General Description

This chapter defines requirements for support of high speed packet data transmission capability on cdma2000®¹ spread spectrum systems. Packet data transmission is supported on cdma2000 Traffic Channels using primary or secondary traffic. For packet data transmission on traffic channels using Service Option 33 or Service Option 66, the Radio Link Protocol Type 3 specified in C.S0017-0-2.10 is used.

This standard specifies a packet data bearer service for communication between terminal equipment and a packet data serving node (PDSN) via a base station/packet control function (BS/PCF).

Packet data service options provide a means of establishing and maintaining Traffic Channels for packet data service. Service Option 33 and Service Option 66 are used to request packet data service through a PDSN supporting an Internet standard Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) interface to network layer protocols (see 4.1). Additional packet data service options may be defined in future revisions to select other types of PDSN resources or services.
