WCDMA Radio Interface has three kinds of channels
In terms of protocol layer, the WCDMA radio interface has three
channels: Physical channel transport channel and logical channel channels: Physical channel, transport channel and logical channel.
Logical channel: Carrying user services directly. According to the
types of the carried services, it is divided into two types: Control
channel and service channel channel and service channel.
Transport channel: It is the interface of radio interface layer 2 and
physical layer, and is the service provided for MAC layer by the
h i l l A di t h th th i f ti t t d i physical layer. According to whether the information transported is
dedicated information for a user or common information for all users, it
is divided into dedicated channel and common channel.
Physical channel: It is the ultimate embodiment of all kinds of
information when they are transmitted on radio interfaces. Each kind of
channel which uses dedicated carrier frequency, code (spreading code
d bl ) d i h (I Q) b d d and scramble) and carrier phase (I or Q) can be regarded as a
dedicated channel.

Physical Channel Physical Channel
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
d ) di ti i h th h l code) can distinguish the channels.
Most channels consist of radio frames and time slots, and each radio
frame consists of 15 time slots frame consists of 15 time slots.

Cell Synchronisation
Cell synchronisation is achieved with the Synchronisation Channel (SCH). This channel divides
up into two sub-channels:
1 Primary Synchronisation Channel (P-SCH) 1. Primary Synchronisation Channel (P-SCH)
(SLOT and CHIP SYNCHRONIZATION)
A Primary Synchronisation Code (PSC) is transmitted the first 256 chips of a time slot. This is the case in
every UMTS cell. If the UE detects the PSC, it has performed TS and chip synchronisation. This is typically
done with a single matchedfilter matchedto the primarysynchronizationcode which is commonfor all cells done with a single matched filter matched to the primary synchronization code which is common for all cells.
The slot timing of the cell can be obtained by decoding peaks in the matched filter output

P-CPICH as measurements reference
f f f f C C UE has to perform a set of L1 measurements, some of them refer to the CPICH channel:
CPICH RSCP
RSCP stands for Received Signal Code Power. The UE measures the RSCP on the Primary-CPICH. The g y
reference point for the measurement is the antenna connector of the UE. The CPICH RSCP is a power
measurement of the CPICH. The received code power may be high, but it does not yet indicate the quality of
the received signal, which depends on the overall noise level.
UTRA carrier RSSI.
RSSI stands for Received Signal Strength Indicator. The UE measures the received wide band power,
which includes thermal noise and receiver generated noise. The reference point for the measurements is the
antenna connector of the UE antenna connector of the UE.
CPICH Ec/No
The CPICH Ec/No is used to determine the quality of the received signal. It gives the received energy per
received chip divided by the bands power density The qualityis the primaryCPICHs signal strengthin received chip divided by the band s power density. The quality is the primary CPICHs signal strength in
relation to the cell noise. (Please note, that transport channel quality is determined by BLER, BER, etc. )

Scrambling Code Planning Introduction
3GPP TS25.213 specifies that there are 512 downlink primary scrambling codes. Each
primary scrambling code has 15 associated secondary scrambling codes. There are also
additional scrambling codes which may be used during compressed mode additional scrambling codes which may be used during compressed mode.
Each cell within the radio network plan must be assigned a primary scrambling code. There
is no need for planners to assign secondary scrambling codes nor the compressed mode
scrambling codes.
If we plan the Scrambling Codes efficiently, then the cell search and syncronization
process time will be reduced. p
Scrambling code planning may require co-ordination at international borders.
Scrambling code planning can be completed independently for each RF carrier.
Scrambling code planning can be completed using either an automatic function in radio
network planning tool (Genex U-Net) or a home-made tool e.g. mapbasic. It can also be
completed manually for small areas completed manually for small areas.
Genex U-Net is able to plan scrambling codes according to a specific strategy and exclude
specific scrambling codes for future expansion.

