Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA ) infra-
structure.
Code Division Mul-
tiple Access
(CDMA )
Standard for digital communications. Allows con-
sistent communications in various parts of the
world despite variations in RF spectrum alloc-
ations. Transferring the SIM (see below) permits
users to roam by changing terminal equipment.
Home Location

Stores the identity and user data for all subscribers
belonging to the area of the related MSC.
International
Mobile Equipment
Identity (IMEI)
A unique number for each CDMA Terminal tracked
by the CDMA operators in their Equipment Identity
Register (EIR) database.
International
Mobile Subscriber
Identification
(IMSI)
A unique number identifying the subscriber stored
in the SIM card. Number is used in conjunction with
the network for call routing.

A secret code used in authentication and encryp-
tion by the terminal.
Mobile Originated
(MO)
Any CDMA service originated at the mobile ter-
minal.
Mobile Terminated
(MT)
Any CDMA service originated from or routed
through the network and sent to the mobile ter-
minal.
Mobile Switching
Center (MSC)
The central switch of the CDMA network. Performs
call routing, collects call detail records for billing,
and supervises system operations.
Non-Transparent
Mode
Delivers a constantly low error rate but with a non-
guaranteed throughput or delay. The Non-Trans-
parent service provides a performance that is
closest to using a modem over a fixed PSTN line.
