IP-RAN deployment steps, with pointers to the
appropriate Airvana Release 2.0 guide documenting
each step.
Airvana IP-RAN RF and 1xEV-DO Planning Guide Provides a comprehensive understanding of the Airvana
IP-RAN planning process, identifying the information a
qualified network engineer needs to design the radio
frequency (RF) portion of a new IP-RAN to meet an
operator’s service quality, coverage, and capacity
requirements. This information enables the network
engineer to determine cell site locations and the number
of carriers each cell site requires.
Additionally, identifies the information a qualified
network engineer needs to design the 1xEV-DO portion
of a new IP-RAN, focusing on how to:
• Determine the number of IP-RNC 8500s required to
support the IP-RN 8000s
• Associate IP-RN 8000s with IP-RNC 8500s
• Implement fault tolerance in the IP-RAN
• Configure the PDSN
• Configure any AN-AAAs on the IP-RAN
• Overlay an IP-RAN on a cdma-2000 network
Airvana IP-RAN Network Planning Guide Provides a comprehensive understanding of the IP
planning portion of designing a new IP-RAN. Discusses
IP address/subnet design and network element IP
requirements, as well as load balancing and static route/
RIP recommendations. Includes a chapter on AirVista
Management System planning, including remote-access
options and fault-tolerance planning.