Scrambling Code Planning Concept
The most important rule for scrambling code planning is that the isolation between cells which are p g p g
assigned the same scrambling code should be sufficiently great to ensure that a UE never
simultaneously receives the same scrambling code from more than a single cell.
DL scrambling code planning can be optimized so that cell reselections take less time. For initial cell g p g p
selection, if the UE does not contain any stored information about the cell, then it will need to scan the
whole 64 groups. In this scenario, SC planning does not affect the UEs performance
The scrambling code planning strategy should account for future network expansion. Future network g p g gy p
expansion could mean the inclusion of additional Node B, increased sectorization of existing Node B,
or the evolution of Node B Type. Some Scrambling codes should be reserved for this purpose to
minimize the impact on the original plan.
Additional rules for scrambling code planning are required at locations close to international borders
where there may be another 3G operator using the same RF carrier
Scrambling code planning can be completed independently for different RF carriers. If a radio network g p g p p y
includes Node B which are configured with two or three RF carriers then it is recommended that the
same scrambling code plan is assigned to each carrier. This reduces system complexity and helps to
reduce the work associated with planning and optimizing the network
Scrambling code planning should be completed in conjunction with neighbor list planning. Scrambling
code audits should be completed in combination with neighbor list audits. Checks should be made to
ensure that no cells are neighbored to two or more cells which have neighbor lists including the same

Scrambling Code Planning Strategy
The scrambling codes for the same site are allocated in the same scrambling code group
The current cells scrambling code cannot be reused by its neighbor cells and neighbor The current cell s scrambling code cannot be reused by its neighbor cells and neighbor
cells of other cells which belong to active set;
The scrambling codes of current cells neighbor cells cannot be reused by neighbor cells
of other cells which belong to active set;
The scrambling code planning can be done to minimize the number of code groups used
OR to make sure each code of the neighboring cells are from a different. The 3GPP g g
specifications do not specify which approach is preferred, and it depends on the UEs
implementation. The difference has not been quantified in the field and in practice, is
likelyto be very small (Huawei recommended different scrambling code group for likely to be very small (Huawei recommended different scrambling code group for
neighbor sites)

Scrambling Code Planning Method
1. Random Code Planning Randomly allocate the codes from any
code groups to the cells. A planner must be aware of the distance g
(coverage) between 2 cells using the same SC while utilizing this
method.
2. Reuse Code Group Planning Divide 64 code groups into several
sets based on the scale of a network (Hierarchical Cell Structure)

Scrambling Code Planning Method
1. Manual Method
When number of site is not much, the manual
method can be used e.g. on MapInfo or home-
made tools made tools
Locate the sites on MapInfo
For each cell, roughly identify the
neighboringcells This steprelies heavily neighboring cells. This step relies heavily
on local knowledge, after some drive tests,
we should be able to identify the neighbors
more accurately. y
Plan the SC in such a way that the primary
cell and its neighbors are from the different
code group. Remember to reserve some g p
codes for future expansion.
Have some minimum distance between two
cells if the SC is to be reused. E.g. 5km in g
urban areas. No need to plan too tightly.
Repeat this process for the rest of the cell.

An automatic scrambling code planning tool is available in U-Net. The
code allocation is based on each cell existing neighborhood.
The following constraints are applied when running the automatic
planning algorithm:
Domainconstraint :this is requiredto distinguishdifferent zones Domain constraint :this is required to distinguish different zones
Groups: it is possible to define scrambling code groups
Exceptional pairs: it is possible to define cell pairs that cannot
have the same scramblingcode have the same scrambling code
Reuse distance : a minimum reuse distance is defined

Border Scrambling Code Planning
The same scrambling code might be assigned at the border areas degrading
system performance.
To avoid this, there needs to be prior agreement between responsible
persons on the allowable scrambling codes used near the border.
Make sure there is enough re-use distance for the used codes on both sides
of the border.

WCDMA Power Planning (Downlink)
In a WCDMA system, the capacity on downlink is limited by Node B power which is the common
shared resource between the different services and users
In order to ensure systemstability, we do not allowthe mean transmitting power of the Node B to In order to ensure system stability, we do not allow the mean transmitting power of the Node B to
be more than 80% of the maximum transmitting power
Part of power used for the control channel transmission reduces the overall network capacity for
paying traffic paying traffic.
The coverage of control channels must be large compared to the traffic channels in order for the
mobile station to decode other base stations before entering the soft/softer handover zone
The broadcast channel including the cell information has to be decoded before the mobile enters
the coverage area of the cell, as a consequence it is necessary to plan how the power in the
downlink is distributed between the common channels
