INTRODUCTION

General Description

This chapter defines requirements for support of high speed packet data transmission capability on cdma2000® spread spectrum systems. Packet data transmission is supported on cdma2000® Traffic Channels using primary or secondary traffic. For packet data transmission using Service Option 33, the Radio Link Protocol Type 3 specified in C.S0017-0-2.10 is used.

This standard specifies a packet data bearer service for communication between terminal equipment and a packet data serving node (PDSN) via a base station/packet control function (BS/PCF).

Packet data service options provide a means of establishing and maintaining Traffic Channels for packet data service. Service Option 33 is used to request packet data service through a PDSN supporting an Internet standard Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) interface to network layer protocols (see 4.1). Additional packet data service options may be defined in future revisions to select other types of PDSN resources or services.
