1 Preface
The operation of the R&S CMW is described in several user manuals:
●The R&S CMW user manual describes the base software, common features of the
firmware applications and basic principles for manual operation and remote control.
●Additional user manuals, like this document, describe the firmware applications.
Rohde & Schwarz provides registered users a "CMW Customer Web" section on
GLORIS, the Global Rohde & Schwarz Information System: https://extranet.rohde-
schwarz.com. From this resource you can download software updates, waveform
library updates and documentation updates, e.g. updates of this document.
1.1 How to Read Firmware Application Chapters
Each firmware application is described in a separate chapter. These chapters can be
read independently of each other. However, they are all organized as follows:
1. General Description
2. Application Sheets (optional)
3. GUI Reference
4. Programming Examples
5. Command Reference
The chapters "System Overview" and "Remote Control" in the R&S CMW user manual
provide additional important information independent of the individual firmware applica-
tions. The most important parts are referenced by the firmware application descrip-
tions.
1.1.1 General Description
This section provides a general description of the firmware application, independent of
a specific operation mode (manual or remote control). It gives a high-level introduction
to the capabilities of the firmware application. Background information related to the
network standard is given as far as it is directly related to administrable parameters.
For measurement applications a detailed description of measurement results and a
description of configurable limits is given, including the relation to conformance require-
ments defined in network standard specifications.

Preface
R&S®CMW-KG8xx/-KM8xx/-KS8xx
12User Manual 1173.9511.02 ─ 11
1.1.2 Application Sheets
This optional section provides short application examples for select issues and related
background information.
1.1.3 GUI Reference
The GUI reference describes the manual operation of the firmware application via the
Graphical User Interface (GUI).
The description of a configuration dialog usually starts with a screenshot presenting the
preset values of the parameters (sometimes preset values are modified to enable hid-
den parts of a dialog). Below the screenshot all shown parameters are described. For
each single parameter a link to the corresponding command description in the "Com-
mand Reference" is provided. Ranges for numeric parameters and reset values are
given there.
For measurement results links to the corresponding command descriptions are provi-
ded (commands to retrieve the results). The measurement results are described in
detail in the "General Description".
1.1.4 Programming Examples
The programming examples show how to control and configure the firmware applica-
tion via a remote-control program and how to retrieve measurement results. The exam-
ples consist of comprehensive command sequences. You can check just a single com-
mand of a sequence to get an example for the syntax of this single command. But you
can also consider an entire sequence showing the commands in the context of a com-
mand script, under consideration of dependencies and required orders of the com-
mands.
The command sequences are written with the intention to list most commands of the
firmware application. They do not show the fastest way for a given configuration task.
The fastest way would use many reset values and omit the corresponding commands.
The examples are referenced by the command descriptions of the "Command Refer-
ence".
1.1.5 Command Reference
The command reference provides information on the remote commands of the firm-
ware application. The commands are grouped according to their function.
Each command description indicates the syntax of the command header and of the
parameters. For input parameters the allowed ranges, reset values and default units
are listed, for returned values the expected ranges and default units. Most commands
have a command form and a query form. Exceptions are marked by "Setting only",
"Query only" or "Event". Furthermore a link to the "Programming Examples" is provided
and the first software version supporting the command is indicated.

1xEV-DO Signaling
R&S®CMW-KG8xx/-KM8xx/-KS8xx
13User Manual 1173.9511.02 ─ 11
2 1xEV-DO Signaling
With the "1xEV-DO Rev. 0 / A, basic signaling" application (option R&S CMW-KS880),
the R&S CMW can emulate a single-carrier 1xEV-DO Access Network (AN) transmit-
ting a 1xEV-DO forward signal to which the 1xEV-DO Access Terminal (AT) under test
can synchronize. The R&S CMW also provides the necessary higher-layer protocol
functions so that the AT can perform a location update in order to establish connectiv-
ity.
The basic signaling functionality of R&S CMW-KS880 can be extended by the following
options:
●"R&S CMW-KS881: 1xEV-DO Rev. B, basic signaling" that adds support for Rev. B
(multi-carrier 1xEV-DO)
●"R&S CMW-KS888: CDMA2000® hybrid mode, generic signaling" that adds sup-
port for 1xEV-DO/1xRTT hybrid network setups
●"R&S CMW-KS890: 1xEV-DO Rev. 0 / A, adv. signaling" that allows advanced sig-
naling configuration.
●R&S CMW-KE100 and R&S CMW-KE800 that enable internal fading (fader I/Q
board also required).
Most tests can be performed using the 1xEV-DO "Multi Evaluation" measurement
(included in option R&S CMW-KM880). Data transfer tests can be performed using the
Data Application Unit (DAU, option R&S CMW-B450x and R&S CMW-KM050).
Additional measurements on both forward and reverse link are provided by the 1xEV-
DO signaling application.
For details of the RX measurements refer to:
●Forward Link Packet Error Rate Measurement
●Reverse Link Packet Error Rate Measurement
●Forward Link Throughput Measurement
●Reverse Link Throughput Measurement
●RLP and IP Statistics
2.1 What's New in this Revision

