Interference
Self-interference system
Bit (bps): the data that is obtained upon source coding and contains
information.
Symbol (sps): the data obtained upon channel coding and interleaving.
Chip (cps): the data obtained upon final spreading.
− The spreading rate of WCDMA is: 3.84 Mcps
Processing gain
It refers to the ratio of the final spreading rate to the bit rate (cps/bps).
In the WCDMA system, the processing gain depends on the specific
service.

Since all the users use orthogonal code, where does the self
interference come from?
Comes from the code error during the transfer.
If there are some code error on one user’s information, it
misses some orthogonal to others. Then interference comes.
