CDMA Support

Hi Everyone,

Anyone who has been following the oFono project knows that up until now oFono has been all about solving the GSM telephony stack problem. We wanted to support CDMA, but were simply too busy to do so. We'd like to change that.

During the Meego conference several oFono developers held a small workshop to figure out how to proceed with supporting CDMA and its related technologies in oFono. We had a very nice discussion and managed to hammer out the initial (highly preliminary) proposal for D-Bus APIs covering CDMA.

The proposal covers the basics of voice calls, data connections, messaging and network registration details. The documentation can be found under:
doc/cdma-network-api.txt doc/cdma-voicecall-manager-api.txt doc/cdma-message-api.txt
doc/cdma-connman-api.txt

Please note that so far this is a proposal only and no actual implementation work has been done. But I'd like this announcement to be the starting point for discussion and hopefully patch submissions for CDMA support :)

Hi Denis,

Initially we discussed not to use voicecall manager for cdma, rather only voicecall itself as we are going to have only one call at the UE level ?

Hi Rajesh,

That is the intent, I simply named it VoicecallManager to be consistent with the GSM interface name (e.g. Dial, SendTones, etc are on the manager interface) I don't mind naming this Voicecall if you feel this would be better.
