?

When the handset first powers up, it does an exhaustive search for the best pilot. No windows are used in this process. On the paging channel, the handset learns the window sizes SRCH_WIN_A, N, R and uses them when looking for neighbors both in idle mode and during calls. When a strong neighbor is requested … Read more

Advantages of CDMA Handoff

Advantages of CDMA Handoff It is “soft”, meaning that communication is not interrupted by the handoff. This is sometimes called “make before break.” This means fewer dropped calls for users and higher customer satisfaction for operators. The handoff is not abrupt, but rather it is a prolonged call state during which there is communication via … Read more

Handoff Candidate Classification in CDMA

The mobile station continuously searches for Pilots to detect the presence of other CDMA signals that have the same carrier frequency and measures the strength (received Ec/Nt) of the pilots.  When the mobile station detects a Pilot of sufficient strength that is not associated with the serving cell/sector, it sends a message to the serving … Read more
