WCDMA Modulation

Different modulation methods corresponding to different transmitting abilities in air interface. R99/R4: QPSK HSDPA: QPSK or 16QAM The UTRAN air interface uses QPSK modulation in the downlink, although HSDPA may also employ 16 Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (16QAM). 16QAM requires good radio conditions to work well. As seen, with 16QAM also the amplitude of the signal … Read more

WCDMA Radio Interface Channel Definition

Logical Channel = information container  Defined by is transferred. Transport Channel = characteristics of transmission Described by and with data is transmitted over the radio interface . Physical Channel = specification of the information global content providing the real transmission resource, maybe a frequency ,a specific set of codes and phase. In terms of protocol … Read more

Process Gain in WCDMA

How Process Gain works in 3G? Process Gain = 10 Log (Chip rate/Bit Rate) Process gain differs for each service. If the service bit rate is greater, the process gain is smaller, UE needs more power for this service, then the coverage of this service will be smaller, vice versa. For common services, the bit … Read more

Orthogonal Code Usage – Coding & Decoding in WCDMA

How Orthogonal Code works in WCDMA? 1.Coding By spreading, each symbol is multiplied with all the chips in the orthogonal sequence assigned to the user. The resulting sequence is processed and is then transmitted over the physical channel along with other spread symbols. In this figure, 4-digit codes are used. The product of the user … Read more

CDMA Channel Frequencies & Calculation

The 850MHz CDMA band is most popularly used all over the world.This band as mentioned in the previous slide works between       824-849MHz Used for the Reverse link communication       869-894MHz Used for the Forward link communication The CDMA band is divided into sub bands as shown above.The Total Band of  25MHz is divided into … Read more

WCDMA Source Coding

AMR (Adaptive Multi-Rate) Speech A integrated speech codec with 8 source rates The AMR bit rates can be controlled by the RAN depending on the system load and quality of the speech connections Video Phone Service H.324 is used for VP Service in CS domain Includes: video codec, speech codec, data protocols, multiplexing and etc. … Read more

WCDMA Block Coding – CRC

Block coding is used to detect if there are any uncorrected errors left after error correction. The cyclic redundancy check (CRC) is a common method of block coding. Adding the CRC bits is done before the channel encoding and they are checked after the channel decoding. During the transmission, there are many interferences and fading. … Read more

What is RAKE RECEIVER and its Purpose in CDMA

Rake Receiver Instead of trying to overpower or correct multipath problems, CDMA takes advantage of the multipath to improve reception quality in fading conditions. CDMA does this by using multiple correlating receivers and assigning them to the strongest signals.  This is possible because the CDMA mobile is synchronized to the serving base station. The mobile’s … Read more

Functionally of EPC in LTE

EPC ( Evolved Universal Terrestrial Radio Access Network) Functionally the EPC is equivalent to the packet switched domain of the existing 3GPP networks. EPC consist of:–MME (Mobility Management Entity)–SAE GW represents the combination of the two gateways , Serving Gateway(S-GW) and Packet Data Network Gateway (P-GW)–Home Subscriber Server (HSS)–Policy and Charging Rules Function (PCRF) Mobility … Read more

Second-Generation Broadband Systems

Second-generation broadband wireless systems were able to overcome the LOS issue and to provide more capacity. This was done through the use of a cellular architecture and  implementation of advanced-signal processing techniques to improve the link and system performance under multipath conditions.  Several start-up companies developed advanced proprietary solutions that provided significant performance gains over … Read more
