  3. What is CDPD? • CDPD (Cellular Digital Packet Data) is a specification for supporting wireless access to the Internet and other public packet-switched networks. Cellular telephone and modem providers that offer CDPD support make it possible for mobile users to get access to the Internet at up to 19.2 Kbps . • CDPD support both IP and CLNP (Connectionless Network Protocol)

  4. CDPD Overview

  5. Overview – Elements of CDPD • M-ES consists: - mobile terminal (PC, PDA, etc) - CDPD radio modem attached to the mobile terminal and manages the radio link and protocols • IS (Intermediate Systems) are two types: - generic IS: simple router without knowledge of CDPD and mobility issues - MD-IS: mobile data IS is a specialized IS that provides switching, accounting, registration, authentication, encryption, and mobility management functions

  6. Overview – Elements of CDPD • MDBS-mobile data base stations: - passes data between M-ESs and MD-IS and does not perform networking functions - creates and manages the air interface the M-ESs and the CDPD backbone.

  7. The Physical Layer in CDPD • The Physical Layer in CDPD is a functional entity that accepts a sequence of bits from the Medium Access Control (MAC) layer and transforms them into a modulated waveform onto a physical 30kHz RF channel • Communication between an MDBS and a M-ES take place over a pair of RF channels - “forward” and “reverse” channels. • The forward channel accommodates transmissions from the MDBS to M-ESs. • The reverse channel accommodates transmissions from the M-ESs to MDBS. Thereverse channel is shared among all M-ESs communicating with the same MDBS.

  8. The Physical Layer in CDPD • The physical layer communicates with Radio Resource Management Entity, which tunes the physical layer to a specific RF channel pair, sets the transmission power level to a desired level, measures the received signal level of an RF channel and estimates its potential to offer acceptable communication.

  9. Medium Access Control (MAC) • MAC is a functional entity logically operating between the physical layer and link layer control • Purpose of MAC: to transport information (link protocol data units - LPDU) between peer link layer control entities across the CDPD air interface. • MAC provides the following services: - encapsulates LPDUs into frame structures to establish the LPDU boundaries - encodes LPDUs to provide error protection - detects and corrects bit errors within received frames

  11. Reverse Link Structure

  12. Medium Access Procedure • An M-ES can access the reverse channel using digital sense multiple access with collision detection (DSMA/CD) algorithm. • DSMS/CD make use of two flags: - busy/idle flag is a 5-bit sequence transmitted on the forward channel once every 60 bits, providing binary info whether the reverse channel is busy/idle. - decode status flag is a 5-bit sequence indicating whether the MDBS has decoded the preceding block. On successful decoding (no decoding errers) the flag is 00000, on unsuccessful decoding 11111.

  13. Medium Access Procedure • Assume M-ES wants to transmit data. It first senses the busy/idle flag, which needs to be idle so transition can take place. If the channel is found busy, the E-MS waits a random number of seconds and than repeats the sensing of the flag. • After an M-ES has started a transmission, it checks the decode status flag in every forward channel back it receives and resumes or suspends transmission depending on the value of this flag.

  14. Logical Link Control (LLC) • The purpose of the LLC layer is to transport information between network layer entities across the CDPD air interface. • Data links connection may be either point-to-point or broadcast. - point-to-point data links are used to transport info between single M-ES and it’s serving MD-IS. - broadcast data links are used for point-to-multipoint or multipoint-to-multipoint communications on a CDPD channel stream.

  15. Logical Link Control (LLC) • There are two operation modes for information transfer within a data link connection: - unacknowledged mode is used for information transfer on a broadcast channel, which makes transmission unreliable (no error or flow control mechanisms are used). - acknowledged mode is used for information transfer on a point-to-point data link channel. This channel also supports unacknowledged mode for information transfer.
