TIA TIA-707-A-4

Abstract

<strong>General Description</strong> <br>This document specifies procedures for Radio Link Protocol Type 3. Radio Link Protocol Type 3 is used with a cdma2000 Traffic Channel to support CDMA data services. For the remainder of this chapter, Radio Link Protocol Type 3 shall be called RLP. <br>RLP provides an octet stream transport service over forward and reverse traffic channels. RLP is unaware of higher layer framing; it operates on a featureless octet stream, delivering the octets in the order received. <br>RLP has procedures to substantially reduce the error rate exhibited by CDMA traffic channels. There is no direct relationship between higher layer packets and the underlying traffic channel frames; a large packet may span multiple traffic channel frames, or a single traffic channel frame may contain all or part of several small higher layer packets. <br>Section 2 is a general description of RLP that defines its use by any service option for which it is suited. Section 3 defines the RLP procedures for encrypted or non-encrypted applications. Section 4 defines the RLP frame formats. <br>Some features require capabilities first available in cdma2000 Release A (see [10]). cdma2000 systems supporting only [1] do not support the following: <br>&#8226; Radio Configurations greater than 5. <br>&#8226; Multiplex options 0x704 and 0xf20. <br>&#8226; Variable Length Frame Mode (VLF).
