What is the Result of Incorrect PN Planning in CDMA ?

The design of a PN offset plan for CDMA is comparable to that of a signalling channel frequency plan in analog. The consequences of poor offset planning include the following: Active Set Pilot Interference – This phenomenon would occur in the active area and involve the active search window (SRCH_WIN_A). The interfering signal would need … Read more

CDMA Traffic Channel Definitions Effective Traffic,Actual Traffic and Physical Traffic

Traffic Channel Definitions In analog systems, the traffic channels (or voice channels) are synonymous with the physical transceiver hardware. The nature of CDMA technology implies that the effective traffic carrying capacity of a CDMA carrier varies in accordance with the interference density in the band and also depends on various CDMA system parameters. From the … Read more

CDMA Handoff Defination,Types and Capacity

CDMA Handoff Defination,Types and Capacity Handoffs The TIA/EIA Interim Standard, Mobile Station – Base Station Compatibility Standard of Dual- Mode Wideband Spread Spectrum Cellular System (TIA/EIA/IS-95), states that a CDMA base station shall support three types of handoff processes. Which type of handoff used in cdma? CDMA to CDMA Hard Handoff A CDMA to CDMA … Read more

Reverse Channel Structure in CDMA

The Reverse CDMA Channel is composed of Access Channels and Reverse Traffic Channels. These channels share the same CDMA frequency assignment. Each Traffic Channel is identified by a distinct user long code sequence and each Access Channel is identified by a distinct Access Channel long code sequence. The following figure shows as example of the … Read more

Forward Channel Structure in CDMA

Here i write down on how Forward Channel works in CDMA ? and its Structure. The following figure shows an example of the code channels transmitted by a base station. Out of the 64 code channels available for use, the example depicts the Pilot Channel (always required), one Sync channel, seven Paging Channels (the maximum … Read more

Conventional Blocking Analysis for CDMA

Conventional Blocking formula and its Analysis for cdma. In AMPS and TDMA systems, voice/traffic channels are assigned to users as long as they are available. Given the required offered traffic, the Erlang B model is used to determine the number of traffic channels required to provide a predetermined grade of service. The Erlang B model … Read more

Power Control Inaccuracy in CDMA

CDMA means all depedancy on power control here i write on Power Control Inaccuracy in cdma. Traffic capacity of CDMA systems is increased by implementing an appropriate power control scheme to equalize the performance of all subscribers in the system. The appropriate power control scheme reduces the interference to the other adjacent cells. The less … Read more

Sectorization Gain in CDMA

Sectorization gain can be somewhat of a misleading term. One could think of the  sectorization gain as more of a reduction factor. For an omni site, the sectorization gain is one. With a sector site, one could initially try to multiply the resulting capacity of an omni site (or single sector) by the number of … Read more
