Introduction

This document defines requirements for support of wireless packet data networking capability on a third generation wireless system based on cdma2000®¹. This document supports the services and architecture in [1].

This document defines the two methods for accessing public networks (Internet) and private networks (intranets): Simple IP and MIP. It describes the required Quality of Service, Security, Mobility Management, and Accounting capabilities needed to support both methods. IETF protocols are widely employed whenever possible to minimize the number of new protocols required and to maximize the utilization of well accepted standards.

This document is organized into a series of related chapters, some of which address capabilities common to both IP access service types: MIP and Simple IP, and others may describe capabilities applicable to a specific IP access service.