2.2.1.1 Test Setup for Standard Cell Scenario
The AT under test can be connected to one of the bidirectional RF connectors (e.g. RF
1 COM or RF 2 COM) at the front panel of the R&S CMW. No additional cabling and
no external trigger is needed. The input level ranges of all RF COM connectors are
identical.
The bidirectional RF connection between the tester and the DUT carries both the for-
ward and the reverse signal:
●The R&S CMW transmits the forward (access network) signal to which the access
terminal can synchronize in order to perform session negotiation and establish the
connection. The forward signal is used to transfer signaling messages and user
data to the AT.
●The AT transmits a reverse signal that the R&S CMW can receive and decode in
order to set up a connection and perform various measurements.
See also: "RF Connectors" in the R&S CMW user manual, chapter "Getting Started"
2.2.1.2 Test Setup for Hybrid Mode Scenario
A test setup for a connection with CDMA2000 1xRTT and CDMA2000 1xEV-DO
involves two forward and two reverse signals. The two signals must be transmitted via
different RF converters.
The R&S CMW offers two ways to achieve the hybrid mode:
●Single SUU or two SUUs in one R&S CMW: you use two connectors at the
R&S CMW and one connector at the DUT.
For the HW specification installed at at the R&S CMW see "Prerequisites"
on page 31 and "Prerequisites" on page 32 .
Use a bidirectional RF connector for the first forward and reverse signal and a sep-
arate RF connector for the second forward and reverse link. Connect both RF con-
nectors to an external combiner and connect the combiner to the DUT.
The following figure illustrates this example.

●Two SUUs in two R&S CMWs: you use two connectors of the multibox solution
and one connector at the DUT.
For the HW specification installed at at the R&S CMW see "Prerequisites"
on page 32.
The following figure illustrates this example.

The multibox solution requires multibox synchronization equipment.
2.2.1.3 Test Setup for External Fading Scenarios
In order to superimpose fading on the baseband signal, you can integrate an R&S
AMU200A into a test setup. The R&S AMU200A must be connected to the digital I/Q
interface of the R&S CMW. At least one I/Q board must be installed at the R&S CMW
for that purpose (option R&S CMW-B510x/-B520x).
All connections between R&S CMW and R&S AMU200A are established via the rear
panels of the instruments.
The following figure shows a setup with two downlink paths using the first I/Q board
(DIG IQ 1 to 4).

17User Manual 1173.9511.02 ─ 11
For a setup with only one downlink path you need only two of the four I/Q data connec-
tions.
The RF connections between R&S CMW and DUT must be established in the same
way as without external fading.
2.2.1.4 Test Setup for Internal Fading Scenarios
If internal fading shall be used, the test setup is the same as for the corresponding sce-
nario without fading.
2.2.2 Initiating Signaling Tests
The signal generator of the "1xEV-DO Signaling" application is controlled in the same
way as any other real-time or signaling generator, see chapter 2.4.2, "Signaling Con-
trol", on page 59 . The 1xEV-DO forward signal is turned on as long as the "1xEV-
DO Signaling" softkey indicates the "ON" state (after switching on, wait until the hour

glass symbol has disappeared). In this state, the connection states can be controlled
via hotkeys at the R&S CMW and via actions at the 1xEV-DO AT.
The default settings of the R&S CMW generally ensure a forward link signal with suita-
ble characteristics for session negotiation and connection setup. The most important
settings can be modified directly in the main view.
Checks in case of failed session negotiation
If session negotiation fails, check the following R&S CMW settings:
●The AT must support the selected 1xEV-DO band class.
●The "1xEV-DO Power" must be sufficient so that the AT under test can receive the
forward link signal.
●The external attenuation settings should be in accordance with characteristics of
the RF connection.
Performing measurements
The required settings vary depending on the measurement to be performed. However,
the general procedure outlined below is applicable to most measurements.
1. Connect your AT to the R&S CMW (see chapter 2.2.1, "Test Setups", on page 14).
2. Open the "1xEV-DO Signaling" firmware application.
3. Configure the signaling application according to the test to be performed.
4. To turn on the forward 1xEV-DO signal, click/press ON | OFF until the "1xEV-DO
Signaling" softkey indicates the "ON" state and the hour glass symbol has disap-
peared. See also chapter 2.2.6, "Connection States", on page 23
5. Switch on the AT.
The AT synchronizes to the forward signal and initiates a session negotiation. The
R&S CMW enters the "Session Open" state.
6. Click/press the "Connect" hotkey and wait until the R&S CMW has entered the
"Connected" state.
7. Use the "Go to..." softkey to switch to the measurement application. This can be a
measurement provided by the "1xEV-DO Signaling" firmware application (e.g. the
"1xEV-DO RX Measurement" or the "1xEV-DO Multi Evaluation" measurement
(option R&S CMW-KM880).
In the latter case, the softkey also selects the combined signal path scenario in the
measurement. The scenario allows to use the measurement in parallel to the sig-
naling application and configures compatible measurement settings (e.g. RF and
trigger source settings).

