• Problem • Test process is essential to help ensure device performance and network availability • Time & cost to bring CDMA devices to market with traditional processes is excessive • CDMA devices are becoming more complex • Solution • A global standard process to certify CDMA devices quickly and affordably

“CCF is a critical step forward to bring competitively priced CDMA2000 devices to the marketplace.” Jane Zweig, CEO, The Shosteck Group, January 2006 Based on interviews with 40 CDMA2000 operators 19 All Contents Copyright 2005 CDMA Certification Forum – All Rights Reserved MissionMission

To create a streamlined global certification process to ensure CDMA2000 devices are adequately tested and ready for commercialization in an affordable and timely manner.

“The CDMA Certification Forum (CCF) is an essential industry effort to improve the availability, interoperability and affordability of CDMA2000 devices.” Perry LaForge, Founder, Executive Director & Chairman of the CDG

To define and maintain a global standard certification test plan to certify that CDMA2000 devices meet the requisite product conformance, network interoperability, and essential performance specifications that are dictated by international standards bodies.

• Evolve the existing CDG Test process to reduce device development costs and time-to-market • Certify all tiers of CDMA devices • Authorize certification labs around the world • Provide an affordable certification tool for service providers to accept mature CDMA devices from a larger variety of vendors

With CCF Test Process Expected Improvement + 40% Money - 75% - 80% Time Test Cases Time Test Cases Money

• Define an all inclusive test process for all devices • Operators will remain responsible for the testing their market- and operator-specific features & functions • Independently maintain test cases • Test cases will be maintained by other standards bodies • Mandate the use of test products or services • Requirement for CCF certification is determined by the operator • Certify technologies that are not mature • CCF addresses the certification of mature technologies and established features and functions

• CDMA Development Group (CDG): • CCF works closely with the CDG to improve product quality, reduce costs, accelerate time-to- market and improve the end-user experience • CDG Global Handset Requirements for CDMA (GHRC) define the features and functional requirements that drive the CCF test coverage • CCF is working with the CDG System Test Team (STT) to create a single and evolved test process • Observer board member of CCF (Separate legal entity) • 3GPP2: • CCF Test Plan points to 3GPP2 specifications & test cases • Member companies will submit test case contributions to 3GPP2 • Other Certification & Standards Bodies (GCF, OMA, CTIA, etc): • Certification bodies to recognize CCF certification as the foundation for market-specific device certifications • Working cooperatively to develop a common set of test solutions above the air-interface dependent layers

Based on input from operators and vendors, with references to 3GPP2 and other industry specifications and test cases

GHRC requirements drive CCF test coverage and offers a roadmap for the evolution of the CCF test process 26 All Contents Copyright 2005 CDMA Certification Forum – All Rights Reserved PhPhasease 22 ApplicationApplication EnablerEnabler LayerLayer CertificationCertification LeadingLeading MarketsMarkets

• Market forces drive competitive testing times and costs

• Automated testing provides shorter test times at a lower cost

• Conducting CCF-F over-the-air interoperability testing using commercial networks, rather than cabled interoperability labs, increases test capacity and eliminates long queues and test times 3rd party test labs • Use of network emulators reduces equipment overhead costs Handsets in queue 30 … All Contents Copyright 2005 CDMA Certification Forum – All Rights Reserved TestTest OverviewOverview

••CCF-Lab:CCF-Lab: • Perform the maximum set, supported by commercial test equipment, of tests specified in C.S0011, C.S0031, C.S0033, C.S0036, C.S0037, and C.S0038.

••CCF-Field:CCF-Field: • Perform, in an over-the-air environment, infrastructure–dependent interoperability test cases specified in C.S0058.

• MS transmits more than the required or less than the required power while transmitting probes. This may increases the call setup time and increase the FER due to higher noise density. Phone may act like a jammer when it is close to a BS.

• Failure to detect neighboring cell site pilots while in a call. This causes delayed or failed hand off and poor voice quality due to rapid degradation of the active pilot energy.

• Phone fails to demodulate the paging channel after wake-up in slotted mode. This is generally caused by poor link maintenance by the RF front end causing the phone to spend significant amount of time in system acquisition. Higher number of missed calls.

• Failure to transmit at the correct power level after hard handoff to a different frequency. Some phone or BS may take longer than the required time to complete this operation. Handoff failures or muted audio can be experienced.

• Insufficient Tx power at low temp or poor receiver sensitivity during vibration. This may cause a mobile to send access probes with insufficient power from the cell boundaries that may reduce the system capacity. Can also cause higher call drops while driving.

• High Message Error Rate in slotted mode operation. This may increase the rate of missed pages. • Traffic channel initialization failure during call setup. Preamble timings are off. This may cause higher call origination failures. • Non-compliant to access parameter message. This will cause more probes to be sent out from the phone for call setup. Poor stand by time / talk time. • Data services failures can cause loss of data during sending/receiving faxes or call setup failures between the computer and the access terminal. • 3 way handoff failures for fast rising pilots. May be caused due to miss-detection of the candidate set Ec/Io. • Timer based registration failures. Unnecessary pages to the mobile when it's outside of the network.

• High call drops in the test drive route due to higher erasures. Poor receiver or transmitter performance in radiated mode. • Call drops near a non-collocated interfering cell. Intermod problem. • Failure to perform handoff in dynamic RF conditions. • Subscriber calling features test such as 3-way calling, DTMF mailbox access, caller ID etc. SMS tests in dynamic RF environment can also cause incomplete message deliveries. • Failure to periodic reporting of erasures. This may cause the BS to operate at lower Eb/Io set-point and choppy forward link audio due to high erasures. • Pops or clicks during 13k to EVRC handoffs.
