CHAPTER 1 - INTRODUCTION

The AT command set is one of the main interfaces for the modem to interact with an external application layer. CDMA AT commands are defined in TIA/EIA/IS707.3. However, as the wireless applications increase, TIA/EIA/IS707.3 is not sufficient. In addition, a lot of GSM applications already exist and GSM customers would like to maintain the same interface in order to make no or minimum changes to the applications to be used with CDMA modem. To meet the all these needs, CDMA AT command set is designed to cover:

1)IS707.3 AT commands;

2)GSM 07.07 when applicable;

3)GSM 07.05 when applicable,

4)ITU-T v25 when applicable;

5)Proprietary AT set;

6)Customer specific AT commands;

7)Qualcomm defined AT commands.

Please note that in several instances, the GSM 7.07 and 7.05 specifications could not be followed because of fundamental differences between CDMA and GSM call processing behaviors. In these cases, minimal changes were made to the GSM-related commands.

Scope of This Document

This document describes the CDMA AT command, its syntax, its responses, and result codes. It serves as the reference for wireless application development based on the CDMA modem and for its integration and testing. The intended audience is expected to be familiar with CDMA data services protocol and AT modem commands.

This document is also intended for use in the North American market. SIM/R-UIM and its related AT commands are not documented here.
