The physical layer offers data transport services
to higher layers.
The access to these services is through the use
of transport channels via the MAC sub-layer.
The physical layer is expected to perform the
following functions in order to provide the data
transport service, for example Modulation and
spreading/demodulation and despreading, Inner -
loop power control etc.

Spreading Technology
 Spreading consists of 2 steps:
 Channelization operation, which transforms data symbols into chips. Thus
increasing the bandwidth of the signal, The number of chips per data
symbol is called the Spreading Factor(SF).The operation is done by
multiplying with OVSF code.
 Scrambling operation is applied to the spreading signal .

Channelization Code
 OVSF code is used as channelization code

 The channelization codes are uniquely described as Cch,SF,k, where SF is the

spreading factor of the code and k is the code number, 0  k  SF-1.

Cch,4,0 =(1,1,1,1)
Cch,2,0 = (1,1)
Cch,4,1 = (1,1,-1,-1)

 The code used for scrambling of the uplink DPCCH/DPDCH may be of


either long or short type, There are 224 long and 224 short uplink
scrambling codes. Uplink scrambling codes are assigned by higher
layers.

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.
 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.
 Transport channel: It is the interface of radio interface layer 2 and
physical layer, and is the service provided for MAC layer by the
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
and scramble) and carrier phase (I or Q) can be regarded as a
dedicated 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
code) can distinguish the channels.
 Most channels consist of radio frames and time slots, and each radio
frame consists of 15 time slots.
 Two types of physical channel:UL and DL

Transmit Diversity-Closed Loop Mode
 Closed loop mode transmit diversity

 Used in DPCH and PDSCH;


 Channel coding, interleaving and spreading are done as in non-
diversity mode. The spread complex valued signal is fed to both TX
antenna branches, and weighted with antenna specific weight
factors w1 and w2.
 The weight factors are determined by the UE, and signalled to the
UTRAN access point (=cell transceiver) using the D-bits of the FBI
field of uplink DPCCH.
 The calculation of weight factor is the key point of closed loop Tx
diversity.there are two modes with different calculation methods of
weight factor:
− 1、mode 1 uses phase adjustment;the dedicated pilot
symbols of two antennas are different(orthogonal)
− 2、mode 2 uses phase/amplitude adjustment; the dedicated
pilot symbols of two antennas are the same.
