1. IntroductionThis paper explains how Verizon Wireless private network solutions can be deployed using the Verizon Wireless

CDMA2000 1xRTT and EV-DO networks. The ollowing private networkrelated areas are described:

CDMA2000 1xRTT, EV-DO, and Long Term Evolution (LTE) technology

Enhancements that Verizon Wireless oers on its network

Options available to customers using private networks

This paper begins with an overview o CDMA2000 1xRTT and EV-DO technology that provides sucient inormation

or any reader who simply wants a high-level understanding o a CDMA network. The paper will then explore in detail

the Verizon Wireless private network solutions that use the network, and available customer options.

1.1 Audience

This paper has been developed or Open Development wholesale resellers, enterprise customers, IT administrators,

decision makers, and other personnel. It is assumed that the reader has an understanding o CDMA2000 1xRTT and

EV-DO technology and some understanding o computer and network concepts.

2. CDMA2000 1xRTT and EV-DO Network and Technology Overview

Over time, more and more demands have been made on the capabilities o corporate networks. Workers want more

mobility, high-speed access, and an extension o applications across the enterprise, all o which can strain current

IT capabilities.

Verizon Wireless understands these demands and has constantly improved its mobile data network to oer increased

mobility, access, and applications. This process is ongoing, but it pays to see whats happened beore to gain a greater

appreciation o the capabilities o todays mobile data network.

Early second-generation (2G) CDMA-based wireless networks have proved their eectiveness in delivering high-

quality voice trac to subscribers. These early 2G networks were known as cdmaOne or IS-95 ater the interim

standard that defned cdmaOne.

Shortly thereater, voice users wanted basic data services, which prompted the various industry players to join together

to meet this demand. A set o global wireless data standards and specifcations was developed to defne the methods

and techniques required to oer circuit-switched data services to subscribers. These methods and standards ormed

the basis or third-generation (3G) wireless communication and are defned by a set o independent International

Telecommunications Union (ITU) recommendations. These ITU recommendations or CDMA networks are collectively

known as the International Mobile Telecommunications-2000 (IMT-2000) standards ramework.

In 2000, the IMT-2000 standards ramework was implemented on a CDMA wireless network, becoming the very frst

commercially available, 3G circuit-switched data service to be deployed based on these global standards. On CDMA

networks, these 3G data services are typically reerred to as CDMA2000 or IS-2000.

The CDMA2000 wireless air interace standard is known by many terms, including: 1x, 1xRTT, IS-2000, CDMA2000 1x,

and CDMA2000. The designation 1xRTT is requently used to identiy the version o CDMA2000 radio technology that

operates over 1.25-MHz radio channels (one times 1.25 MHz).


4/22

The frst phase o CDMA2000 is called 1xRTT. 1xRTT provides maximum theoretical data rates o 144 Kbps (downlink)

and 144 Kbps (uplink), as well as twice the voice capacity on a single 1.25-MHz CDMA channel. Subsequent phases

o CDMA2000 post-1xRTT introduced EV-DO Rev. 0 and Rev. A, with much higher throughput speeds. 1xRTT is

commonly reerred to within the industry as being a 2.5G technology. EV-DO Rev. 0/Rev. A. are 3G technologies.

Typical average download speeds or Rev. A are 600 Kbps to 1.4 Mbps and typical average uplink speeds are

500 Kbps.1

As new technologies emerge or wireless communications, Verizon Wireless is studying and considering these

technologies and continuing to improve its ability to oer more mobility, more secure network access, and extended

applications. One o these new technologies, LTE, will orm the basis or the ourth-generation (4G) Verizon Wirelessnetwork. 4G networks are comprehensive IP solutions that deliver voice, data, and multimedia content to mobile users

anytime and almost anywhere. 4G technology standards oer greatly improved data rates over previous generations

o wireless technology. Faster wireless broadband connections enable wireless carriers to support higher-level data

services, including business applications, streamed audio and video, video messaging, video telephony, mobile TV,

and gaming.

1 Speeds require an EV-DO Rev. Acapable device. When using an EV-DO device that is not Rev. Acapable or traveling in the Extended BroadbandServices Rate and Coverage Area, you can expect download speeds o 400 to 700 Kbps and upload speeds o 60 to 80 Kbps. Mobile Broadbandspeed claims based on our network tests with 5 MB FTP data fles, without compression. VzAccess Manager will indicate when youre in an EV-DORev. A coverage area. Outside the Mobile Broadband Rate and Coverage Area, the Nationalacce network allows connections at typical speeds o60 to 80 Kbps, based on our network tests with 101 KB FTP dataless. Actual speeds and coverage may vary.

