System Description
1 System Overview
1-12
l
Layer 1 is the physical layer, i.e. the bottom layer. It includes various physical
channels, providing a basic radio channel for the transmission of higher layer
information.
l
Layer 2 is the data link layer, including Medium Access Control (MAC) sublayer
and Link Access Control (LAC) sublayer. The cdma2000 MAC sublayer
performs the mapping between logic channels and physical channels, and
providing Radio Link Protocol (RLP) function. The cdma2000 LAC sublayer
performs such functions as authentication, Automatic Repeat Request (ARQ),
addressing and packet organization.
l
Layer 3 is the top layer. It performs Radio Resource Management (RM),
Mobility Management (MM) and Connection Management (CM) through the air
interface.

2) Physical layer function
l
Service bearer: the physical channel in the physical layer provides bearer for
the logic channel of the higher layer.
l
Bit error check: the physical layer provides a transmission service with error
protection, including error checking and error correction.
l
User identification: the physical layer provides an exclusive ID for every user by
code division.
3) Radio configuration
The cdma2000 physical layer supports multiple Radio Configurations (RCs ).
Different RCs support different traffic channel data rates. For detailed introduction,
please refer to Section 4.5.4 Radio Configuration and Channel Support.
IV. Data link layer
Data link layer at Um interface includes two sublayers: MAC and LAC. The purpose
of introducing MAC and LAC is to:
l
Support higher level services (signaling, voice, packet data and circuit data).
l
Support data services of multiple rates.
l
Support packet data service and circuit data service of higher quality (QoS ).
