CellCore Product Reference Guide
The following table shows improvements to CellCore.
| Item | Description |
|---|---|
| Radio Stack Reliability Improvements
(Pocket PC and Smartphone) |
Improves the reliability of call connecting and receiving operations.
Provides clearer reception during calls. Improves the consistentency of signal strength readings when comparing the signal strength shown on several phones at the same location. |
| Multiple Simultaneous Connections for APN and Wi-Fi
(Pocket PC and Smartphone) |
Provides the capability for a Windows Mobile–based device to connect to multiple Access Point Names (APNs) at the same time, or to connect to an APN and establish a Wi-Fi connection at the same time.
The presence of simultaneous APN and Wi-Fi connections makes it possible to connect the Windows Mobile–based device to the Internet by using a Wi-Fi connection while the device also connects to an operator-specific APN service. Support for multiple simultaneous connections provides the capability to, for example, browse the Internet by using an Internet APN connection while simultaneously downloading Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS) messages over an MMS APN or e-mail over a dedicated e-mail APN. In another example, an end user can remain logged in to an instant messaging (IM) application over a dedicated IM APN without being disrupted by other APN connections. Note In Windows Mobile Version 5.0, only a device that connects by using the RAS/PPP interface supports multiple simultaneous connections. |
| Simultaneous Voice and Data Over a Single Bearer
(Pocket PC and Smartphone) |
Provides an end user with the ability to be in a voice or video circuit-switched call and simultaneously use packet data over a 3G network. Connection Manager provides simultaneous voice and data communication if the device enters 3G coverage and reverts to suspend/resume of data during voice calls when in 2G coverage.
With support for simultaneous voice and data, an end user can browse, download e-mail, or send an instant message while in a phone call. |
| TTPCom Sample RIL
(Pocket PC and Smartphone) |
Provides a sample radio interface layer (RIL) driver that uses TTPCom radio stacks. This sample is developed by Microsoft and supplements the TI radio stack provided by TI. |
| RIL Driver Resilience Improvements
(Pocket PC and Smartphone) |
Provides software improvements to the sample RIL drivers provided by Microsoft with reference designs. Software improvements include greater radio interface stability, soft reboots and resets of the radio stack, and less noise in AT command traffic. |
| Always-on NDIS-based Connections
(Pocket PC and Smartphone) |
Exposes packet-based cellular data connections on GSM networks and CDMA networks as always-on connections that are made available to an end user immediately after registration. With an always-on connection, a Windows Mobile-based device that is WAN-enabled can automatically receive application patches and notifications. |
| Radio Test Improvements
(Pocket PC and Smartphone) |
Provides additional testing coverage for CDMA tests, multipart SMS tests, and other radio tests. |
| OMA DM Support for Connection Manager Settings
(Pocket PC and Smartphone) |
Supports over-the-air (OTA) provisioning using the SyncML standard with Microsoft extensions.
Provisions Connection Manager settings, including always-on synchronization settings, APN settings, and Wi-Fi settings. |
| Pocket Watson Support for Radio Data | Provides the Pocket Watson tool from Microsoft with the capability to report critical radio crashes and provide AT logs. |
