Abstract

This paper explores enhancements to the MSE (mobile subscriber equipment) mobile services by adding commercial CDMA cellular terminals (based on the IS-95 standard), base stations and mobile telephone switching offices (MTSO). Three alternative architectures for distributed cellular control of IS-95 CDMA were compared in terms of cost and MSE network utilization. The three alternatives are: 1) remoted MTSO; 2) hybrid MTSO; and 3) fully distributed MTSO. Network performance for each of these alternatives was modeled using COMNET III. Each architecture approach was also demonstrated in a laboratory environment
