Pi

The E interface carries user signaling information between

the MSC/VLR and GMSC.

The Pi interface connects the FA and the HA to the external

Packet Data Network such as Internet, Intranet and Extranet.

The P1 interface carries signaling information related to

terminal authentication for data session initiation, between
the Session Control (SC)/Mobility Management (MM)
functions in the Home AAA and Visited AAA (Authentication,
Athorization and Accounting entities for CDMA2000 1x)
and the HA and FA respectively.

The P-H interface carries Mobile IP/user application data

between the Home Agent (HA) and the Foreign Agent (FA).

The A11 interface carries signaling information between

the PCF and the PDSN.

The A10 interface carries user traffic between the PCF

and the PDSN.

The A9 interface carries signaling information between

the BS and the PCF.

The A8 interface causer traffic between

the BS and the PCF.

The A7 interface carries signaling information between

a source BS and a target BS.

The A5 interface carries a full duplex stream of bytes

between the MSC and the SDU function of the BSC.

The A3 interface carries coded user information

(voice/data) and signaling information between the
source BS SDU function and the channel element
component (BTS) of the target BS. This is a logical
description of the endpoints of the A3 interface. The
A3 interface is composed of two parts: signaling and
user traffic. The signaling information is carried across
a separate logical channel from the user traffic channel,
and controls the allocation and use of channels for
transporting user traffic.

OC3 digital transmission interfaces supporting

transmission rates of 155.52 Mbps.

T3 digital transmission interfaces supporting transmission

rates of 43.232 Mbps.

E1 digital transmission interfaces consisting of 30*64

Kbps user channels can also be used for traffic or signaling.
As the operator requires, and as applicable to the network.
As a BS/MSC agreed option, dedicated DSO signaling
link(s) may be used instead of the T1/E1 interface.

T1 digital transmission system interfaces. Each 1.544 Mbps

interface provides 24*56 or 24*64 Kbps channels, which
can be used for traffic or signaling as operator requires.

The A8 to A15 interfaces are based on the use of the Internet

Protocol, which can operate across various physical layer media
(generally, Ethernet Fast LAN or GbE).

The A1, A2, A3, A5 and A7 interfaces are based on the use of:

The A2 interface carries 64/56 Kbps PCM information

of 64 Kbps Unrestricted Digital Information (UDI, for
ISDN) between the Switch component of the MSC and
the Selection/Distribution Unit (SDU) function of the BS.

The C interface carries user signaling information between

the MSC/VLR and HLR.

A2

The A1 interface carries signaling information between

the Call Control (CC) and Mobility Management (MM)
functions of the MSC and the Call Control component
of the BS (BSC).
