SYSTEM DESCRIPTION OF UMG8900

Chapter 1 Overview

At CDMA2000 phase 0 and phase 1, the network architecture of the NSS adopts the
traditional TDM mode. Compared with phase 0, protocols and services are enhanced at
phase 1, such as the TDM and packet switching technologies, switchover of the packet
data service and the circuit service call after the switchover, and data services after the
switchover of the voice service.
Figure 1-1 shows the typical network structure at CDMA2000 phase 1 and before.

In this networking mode, the traditional voice and narrowband data services adopt the
TDM mode. The new packet service accesses the external Internet by Public Data
Serving Node (PDSN) through a border router to provide data services.
When the CDMA network evolves to CDMA2000 phase 2, it follows several steps
described below. It first uses the LMSD to access the original voice service. This mode
is based on the Bearer Independent Call Control (BICC) architecture. Figure 1-2 shows
the structure of the LMSD.
