Introduction to CDMA
Introduction to CDMA
 TDMA Vs. CDMA

 Coverage limited Vs. Interference limited
 Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA)
 Background
– Defense use to commercial use (Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum)
 Basic Operation
 Processing gain
– RF bandwidth / base band BW
 Orthogonal codes
– What are they and how they are useful
– Auto correlation and Cross correlation
 How it is used in UMTS
– Scrambling codes and Channelization codes
Channelization Code Tree
384K RAB, SF=8 128K RAB, SF=16 in DCH

HSDPA, SF=16

UMTS Call Flow
SIB (System Information Block)
Cell Selection and Reselection Process
 Idle mode traffic balancing

 Why idle mode preferred over connected mode?

Ue State Transitions
Counters:
Step 1: DCH to FACH
Step 2: FACH to Idle
Call Flow
RAB set up procedure – Call Flow
Handover Mechanisms
Types of Handovers
 Soft and Softer Handover (SHO)

 Measurement Control
 Events
 Inter-Frequency Handover
 Events
 Compressed Mode
 IRAT (Inter Radio Access Technology) Handover
 Events
 Compressed mode

UMTS Power Control
Power Control
Closed Loop Power Control:
SIR Target Update – Outer Loop Power Control (OLPC)
HSDPA & HSUPA
HSDPA
 How speed is achieved?

 New transport and physiscal channels
 High level modulation (16QAM & 64QAM)
– Based on RF conditions
 Fast Link Adaptation (Mac-HS entity)
 Fast retransmissions (Hybrid ARQ)
Note:
The maximum bit rate that can be achieved in the UL can be the bottleneck for
the maximum bit rate achievable in the DL. For instance, excessive delay of
RLC/TCP acknowledgements due to low bandwidth in the UL will limit the DL
throughput, even if the RF conditions would allow more.

Troubleshooting Procedures
Trouble Shooting Procedures
 Alarm Monitoring
 NodeB and Iub related issues
 Neighbor List Scrub
 Parameter Audit
 RF Parameters
 Analyzing Drive Data
 Resource issues
 RF issues
– Poor Coverage
– Pilot pollution (overshooting pilots and poor dominance)
– Analyzing L3 messages
– UL/DL limitations
– Design issues (LA/RA/Iur boundary, etc.)
KPIs & Performance Measurements
(Post-Launch)
KPIs and PMs
 Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)

 Accessibility (CSV, CSD and PS)
– RRC Success/Failure Rate
– RAB Success/Failure Rate
– SRB Success/Failure Rate (not in Huawei/ZTE)
 Retainability (CSV, CSD and PS)
 HS Throughput
 IRAT Success Rate and % calls going to GSM
 Other PM counters to monitor
 Uplink Noise Rise (RTWP / UL RSSI)
 Basic Troubleshooting Procedures:
 Resources, RF conditions, External Interference, Mobility, etc.
Accessibility
 Relatively straightforward
 Three components
 RRC Success Rate, RAB Success Rate & SRB Retainability
 Resources
 DL Power
– RRC and RAB failure counters due to DL Pwr
 DL CHNL Codes
– RRC and RAB failure counters due to Codes
 Channel Elements (CE)
– RB, RL setup failure counters due to NodeB Resources
 Iub BW or CID congestion
– Failure counters due to Iub BW and Transport ID
Accessibility
 RF conditions
 Timeout Repeat
– Either Ue does not receive the RRC conn setup message (DL) or RNC does not
receive the RRC Conn Setup Complete message (UL).
 UL Noise Rise
– RTWP (Received Total Wide band Power) and UL RSSI
Retainability
 Resources
 DL Power
– Mean SIR Error (SIR target – SIR Estimated)
 Aggregate Overload Control (AOC)

 DL Pwr reduced across board for all RABs to protect the PA. Ues at the cell edge
 Mobility
 Mobility will be blocked (active set addition, deletion) during RB setup and
reconfigurations, causing interference build-up.
Load Balancing/Control
 Idle Mode Balancing

 Sintersearch
 qoffset2sn
 Connected Mode
 IFHO (Inter Frequency Handover) – Service, CAC (Call Admission Control) based
 IRAT (To GSM) – load based
 ISDR (Inter System Directed Retry)
AT&T KPI Targets and sample ACTIX Reports
 KPI Targets
