1x EV-DO is an upgraded version of 1x that provides high-speed packet data services using a separate wireless component. It uses the same frequency bandwidth as 1x but is optimized for data transfer, with speeds up to 2.4Mbps. Key changes in the 1x EV-DO network include adding packet data network elements, independent authentication servers, and new interfaces.

Data Only. It is a dedicated technology for high speed data transfer. 1xEV-DO is considered as the upgraded version of 1x. 1x EV-DO is based on IS-856 specification which was developed by Qualcomm and Lucent. The System Structure of 1xEV-DO can be regarded as a combination of the 1x system with an extra wireless component. 1x provides voice and other low speed services while 1xEV-DO is focus on the high speed packet data services. In addition, 1x EV-DO and 1x use different carrier frequency to transfer data This feature helps optimize both the voice services and the high speed packet data services and ensure them the best performances. 1xEV-DO uses the same frequency bandwidth as narrow band CDMA. The highest data transfer rate is 2.4Mbit/s. Take the inheritance from 1x system into account, the 1x EV-DO is compatible with the 1x in wireless features. It can be seen as a new frequency point of 1x. This makes the RF equipment of 1x EV- DO and 1x system are replaceable to each other. The 1x EV-DO system structure The Differences from the 1x system:
1x EV-DO is data only, so there is no
interface to MSC/HLR. Packet Data Domain equipment (PDSN, AAA, HA), same as 1x. Independent Access Network AAA server is added. 2 A interfaces are added. A12 for access system authentication, and A13 for interaction between AT roaming home AN, foreign AN. A – Interfaces between different elements of CDMA 2000 1x: A – Interfaces between different elements of CDMA 2000 1x EV – DO: Changed parts in upgrading to CDMA 2000 1x EV – DO: BTS side:
If new EVDO carrier is added
Add EVDO base band processing part Add related Radio transmission part, keep antenna and feeder. If upgrading 1x carrier to EVDO carrier : Add EVDO base band processing part, Keep antenna and feeder no change BSC side:
Add EVDO processing part, upgrade
related software EVDO Signaling PCF Side:
Add data processing module considering
Increased capacity when upgrading Dual Mode Operation with 1x/EVDO
As 1xEV-DO supports only data traffic, a total voice
and data solution needs integrating Cdma2000 1x and 1xEV-DO Dual mode handset keeps same IMSI any time. Dual mode handset can simultaneously monitor two systems paging message. When dual mode handset is in active state under 1xEVDO, it will periodically monitor 1X system paging channel to guarantee not to miss 1X voice call. Packet data service handoff can happen between 1x and EVDO CDMA 2000 1x EV – DO Channel Structure: Pilot channel:
The pilot channel is used for the pilot
signal transmission from Access network to Access terminal. Forward MAC channel:
The forward MAC channel is
composed of Reverse Power Control (RPC) channel, Reverse Activation (RA) channel and Data Rate control Locking channel. RPC channel is used for power control of AT which is transferring data on the Reverse channel. Reverse Activation channel is used to dynamically control the work load of Reverse channel. When overload is detected, the bit stream in RA channel forces the AT which are transmitting data on RA randomly lower their reverse data rate in order to reduce the emission power and the collisions when terminals accessing. In case the AN can not receive the DRC signals from an AT, the DRC channel will stop the particular AT from sending data to AN. Forward Traffic Channel:
Forward Traffic channel is used by AN
to send data. It works at full power when sending data. Forward Control Channel:
Forward control channel is used to
send broadcasting common configuration parameters from AN to AT. It also sends signaling messages to a particular AT in case the traffic channels are not activated. Reverse Channel Structure: Reverse Channels
The reverse channels provide
connections between AT and AN. They have the following features. Data Rates up to 153.6 kbits/s Dynamic Power control Work load of reverse channels is adjusted by rate control. Reverse Access Channels
1. Reverse Access Channels (Reverse
pilot channels and Data channels): Reverse Access Channels are used by AT, to initiate calls or respond to AN paging messages. Reverse Traffic channels
Reverse Traffic channels (pilot channels,
MAC channels, Data channels, ACK channels): Pilot channel for demodulation DRC sub channel is used by AT to give instructions to AN. These instructions include the required data rate of forward traffic channels and the service areas selected by forward channels PRI channels are used to indicate the data rate of in operation reverse data channels. Data Channels are used to transfer reverse data packets. ACK sub-channels are used by AT to AN to confirm the delivery of data packets in forward traffic channels
