Introduction

This Part is directed toward Cellular Digital Packet Data (CDPD) Service Providers and manufacturers intending to build equipment for use in the CDPD internal network. This Part does not directly impact CDPD subscribers or Mobile End System (M-ES) manufacturers. This Part assumes that the reader is familiar with CDPD in general, as presented in [IS-732-100].

The 600 series of Parts in IS-732 contain specifications of normative CDPD Support Services. This series of Parts from 1012 to 1019 defines additional, non-normative, network support services for potential use by CDPD Service Providers. These parts specify the CDPD Directory Services (Part 1013), the CDPD Subscriber Directory Profile (Part 1015). Accounting Summary and Settlement (Part 1016), Remote Activation (Part 1017), the Authentication Services (Part 1018), and Location Services (Part 1019).

Although the CDPD Network supports multiple protocols at the Network Layer, all CDPD Network Support Services are based on ISO/OSI protocol suites.
