The document discusses traffic management for multiple carriers in 1xEVDO and 1xRTT networks. 1xEVDO supports idle state traffic distribution using hashing, while 1xRTT supports idle and call setup state traffic distribution using hashing or access overload class. The 1xEVDO idle state traffic management is implemented when the access terminal is in the monitor state. A hashing function is used to select a CDMA channel from the sector parameters message based on session seed, number of channels, and decorrelate value.
