What is T_ADD,T_DROP and T_TDROP in CDMA?

Pilot Detection Threshold (T_ADD) Any Pilot that is strong but is not in the Handoff Direction Message is a source of interference. This Pilot should be immediately moved into the active set for handoff to avoid voice/data degradation or a possible drop call. T_ADD affects the percentage of MS in handoff. It should be low … Read more

Basic Work of WCDMA Physical Channel

A physical channel is defined by a specific carrier frequency, code (scrambling code, spreading code) and relative phase. In UMTS system, the different code (scrambling code or spreading code) can distinguish the channels. Most channels consist of radio frames and time slots, and each radio frame consists of 15 time slots. Two types of physical channel: UL and … Read more

WiMAX versus 3G and Wi-Fi

How does WiMAX compare with the existing and emerging capabilities of 3G and Wi-Fi? The throughput capabilities of WiMAX depend on the channel bandwidth used. Unlike 3G systems, which have a fixed channel bandwidth, WiMAX defines a selectable channel bandwidth from 1.25MHz to 20MHz, which allows for a very flexible deployment. When deployed using the … Read more

Narrowband Wireless Local-Loop Systems

Naturally, the first application for which a wireless alternative was developed and deployed was voice telephony. These systems, called wireless local-loop (WLL), were quite successful in developing countries such as China, India, Indonesia, Brazil, and Russia, whose high demand for basic telephone services could not be served using existing infrastructure. In fact, WLL systems based … Read more

Types of Power Control in CDMA

Reverse power control Open loop power control Closed loop power control Inner loop power control:  800 Hz Outer loop power control Forward power control Message transmission mode: threshold transmission periodic transmission Closed loop power control    Reverse open loop power control means that based on the detected signals from a base station, a mobile station … Read more

Long Code & Short Code In CDMA

The long code is a PN sequence with period of 242-1chips The functions of a long code: Scramble the forward CDMA channel Control the insertion of power control bit Spread the information on the reverse CDMA channel to identify the mobile stations       In a reverse direction, different long codes are used for the information … Read more

Interleaving in CDMA

It can be seen from the figure that the data are read row by row into an interleaver at the transmit end,read column by column out (this process is called interleaving) and propagated after other modulation process. Then, the data enter the interleaver at the receive end row by row and are read out column … Read more
