LTE Downlink & Uplink Physical Channel

LTE Downlink & Uplink Physical Channel LTE Downlink Physical Channel Physical Downlink Shared Channel ( PDSCH) This channel is used for unicastand paging functions. Carries the DL-SCH and PCH. QPSK,16-QAM,and 64-QAM Modulation. Physical Downlink Control Channel (PCSCH) Informs the UE about the resource allocation of PCH and DL-SCH, and Hybrid ARQ information related to DL-SCH. Carries … Read more

Purpose of Channelization Code & Scrambling Code in WCDMA

Purpose of Channelization Code & Scrambling Code in WCDMA Channelization Codes in WCDMA: Channelization codes, also known as Walsh codes, serve a critical purpose in WCDMA (Wideband Code Division Multiple Access) networks. These codes are used for the spreading of user data over a wide frequency band, which is a fundamental principle of CDMA-based systems … Read more

Logical Channel Type in GSM

As we know, every cell has several TRX and every TRX includes 8 timeslots (i.e. providing 8 basic physical channels). In the radio subsystem, the physical channel supports the logical channel based on the type of message transmitted . In this way,  the physical channels are mapped as different logical channels. In the GSM system, … Read more

Hybrid ARQ (HARQ) in LTE

Hybrid ARQ (HARQ) leads to higher efficiency in transmission and error correction. There is one HARQ entity per UE with 8 stop-and-wait processes for each HARQ entity. Both incremental redundancy and chase combining are supported. The number of HARQ retransmissions targeted by the HARQ protocol depends on the network configuration. The BLER seen by RLC … Read more
