APPROVAL Name: Jeffrey Lai Degree: Master of Engineering Title of Project: How to Evaluate Field Performance of a CDMA2000 Handset Examining Committee: Chair: Dr. Glenn Chapman Professor School of Engineering Science Simon Fraser University Dr. Ljiljana Trajkovic Senior Supervisor Associate Professor School of Engineering Science Simon Fraser University Dr. Steve Hardy Supervisor Professor School of Engineering Science Simon Fraser University Mr. Aries Wong External Examiner Project Manager – Hardware Design Nokia Mobile Phones Vancouver Date Approved: ii ABSTRACT With the ever-increasing demand of high-speed wireless data from the mobile users in North America, a wide range of Third Generation (3G) Code Division Multiple Access 2000 (CDMA2000) mobile phones will be launched. It is important that all CDMA2000 mobile stations go through a well defined, complete, and thorough test before launching out into the market. One critical test activity for this purpose is field test. The goal of this project is to discuss the importance of field test activities, to demonstrate the evaluation of CDMA2000 mobile phone field performance, to implement four field test cases for verifying the CDMA2000 voice service, and, finally, to execute the field test cases. We analyze the four field test cases, and illustrate the methodology of test case design for the research and development (R&D) field test. In this project, we introduce the CDMA technology and the added benefits provided by the 3G CDMA2000. We discuss the testing methodology within a software engineering model, and differentiate the field test from other testing activities. We also show that field test is an important and high priority task in R&D projects. It is mandatory to include field test in any handset development project. We elaborate on the details of field test activities, which include test planning, test tools application, test sites selection, test case design, and test results analysis. We illustrate the typical field test analysis required for the R&D iii field test. In particular, the R&D field test results confirm that the message flow complies with the IS-2000.5 Rev.0 Upper Layer (L3) Signaling Standard [1]. iv DEDICATION This project is dedicated to my coworkers and supervisors who have worked with me for the past few years, to the companies that I have worked for and their sponsorship of my Master degree, and to my family and friends who have encouraged me for pursuing my degree. v ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to thank my senior supervisor, Dr. Ljiljana Trajkovic, for being my advisor, and for her continuous support, guidance, and supervision. Thank you to those who have supported and encouraged me, especially to those who have introduced me to the R&D testing, and CDMA technology. I would like to thank Dr. Glenn Chapman, Dr. Stephen Hardy, and Mr. Aries Wong for serving on the examining committees for my M.Eng. project. Last, but not least, I would like to thank all the professors whose classes I attended, at both SFU and UBC. vi TABLE OF CONTENTS Approval.................................................................................................ii Abstract ................................................................................................iii Dedication...............................................................................................v Acknowledgements.................................................................................vi Table of Contents..................................................................................vii List of Figures....................................................................................... ix List of Tables......................................................................................... xi Acronyms and Abbreviations................................................................ xii 1.

  • Current Spectrum Availability and Requirement (I) Should the 450 Mhz Or Any Other Band Be Utilised Particularly To
    Chapter 2: Current spectrum availability and requirement (i) Should the 450 MHz or any other band be utilised particularly to meet the spectrum requirement of service providers using CDMA technology? The present inadequacy of the spectrum in 800 MHz frequency band for CDMA operators has been clearly brought out in the consultation paper which states “ there is no path available for provisioning more than the currently allocated/ committed amount of 2x5 MHz to four service providers”. We would like to point out that even 5 MHz is not available for allocation and only 14 carriers are available which is totally inadequate to meet even the current needs of CDMA operators, let alone the future requirements. We need initially at least 10+10 MHz progressively increasing to 20+20 MHz with an average of 15+15 MHz. The consultation paper mentions in Para 5.4 regarding allocation of spectrum to service providers “ For allocating spectrum to the existing service providers, it is imperative to keep in mind the availability of equipment in the bands proposed to be allocated so as to take advantage of the economies of scale” Keeping this in view and considering the availability of handsets and equipments, we would recommend the utilization of North American PCS band viz 1850-1910 MHz paired with 1930-1990 MHz in India. The PCS frequency band pairing is used in many countries as shown in Appendix 1. The reasons why other frequency bands cannot be used for CDMA operations are enumerated below: It is to be noted that ?? It can be seen from Appendix 2, CDMA technology uses in all countries except Korea the frequency bands either in 1) 800 MHz or PCS 1900 MHz bands or 2) the 800 MHz and PCS 1900 MHz bands and certain countries utilizing CDMA at 450 MHz.