2.1 Mobile Stations

In a typical network setup, most users experience a data network through their handhelds or through modems and

data cards in their notebook computers. However, it will become increasingly common to have wireless routers

supporting the access needs o enterprises. This is the subscribers point o entry or mobility, network access, and

enterprise-wide applications or using corporate data. In terms o the network, handhelds or modems are the mobile

stations that unction as a mobile IP client in a CDMA2000 1x and EV-DO network. Mobile stations consist o a radio,baseband processor, and a general-purpose processor or interacing to the handset user or to a hosting computer.

The mobile station radio and baseband processor interact with the radio access network (RAN) to obtain radio

resources in order to exchange packet data. The mobile station tracks radio resource status states such as active,

standby, and dormant. The mobile station also accepts packets rom the hosting computer when radio resources are

not available or cannot support data ow to the network.

2.2 Radio Access Network

The RAN is the subscribers entry point into the mobile network. Its here that the Verizon Wireless mobile data

network diers rom a typical network setup. This part o the mobile network is responsible or delivering packet

services or 1xRTT and 1xEV-DO connections, making it possible or users to expand their mobility, enjoy better

access, and deploy enterprise-wide applications.

The RAN maps the mobile station to a unique link layer used to communicate with the Packet Data Serving

Node (PDSN) in the core o the network. The RAN must validate the mobile station or service and maintain the

communications link between the mobile station and the network core. The RAN acilitates security by allowing only

authorized mobile stations to access the core network. The RAN comprises the ollowing key elements:

Be trceiver sio

The base transceiver station (BTS) is physically composed o antennas, towers, and sophisticated electronics. These all

work together to control the airlink and act as the interace between the network and mobile stations.

Radio resources are also managed by the BTS. Radio resources include the radio requency and channel assignment

or each mobile station, the power level o transmit and receive signals, antenna sector assignments, and

signal separation.

The BTS manages back-haul connections to the base station controller (BSC) in order to minimize redundant trac

and trac delays. The communications protocols used between the BTS and BSC are proprietary.

Be sio Coroer

The BSC acts as a link or voice and packet-switched data messages between multiple BTS units. The BSC is also

responsible or mobility management and handos between BTS units that are within its domain. It handles the

overall call control process. The BSC connects to the core o the network using connectivity options that vary

depending on whether it is voice, data, or signaling inormation.

Pcke Coro Fucio

The packet control unction (PCF) routes IP packets between the mobile stations connected to its associated BTS

units and PDSN. The PCF maintains the connection state between the radio access network and the mobile stations.

This connection state ensures an active path or packet data, buers packets when radio resources are not available,

and relays packets between the mobile stations and the PDSN.

2.3 Core Network

The role o the core network is to act as the gateway between the radio access network and the public or private

networks that will handle the packet data. It provides connectivity authentication, authorization, and accounting

(AAA) services, acts as the gatekeeper or access to hosted and other network services, and manages IP addresses.

These unctions contribute to the overall ability o the network to oer users mobility and secure access, and to

extend applications across the enterprise.

The core network comprises the ollowing key elements:

Pcke D servig node

The PDSN services the radio access network and acts as the primary gateway into the public or private network,

granting users secure access to network data and applications.

The PDSN manages the interace between the BSC and BTS, and the IP network by establishing and terminating the

mobile client link layers. The PDSN terminates mobile station Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) services or the mobile

stations it services. It provides IP services or the mobile stations based on the services requested and authorized.


7/22

7

Each PDSN supports simple IP (SIP). When SIP services are provided to the mobile station, the PDSN acts as a stand-

alone network access server (NAS) and can provide SIP services to the mobile station. The PDSN authenticates users

locally, or it can orward authentication requests to the AAA server and home agent when users move rom one PDSN

to another support SIP.

The PDSN records packet billing inormation in coordination with the BSC and actively manages subscriber services

based on the device profle inormation it receives rom the services and AAA servers.

The PDSN routes packets to the external public or private networks or to the home agent (HA), which can be secured

via secure Generic Routing Encapsulation (GRE) tunnels.

3.8 IP Addressing Options

A static IP address is assigned to a computer by an Internet service provider (ISP) to be its permanent address on the

Internet. A static IP is required to run any ser vice or application that requires external access rom the Internet.

A dynamic IP is a temporary address assigned to a computer by an ISP only or the duration o an Internet, instant

messaging, or chat session. Once the user disconnects rom the Internet, the dynamic IP address goes back into the

IP address pool so it can be assigned to another user.

IP addressing options

Type o address Range

Dymic P Enables the home agent to assign arandom address rom a generallyavailable pool provided by enterprisecustomers to mobile endpoints.

Enterprise customers can speciy anydesired range o public or privateIP addresses that are assigned tomobile endpoints.

Private IP customers expect native routing and any-to-any-connectivity regardless o access method. Dynamic Mobile

Network Routing2 (DMNR) meets the customer need by providing bidirectional wireless data sessions without GRE

tunnels. Unsolicited trac to applications behind a wireless router is directed to the appropriate device because the

wireless routers LAN subnets are advertised into the Verizon Business Private IP cloud.

