Interoperability Specification (IOS) for cdma2000 Access Network Interfaces – Part 4: A1, A1p, A2 and A5 Interfaces
Published By | Publication Date | Number of Pages |
TIA | 2014 | 546 |
Scope
This standard provides the specification for the interface which
coincides with the Reference Point "A" defined in the TR45 Network
Reference Model shown in [I-2] and with Reference point 48 as
defined in the Network Reference Model shown in [25]. The scope of
this standard includes the following topics:
-
Descriptions of the specified
functional capabilities that provide wireless telecommunications
services across the A1 interface as defined in the TR45 Network
Reference Model, -
Descriptions of the division of
responsibility of the functions provided between the BS and the
MSC, without prescribing specific implementations, -
Descriptions of the A1 interface
standard that support DS-41 [7] and cdma2000®
systems, -
Descriptions of the specified
functional capabilities that provide circuit-services across the
packet transport based MSCe-BS (A1p) and MGW-BS (A2p) interfaces
defined in the Network Reference Model shown in [25]. It should be
noted that, for given call, the transcoder may or may not be in the
MGW or BS. This protocol definition is not limited by the location
or existence of the transcoder in the bearer path, -
Descriptions of the division of
responsibility of the functions provided between th1 e 2 BS and the
MSCe and MGW without prescribing specific
implementations.

Purpose
The purpose of this document is to provide a standard for
interfacing a MSC with one or more Base Stations (BSs). In
addition, this standard provides for interfacing a Mobile Switching
Center Emulation (MSCe) and a MGW to one or more BSs. This document
defines the functional capabilities, including services and
features, of the specified interface. These services and features
are the defining characteristics that are the basis for the overall
system standard.
