EIA/TIA-2001-E:2010

This standard provides the specification for the interfaces which coincide with the Reference Points 'A', 'Ater', 'Aquater', and 'Aquinter' defined in the TR45 Network Reference Model shown in [18]. The scope of this standard includes the following topics: -- MSC-BS and BS-BS interfaces: - descriptions of the specified functional capabilities that provide wireless telecommunications services across the MSC-BS and BS-BS interfaces asdefined in the TR45 Network Reference Model; - descriptions of the division of responsibility of the functions provided betweenthe BS and the MSC, and between the source BS and the target BS, withoutprescribing specific implementations; - descriptions of the MSC-BS interface and the BS-BS interface standards that support DS-41 and cdma2000® systems. -- BS-PCF interfaces: - descriptions of the specified functional capabilities that provide packet data services across the BS-PCF interface; - descriptions of the division of responsibility of the functions provided betweenthe BS and the PCF without prescribing specific implementations. -- PCF-PDSN interfaces: - descriptions of the specified functional capabilities that provide packet dataservices across the PCF-PDSN interface; - descriptions of the division of responsibility of the functions provided betweenthe PCF and the PDSN without prescribing specific implementations.The interfaces defined in this standard are specified by a set of characteristics, including: -- physical and electromagnetic parameters; -- channel structures; -- message types and contents; -- network operating procedures; -- user data framing and transport.
