Performance Analysis of 3G-1X EVDO High Data Rate System
17 March 2002
The 3G-1X EVDO (Evolution Data Only) standard has been recently finalized by the 3GPP2 (3G Partnership Project 2) and published by the Tele Telecommunications Industry Association as IS-856 (Interim Standard). This system allows data rates of up to 2.4 Mbps in 1.25MHz bandwidth compatible with the frequency plan of second and third generation CDMA systems based on IS-95 and IS-2000. Expected to be launched throughout the world in the near future, this system is capable of substantially enhancing end-user wireless data experience by providing high speed "always on" connectivity in a wide area mobile environment.
