1. LTE426: System Time Broadcast for SIB8
Introduction to the feature

Idle mode mobility from LTE to CDMA2000/1xRTT and CDMA2000/HRPD networks requires
that UEs camping on an LTE cell can remain synchronized with the CDMA2000 networks.
In the scope of this feature, the CDMA2000 system time information is added to the
content of SIB8 to be broadcasted to the UEs served by an LTE cell.
1.1 LTE426 benefits

The timing info is used to enable single-receiver UEs to synchronize with CDMA2000
network while camping on an LTE cell.
1.2 LTE426 functional description

In the scope of this feature, the timing of LTE frames on the air interface is synchronized
with the CDMA2000 frame timing. Both frame types have a length of 10ms. The frame
borders become synchronized, the frame numbering remains RAT specific.
The eNB receives its timing from the GPS receiver and calculates the CDMA2000 system
time corresponding to a given reference point in the LTE network’s frame structure.
The reference point is defined as ‘the LTE SFN (system frame number) boundary at or after
the ending boundary of the SI-window in which SIB8 is transmitted’. This is illustrated in
Figure Time reference point in CDMA2000 timing.
Figure 1: Time reference point in CDMA2000 timing
Each 10-millisecond LTE frame represents 12288 CDMA2000 chips. When the bounder of an


LTE frame is aligned with the start of CDMA2000 frame signal, the CDMA2000 system time
is broadcasted with the IE cdma-synchronous-systemTime. The difference in timing
between the LTE frame and the broadcasted CDMA2000 system time will remain between
±1 microsecond.
In case of TDD, if the 10ms frame border of the eNB are not aligned with the start of the
CDMA 2000 frame signal, the CDMA 2000 System Time is broadcasted with the IE cdma-
AsynchronousSystemTime in SIB8.
For each occurence of SIB8 (excluding SIB8 repetitions within the SI-n window) the CDMA
2000 System Time is calculated by eNB corresponding to the following "time reference
point": LTE SFN boundary at or after the ending boundary of the SI-window in which SIB8 is
transmitted.
1.3 LTE426 system impact
