The 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) is a collaboration between groups of telecommunication associations, to make a globally applicable third generation 3G mobile phone system specification within the scope of…
A data-modulation scheme defines how the data bits are mixed with the carrier signal, which is always a sine wave. There are three basic ways to modulate a carrier signal…
OVSF Code (Orthogonal Variable Spreading Factor) is used as channelization code Orthogonal codes are easily generated by starting with a seed of 1, repeating the 1 horizontally and vertically, and…
Downlink Physical Channel of WCDMA Downlink Dedicated Physical Channel: Downlink DPCH Downlink Common Physical Channel: Common Control Physical Channel (CCPCH) Synchronization Channel ( SCH) Paging Indicator Channel (PICH) Acquisition Indicator…
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…
Channel Bandwidth 5 MHz Duplex Mode FDD and TDD Downlink RF Channel Structure Direct Spread (DS) Chip Rate 3.84 Mcps Frame Length 10 ms Spreading Modulation Balanced QPSK (downlink) Dual-channel…
Support two basic modes: FDD and TDD modes High chip rate (3.84 Mcps) and data rates (up to 2 Mbps) Employs coherent detection on uplink and downlink based on the…
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…
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 =…
Purpose of WCDMA Channelization Code Channelization code is used to distinguish different physical channels of one transmitter For downlink, channelization code ( OVSF code ) is used to separate different…
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…
