IS-95B
IS-95B or cdmaOne is the evolved version of IS-95A and is designated as 2.5G. IS-95B maintains the Physical Layer of IS-95A, but due to an enhanced MAC layer, is capable of providing for higher speed data services. The following are the key aspects of the standard: Theoretical data rates of upto 115 kbps, with generally experienced rates of 64 kbps Additional Walsh codes and PN sequence masks, which enable a mobile user to be assigned up to eight forward or reverse code channels simultaneously, thus enabling a higher data rate Code channels, which are transmitted at full data rates during a data burst Convolutional Channel coding Binary Phase Shift Keying (BPSK) as the Modulation technique used

RCs help in providing for additional data rates. Quality and Erasure indicator bits (QIB and EIB) on the reverse power control sub channel. These help in indicating to the BS about bad frames or lost frames received at the mobile station, so that they can be retransmitted Code channels are transmitted at full data rates during a data burst Convolutional and Turbo coding techniques used Modulation technique used is QPSK
