Why the name 1x-EV-DO
• When users transmit data, data packets will be sent from wireless device
through air interface towards BTS. Data packets then forwarded to BSC.
BSC will forward data to PCF, who will forward it to PSDN.
• For receiving data, data packets for users will be prepared in the provider’s
IP network then forwarded by PDSN to PCF/BSC
• Cell site, towers, antenna share carrier frequency between 1x and 1xEV-
DO.
• 1xEV-DO can reach peak rate 2.4Mbps on forward link (from BS to device),
and 153.6 Kbps on reverse link (from device to BS)

IS-2000
This version was released in 2000 which introduced the EV-DO technology in
CDMA.
Datarate:
EV-DO allowed data rates of up to 2.4 Mbps on forward link [download speed]
and 154 Kbps reverse link [upload speed].
Features:
•It supports all IP network.
•It allows high data rates when compared to CDMA1X.
Services:
•http [ internet browsing].
•Voice on Demand.
•Movies on Demand.
Rel 0 forward link channel structure
• The reverse link (from the mobile back to the Base Transceiver Station) on
EVDO Rev. 0 operates very similar to that of 3G1X CDMA. The channel
includes a reverse link pilot (helps with decoding the signal) along with the
user data channels. Some additional channels that do not exist in 3G1X
include the DRC channel (described above) and the ACK channel (used for
HARQ). Missing from the reverse link is any sort of Power control, because
the forward link is always transmitted at full power for use by all the mobiles.
• All of the reverse link channels are combined using code division and
transmitted back to the base station using QPSK where they are decoded.
The maximum speed available for user data is 153.2 kbps, but in real-life
conditions this is rarely achieved. Typical speeds achieved are between 20-
50 kbps.
Rev A
• In addition to the changes on the forward link, the reverse link was
enhanced to support higher complexity modulation (and thus higher
bit rates).
