more features, and greater reliability. TheEricsson CMS 11 products that can be integratedfor this step include the IWF, HLR,WAP gateway, and AXE 10 CDMA switchingplatform, each of which will be commerciallyavailable before the end of 2000.Because these products make use of open interfaces,they can be integrated into anyCDMA network (Figure 5).Figure 5Step 2: Enhancing service offerings. New additions to the network are shown highlightedin blue.announced in February and will be commerciallyavailable during the second half ofthis year.BSCEricsson's CMS 11 BSC is a flexible and scalablepacket-based product. When designingthis product, engineers put special emphasison• the efficient handling of backhaul to andfrom base stations;• advanced power control—to improveCDMA air-link capacity; and• best-in-class processing of soft handoffs.The CMS 11 BSC is currently the only productin the industry that can supportcdmaOne packet-data services. It also has anintegrated interworking function that allowsoperators to offer voice and data servicesvia the same selector cards from the selectorbank subsystem (SBS.)Step 2: Increasing serviceofferingsService differentiation and reduced costs ofdelivering existing services are operators'primary requirements. Step 2 of Ericsson'smigration path introduces enhanced data,MSCAXE 10, which is one of the most acclaimed,highly reliable switches in the industry forwireless applications, is well configured fordelivering the services and features of tomorrow'slayered network architecture.Ericsson's feature-rich switching platformcan be installed by new customers or by existingcdmaOne operators who are interestedin replacing their current switching solution.The AXE will be IOS-compliant andcapable of supporting over 400,000 wirelesssubscribers. The CDMA version of theAXE 10 MSC will be available in mid-2000.IWFIn response to operator demands for greatercapacity, Ericsson will soon begin offeringan external interworking function for processingcdmaOne data calls through theMSC. The interworking function, whichwill be based on the Tigris platform 1 , caneasily be migrated to new standards forthird-generation systems. Ericsson's interworkingfunction will offer more than threetimes the capacity of the nearest competitor'sproduct.HLRTo maintain a strong and loyal subscriberbase, operators need new, high-value servicesthat target an increasingly segmentedend-user market. The open-interface Jambalaplatform 2 , which is Ericsson's next-generationapplication platform, facilitates thedelivery of industry-leading user featuresand introduces wireless intelligent networking(WIN) capabilities into CDMAsystems.Ericsson's CDMA HLR provides reliableoperations with zero downtime. Furthermore,in addition to (or instead of) servingas an HLR, this multi-application platformcan function as a service control point (SCP)or authentication center (AC). And becauseit supports Java and CORBA technology,the CDMA HLR also provides operatorswith an ideal service creation environment(SCE).62 Ericsson Review No. 2, 2000
WAP gatewayWAP-capable phones will become availableon the market in mid-2000. CDMA operatorswho want to offer WAP functionalitycan integrate Ericsson's CDMA WAP gateway.The WAP gateway system thus satisfiesoperator requirements for a server thatprovides standardized delivery of microbrowserInternet applications. Like theCDMA HLR, Ericsson's WAP gateway forCDMA is based on the Jambala platform.Step 3: Improved packethandling,Phase I 3GTo offer third-generation services, operatorswill have to invest in the access and core networksof their systems. Obviously, operatorswill be looking for solutions that are easy toadopt and provide a wide range of services.Initially, emphasis will be put on the introductionof high-speed mobile data services,multimedia services, and services that requirea guaranteed quality of service (QoS).End-users will expect to have access to servicesanywhere and at any time. Moreover,they will expect reliable, secure connectionsduring transmissions. Step 3 in Ericsson'ssolution for migrating cdmaOne systems tofuture third-generation systems begins withthe addition of a cdma2000 IX access networkand the introduction of new packetdataservices, mainly in the form of mobileIP (Figure 6).cdma2000 packet core networkDuring the first quarter of 2001, operatorswill be able to enhance interworking functionsfrom Ericsson with software and hardwarethat support the packet-handling capabilitiesdefined for third-generation systems.The interworking function will thusalso become a packet data service node(PDSN). Similarly, a new server can beadded for authentication, authorization andaccounting (AAA). Ericsson will also introducehome-agent infrastructure andhome/foreign-agent software to supportmobile IP functionality.Mobile IP, which gives data users seamlessmobility in and between CDMA networks,is the basis of the cdma2000 packetcore network (PCN). Based on the Internetstandard for mobility, mobile IP incorporateshome agents (HA) and foreign agents(FA) into the CDMA packet data equation.The cdma2000 packet core network also offersmechanisms for more secure data delivery.The PCN standards for cdma2000 areFigure 6Step 3: Phase I 3G wireless capabilities.being defined by the TR45.6 workinggroup within TIA.Because Ericsson's PCN solution is basedon open interfaces, it can easily be integratedinto any IOS-compliant cdma2000 infrastructure.The design of the cdma2000PCN draws on the know-how Ericssongained while developing its GPRS nodes forGSM and WCDMA systems. The EricssonPCN makes efficient use of available spectrumand alleviates the need to use MSCchannel resources when setting up data calls.cdma2000 1X-capable BSSOperators are demanding greater capacityfor voice and faster data solutions. Havinganticipated this development, Ericsson hasdesigned a BSS for cdma2000 IX. The BSS(BSC and multi-carrier macro-RBS) forthird-generation wireless network systemsis based on an ATM/IP platform—the sameplatform on which Ericsson bases itsWCDMA products.
