About this documentAbout this document
Purpose
This information product gives you a high-level tour of the Alcatel-Lucent 3G1X and
1xEV-DO Network and of all the network elements in this network. From here on in this
document, the Alcatel-Lucent 3G1X and 1xEV-DO Network will be called the 3G1X and
1xEV-DO Network.
After reading this book you should be able to:
Describe the 3G1X and 1xEV-DO Network
Identify the network elements that make up the 3G1X and 1xEV-DO Network
State the functionality of each network element
State where to find information on the protocols and physical connections between all
network elements in the 3G1X and 1xEV-DO Network
Scope
This document is a high-level introduction to the 3G1X and 1xEV-DO Network. In-depth
descriptions of individual components of network elements are not included here. For
readers who need more detailed information, references to related customer documents
are given throughout the document.

(NAR only)
These features support the MMCv4/Packet Switch
SCTP/IP/Ethernet connection. The SCTP/IP/Ethernet
connection is needed because with the MMCv4 there is no
SS7 F-link between the Access Manager and the Packet
Switch, as there is with earlier Access Managers.

2 2Network architecture
Overview
Purpose
This document describes the Alcatel-Lucent 3G1X and 1xEV-DO Network, the network
elements that make up that network, and the service-specific networks within the 3G1X
and 1xEV-DO Network.
One network
Alcatel-Lucent has one Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) wireless network, the
Alcatel-Lucent 3G1X and 1xEV-DO Network, hereafter called the 3G1X and 1xEV-DO
Network. The 3G1X and 1xEV-DO Network is described in this document.
Many network elements
Many network elements are described in this document. All the network elements
described in this document belong to the 3G1X and 1xEV-DO Network.
Multiple services
To meet the growing and diversified needs of wireless customers, Alcatel-Lucent has
enriched its CDMAwireless network by offering a variety of wireless services, including
packet voice and packet data services. Though the 3G1X and 1xEV-DO Network remains
one physical network, the network can be configured to provide many different services.
This is done by creating service-specific networks within the 3G1X and 1xEV-DO
Network.
What is a service-specific network?
A service-specific network is a set of network elements of the 3G1X and 1xEV-DO
Network that have been configured to provide a specific service. All Alcatel-Lucent
service-specific networks described in this document, however, are still CDMA-based
and are still part of the 3G1X and 1xEV-DO Network.

What is a network element?
A network element (NE) is a unique entity within the network. Each NE consists of
multiple physical and logical resources, which can be configured and monitored
separately, or as a group. For example, a single base station would be considered a
network element.
Shared network elements
The service-specific networks use a variety of network elements. Some network elements,
such as base stations, are shared between all the service-specific networks. Other network
elements are only used by one service-specific network. Other network elements are used
by several service-specific networks.
Regardless of whether the network elements are shared between service-specific networks
or not, all of the network elements presented in this document are part of the 3G1X and
1xEV-DO Network.
Benefits of the service-specific network approach
The use of service-specific networks within one physical network provides the following
benefits for the service provider:
The sharing of network elements between Alcatel-Lucent service-specific networks
reduces capital expenses for the service provider.
The use of common OA&M platforms reduces the cost of training and saves time that
would be spent in learning new user interfaces.
Purpose of this chapter
This chapter describes the functions of a wireless network, gives a basic description of a
wireless network, and then provides an overview of the service-specific networks within
the 3G1X and 1xEV-DO Network.
Purpose of this document
The rest of this document gives an overview of the many network elements provided by
Alcatel-Lucent that work together to make these service-specific networks possible.
