Common Technical Terms
CDMA Techniques & Technologies

Bit, Symbol, Chip:


A bit is the input data which contain information
A symbol is the output of the convolution, encoder, and the
block interleaving
A chip is the output of spreading

Processing Gain:
Processing gain is the ratio of chip rate to the bit rate.
The processing gain in IS-95 system is 128, about 21dB.

Forward direction: Information path from base station to


mobile station
Reverse direction: Information path from mobile station to
base station
Source Coding
CDMA Techniques & Technologies

Vocoder:
8K QCELP
13K QCELP
EVRC

Characteristics
Support voice activity

In a typical duplex call, the duty ratio is less than 35%. To achieve
better capacity and low power consumption, base station reduces
its transmission power.
Channel Coding
CDMA Techniques & Technologies

Convolution code or TURBO code is used in channel encoding


Constraint length=shift register number+1.
Encoding efficiency= (total input bits / total output symbols)

Input (bits) Output (symbols)

convolution encoder
Turbo Code
CDMA Techniques & Technologies

Turbo code is used during the transmission of large data packet.


Characteristics of the Turbo code:
The input information is encoded twice and the two output codes can
exchange information with each other during decoding.
The symbol is protected not only by the neighborhood check bits,
but also by the separate Check Bits.

The performance of a Turbo code is superior to that of a convolution


code.

Out

Two points are important here:


Maximum number of shift register (N)
Mask

The period of out put sequence is 2N-1 bits


Only sequence offset is change when the mask is changed
PN stands for Pseudorandom Noise sequence
Long Code
CDMA Techniques & Technologies

The long code is a PN sequence with period of 242-1chips


The functions of a long code:
Scramble the forward CDMA channel
Control the insertion of power control bit
Spread the information on the reverse CDMA channel to identify
the mobile stations
Short Code
CDMA Techniques & Technologies

Short code is a PN sequence with period of 215 chips


Sequence with different time offset is used to distinguish
different sectors
PNc

PNb

PNa

Minimum PN sequence offset used is 64 chips, that is, 512 PN


offsets are available to identify the CDMA sectors (215/64=512).
Walsh Code
CDMA Techniques & Technologies

Walsh Code is one kind of orthogonal code.

W n Wn W1=0 0 0 0 0
Walsh code W2n= 0 1 0 1
W n Wn 0 0 W =
4

W2= 0 0 1 1
0 1 0 1 1 0

64-order Walsh function is used as a spreading function and


each Walsh code is orthogonal to other.

A Walsh can be presented by Wim where ith (row) is the


position and m is the order. For example, W24 means 0011
code in W4 matrix
Walsh Code
CDMA Techniques & Technologies

In forward direction, each symbol is spread with Walsh code

Walsh code is used to distinguish the user in forward link

For IS95A/B, in the reverse, every 6 symbols correspond to one


Walsh code. For example, if the symbol input is 110011,the
output after spreading is W5164 (110011=51).

For CDMA2000, in the reverse, Walsh function is used to define


the type of channel (RC 3-9)

CDMA Techniques & Technologies

• The transmission power required by the mobile station is determined by


the following factors:

Message Transmission Mode

MS measures the frame quality and informs the base station


to the result i.e. whether it is in the threshold or periodical
mode. Base station determines whether to change the
forward transmitting power or not.
In IS-95 system, the forward power control is slow but in
CDMA2000 system it is fast.

Compared with IS-95 system, CDMA2000 the forward


quick power control is fast.

Handoff
CDMA Techniques & Technologies

Soft handoff
It is a process of establishing a link with a target sector before
breaking the link with the serving sector

Softer handoff
Like the soft handoff, but the handoff is occurred between
multi-sectors in the same base station

Hard handoff
Hard handoff occurs when the two sectors are not
synchronized or are not on the same frequency. Interruption in
voice or data communication occurs but this interruption does
not effect the user communication
Soft/Softer Handoff

• Multi-path combination in the BSC during soft handoff

• Multi-path combination in the BTS during softer handoffs

CDMA Techniques & Technologies

The forward transmission diversity types in


CDMA2000 1X are

– The data stream is divided into two parts, which will be spread
by the orthogonal code sequence, and transmitted by two
antennas.

