Correlation in WCDMA

How Correlation works in WCDMA ? Correlation measures similarity between any two arbitrary signals. Identical and Orthogonal signals: Correlation is used to measure similarity of any two arbitrary signals. It is computed by multiplying the two signals and then summing (integrating) the result over a defined time windows. The two signals of figure (a) are … Read more

WCDMA Interleaving

How WCDMA Interleaving ? Effect Interleaving is used to reduce the probability of consecutive bits error Longer interleaving periods have better data protection with more delay Channel coding works well against random errors, but it is quite vulnerable to bursts of errors, which are typical in mobile radio systems. The especially fast moving UE in … Read more

WCDMA Channel Coding

Effect Enhance the correlation among symbols so as to recover the signal when interference occurs Provides better error correction at receiver, but brings increment of the delay Channel Types No Coding Convolutional Coding (1/2, 1/3) Turbo Coding (1/3)   UTRAN employs two FEC schemes: convolutional codes and turbo codes. The idea is to add redundancy … 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

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

Processing Procedure of WCDMA System

Processing Procedure of WCDMA System Source coding can increase the transmitting efficiency. Channel coding can make the transmission more reliable. Spreading can increase the capability of overcoming interference. Through the modulation, the signals will transfer to radio signals from digital signals. Bit, Symbol, Chip Bit : data after source coding Symbol: data after channel coding … Read more

Which Bands Used in WCDMA ?

There are different band in different country but most of commonly used band we will discuss here. Main bands : means basic band when 3G commercial launch by Private or public sector. 1920 ~ 1980MHz / 2110 ~ 2170MHz Supplementary bands: different country maybe different as per government selling in auction. 1850 ~ 1910 MHz / 1930 MHz … Read more

3G Spectrum Allocation

How 3G Spectrum Allocation? 3G Spectrum Allocation is different in different country but mainly its all having as per below figure. ITU has allocated 3G Spectrum Allocation 230 MHz frequency for the 3G mobile communication system IMT- 2000: 1885 ~ 2025MHz in the uplink and 2110~ 2200 MHz in the downlink. Of them, the frequency … Read more

What are SRNC and DRNC in WCDMA

SRNC and DRNC are concepts for a connected UE. The SRNC handles the connection to one UE, and may borrow radio resources of a certain cell from the DRNC. Drift RNCs support the Serving RNC by providing radio resources A UE in connection state has at least one and only one SRNC, but can has … Read more

lub Interface in 3G WCDMA

The 3G Iub interface is the terrestrial interface between NodeB and RNC. The Radio Network Layer defines procedures related to the operation of the WCDMA NodeB. The Transport Network Layer defines procedures for establishing physical connections between the 3G NodeB and the 3G RNC. The 3G Iub application protocol, WCDMA NodeB application part (NBAP) initiates … Read more