This allows or:

Reduced complexity, scalability concerns, cost, and management or customers.

Private enterprise networking. Dierent enterprises may use overlapping LAN subnets attached to theCPE routers.

3.11 Domain Name System

When customers subscribe to Verizon Wireless private network service, enterprise trac is passed to the customer

premises equipment (CPE) at the end o the data tunnel, so DNS requests must receive special attention.

There are two DNS options:

Option 1 is DNS with network address translation (NAT) by customer. Verizon Wireless orwards all DNS queries

toward the customer network and, with the use o NAT, customers can direct the queries to their proper

DNS servers. This requires that the ollowing DNS addresses are advertised back to Verizon Wireless via

BGP: 66.174.95.44 69.78.96.14 66.174.92.14.

Option 2 is DNS Redirect or Enterprise (DRE). This is the preerred solution. Verizon Wireless can redirect DNS

queries toward enterprise DNS servers via customer network. This minimizes the need to perorm any NAT

unctionality on the customer side and to advertise routes toward Verizon Wireless. The server assignment can

be made as primary/secondary and supports UDP- or TCP-based DNS. UDP is the common protocol used or

DNS. With both options, the wireless device would still display the Verizon Wireless DNS server IP address while

in-network and the roaming partners DNS IP address while roaming.

4.2 Connectivity Option Terminology

VPn coecio

A VPN is a private network that uses a public network such as the Internet to connect users or remote sites together

in a secure manner. VPN direct-connect solutions are extremely popular due to their low cost to deploy. Instead o

using a dedicated connection such as leased-line direct circuits, the VPN option uses tunnels routed over the Internet

rom the companys private network to the Verizon Wireless network operations center. VPN tunnels are terminated

by the Verizon Wireless VPN gateway.

This approach uses a businesss existing connection to the Internet and requires IPSec-compliant VPN gateway

equipment at the enterprise location. The Verizon Wireless VPN option secures the communication path between

the enterprise location and the Verizon Wireless network operations center. Unlike a client-to-server solution, it does

not secure the complete path rom the mobile device to the enterprises VPN gateway. However, a VPN solution does

not oer the typical reliability and controlled redundancy o leased-line direct connections.

Psec prooco

The Verizon Wireless VPN solution uses IPSec, an IETF standard protocol or TCP/IP trac security, to create a secure

tunnel between the enterprise and Verizon Wireless VPN gateways. IPSec protocols authenticate the host computer,

maintain data integrity, and encrypt data and shared keys. In IPSec tunnel mode, the entire IP packet is encrypted.

This does not mean that the connection between the enterprise and the client is encrypted, but that the connection

between the enterprise and the Verizon Wireless POP is encrypted.

G prooco

The GRE protocol is used in conjunction with Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) to create VPNs between clients

or between clients and servers.

sige-rme rey

Frame relay is a data connection method where the telecommunications connection is established using a permanent

virtual circuit (PVC). This PVC is a communications path that maps the physical circuit at the customer site to the

physical circuit at the Verizon Wireless site. Frame relay is a popular option because it oers guaranteed bandwidth

and accommodates spikes in trac when the demand or bandwidth suddenly increases. Frame-relay circuits are

available rom ractional T1 data rates starting at 56 Kbps and can approach DS-3 rates o 45 Mbps.

Divere-rme rey

To urther enhance network reliability, consider creating redundancy with a diverse-rame relay connection. Diverse

circuits are typically established between two geographically dierent locations and provide redundant connections

to redundant hardware (routers). Diverse-rame relay connectivity is popular when redundancy and durability o the

connection are desired.

Poi o poi, uc t1 direc

T1 direct telecommunication circuits are also available. An installation ee is typically associated with this type o

connection, based on the distance between the enterprise network and the closest Verizon Wireless POP. Fees are

also inuenced by local and long distance carrier rates or this service. This option is typically used when rame-

relay services are not available locally or when long distances are not required. DS-3 direct circuits are available to

customers on a case-by-case basis in certain areas.

Verio Buie Prive P (MPls)

The Verizon Business Private IP, or Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS), inrastructure puts all trac on a reliable

private network with QoS routing. Private IP Layer 3 allows businesses to build a hybrid solution between their

public and private networks that helps enable automated business processes, such as e-commerce, VoIP, converged

solutions, and shared intranets and extranets. The Verizon Business solution helps businesses streamline their

network management, planning, and expansion. In addition, the MPLS network allows businesses to prioritizetrac (voice, video, and data), while consolidating the trac onto a single network. This ability gives businesses the

additional exibility they need to dictate how their trac is handled across the network, giving priority to mission-

critical trac as needed.

The Verizon Business MPLS network provides a set o tools that gives businesses visibility into their IP networks

and helps to improve application perormance. These tools include advanced network assessment, reporting,

dynamic bandwidth, and packet-marking tools, which allow businesses to fne-tune their networks to help improve

perormance and control costs.