Trigger Source for Multi Evaluation Measurements
In the 1xEV-DO "Multi Evaluation" measurement use an "1xEV-DO Super Frame" trig-
ger source to obtain valid transmit time error results.
2.2.3 End to End Packet Data Connections
The R&S CMW with the data application unit provides an end to end packet data con-
nection between the core IP network and the access terminal.
2.2.3.1 Data Application Unit (DAU)
To set up a WCDMA packet data connection you need the Data Application Unit (DAU)
in addition to the "1xEV-DO signaling" application. The DAU itself is available as option
R&S CMW-B450x and the DAU measurements as R&S CMW-KM050. For IPv4 option
R&S CMW-KA100 is required, for IPv6 additionally option R&S CMW-KA150.
For configuration of the DAU, e.g. for initial configuration of the DAU IP settings, please
refer to the DAU's user manual.
When the packet data connection has been established, you can use the DAU to per-
form IP-based data tests (see DAU documentation).
You can also perform "RX Meas Data", see chapter 2.4.12.5, "Data View (Tab)",
on page 117.
Or you can perform other measurements that do not require a DAU, e.g. TX measure-
ments or "PER" or "Throughput" RX measurements chapter 2.4.12, "RX Measure-
ment", on page 106.
Most measurements require the transmission of data. For a test mode connection the
signaling application takes care of forward link data transmission. For a packet data
connection the signaling application does not transfer data. So you must generate IP
traffic by other means, e.g. using the DAU. You may for example initiate an IPerf mea-
surement or an FTP data transfer. For details refer to the DAU documentation. Some
DAU measurements and applications require to enter the IP address(es) assigned to
the AT. You can retrieve this information from the AT info section, see "AT IPv4
Address, IPv6 Prefix" on page 57.
Please refer to the DAU user manual:
●for configuration of the DAU, e.g. for initial configuration of the DAU IP settings;
●for limitations, if more signaling instances use end to end connections in parallel.
2.2.3.2 Packet Applications
The packet applications are part of the 1xEV-DO application layer and are used for
transporting user data between the access terminal and the access network, see chap-
ter 2.4.8.1, "Application Layer", on page 80 .

20User Manual 1173.9511.02 ─ 11
The supported standard packet applications are listed in the table below.
Table 2-1: Packet application types
Release 0 Revision A Revision B
Default Packet Application (DPA) Default Packet Application (DPA) Multi-link-Multi-flow Packet Appli-
cation (MMPA)
Enhanced Multi-flow Packet
Application (EMPA)
●The Default Packet Application (DPA) is specified in 3GPP2 C.S0024.
For DPA a Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) connection is established between the AN
and the AT and is used to transmit IP datagram. Authentication uses PAP/CHAP
algorithm.
●The Enhanced Multi-Flow Packet Application (EMPA) and Multi-link-Multi-flow
Packet Application (MMPA) are specified in 3GPP2 C.S0063.
For EMPA and MMPA a Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) connection is used only for
the authentication. Authentication uses the challenge-response algorithm of Exten-
sible Authentication Protocol with Authentication and Key Agreement prime mecha-
nism (EAP-AKA'). The user data transmission is then PPP free.
2.2.3.3 PDSN Functionality
A Packet Data Serving Node (PDSN) is a component of a CDMA2000 mobile network
which acts as the connection point between the radio access and IP networks. This
component is responsible for managing PPP sessions between the mobile provider's
core IP network and the mobile station.
The DAU implements basic PDSN functionality.
2.2.3.4 Setup Procedure
To set up an end-to-end packet data connection, perform the following steps:
1. Configure the IP settings of DAU according to the DAU's user manual.
2. Select the "Packet" application mode, see chapter 2.4.8.1, "Application Layer",
on page 80.
3. If network revision A shall be used, select the preferred packet application, see
"Packet Configuration > Preferred Application" on page 87.
Note, that the network release 0 uses always DPA and the network revision B uses
always MMPA.
4. If an EMPA/MMPA session shall be established, configure the network security
parameters, see chapter 2.4.9.5, "Security Settings", on page 102.
5. Configure any other settings as desired (as for a connection without the DAU) and
switch on the cell signal.
6. Register / attach the AT, see chapter 2.2.2, "Initiating Signaling Tests", on page 17.