Note: Only the channels with black color are being implemented in

F-SCCH, F-PCH are the same as those of IS95. We will only discuss
F-SCH, F-QPCH F-DCCH in the following slides.
Forward channel
CDMA Air Interface

CDMA physical channels are classified in common channels and dedicated channels:
Common physical channels:
Forward Pilot Channel(F-PICH)
Forward Synchronous Channel(F-SYNC) These channels are compatible
Forward Paging Channel(F-PCH) with IS-95 system
Forward Broadcast Control Channel(F-BCCH)
Forward Quick Paging Channel(F-QPCH)
Forward Common Power Control Channel(F-CPCCH) These channels are newly
Forward Common Assignment Channel(F-CACH) defined in CDMA2000 system.
Forward Common Control Channel(F-CCCH)

Dedicated physical channel:


Forward Dedicated Control Channel(F-DCCH)
Forward Fundamental Channel(F-FCH)
Forward Supplemental Channel(F-SCH)

These channels are used to establish the connection between a base station and a
specific mobile station.
The CDMA2000 system adopts multiple data rates and the different combinations of
channels can achieve a performance superior to that in IS-95 system.
F-QPCH
CDMA Air Interface

It transmits OOK-modulated signal which can be demodulated by


MS simply and rapidly.

The channel adopts 80ms as a QPCH timeslot. Each timeslot is


divided into paging indicators, configuration change indicators
and broadcast indicators, all of which are utilized to inform the
MS whether to receive paging message, broadcast message or
system parameters in the next F-PCH.

Rapid and simple demodulation. MS no need to monitor F-PCH


for long time, so the standby time is prolonged.
F-SCH
CDMA Air Interface

F-SCH is typically used for high speed data


applications, while F-FCH is used for common
voice and low speed data application.

When a data call is established, firstly, F-FCH will


be allocated to the user. If the speed of data for
user exceeds 9.6kbps, F-SCH will be allocated.
F-DCCH
CDMA Air Interface

It is used for the transmission of specific user

Fundamental Channel
Fundamental Channel is used for the transmission of user
information to the base station during a call, and can be used to
transmit defaulted voice services as an independent Traffic
Channel.

Dedicated Control Channel


The Dedicated Control Channel is used for the transmission of
user and signaling information to a base station during a call.

Supplemental Channel/Supplemental Code Channel


These channels are used for the transmission of user information,
mainly data services, to the MS. The Reverse Traffic Channel
contains up to two supplemental channels and up to seven
supplemental code channels.

ESN
CDMA Number Planning

A unique Electronic Serial Number (ESN) is used to identify


single MS.

The ESN is allocated by the equipment Manufacturer.

An ESN includes 32 bits and has the following structure:


31......24 23......18 17......0 bit
TLDN

CC + MAC + 44 + H 0H 1H 2 + ABC

Temporary local directory number

For example, 86 133 44 755 001


SID/NID
CDMA Number Planning

A mobile station judges whether roaming takes place based on a


pair of identity numbers (SID and NID). For a CDMA network side,
there is no concept of NID, but an exchange number, which is used
to identify the network equipment where a user is located.

MSCID (Exchange Identity)

= System Identity (SID) + Exchange number (SWIN)

MSCID is used to represent a certain set of equipment in an NSS


network. For example, Unicom CDMA Shenzhen MSC is labeled as
3755+01
Location Area Identity (LAI)
CDMA Number Planning

PAGING message is broadcast within a local area, the size of


which depends on traffic, paging bearer capability, signaling flow ,
etc.

Format: MCC+MNC+LAC
MCC: Mobile Country Code, 3 digits. For example, China is 460.
MNC: Mobile Network Code, 2 digits. For example, the MNC of
Unicom is 03.
LAC: Location Area Code, a 2-byte-long hexadecimal BCD code.

For example, 460 03 0100


Global Cell Identity (GCI)
CDMA Number Planning

The unique ID of a cell in PLMN


Format: LAI+CI
CI: Cell Identity, a 2-byte-long hexadecimal BCD code,
pre defined by the engineering department. The first 3
digits and the last digit represent the base station
number and the sector number respectively. For an
omni-directional site, the last digit of CI is 0.
For example, 460 03 0100 1230 shows base station
number 123 contains an omni-directional site
