Duplex Technology – Distinguish User’s UL and DL Signal – FDD

Frequency division duplex (FDD) : Distinguish the uplink and

downlink according to the frequencies. Adopted by the WCDMA, CDMA2000 and GSM

Advantage: It can be easily implemented.

Disadvantage: The spectrum utilization is low when the uplink and

downlink services (mainly the data services) are asymmetrical.

Page 13: 01 principles of the wcdma system

HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES CO., LTD. Page 13Huawei Confidential

Duplex Technology – Distinguish User’s UL and DL Signal – TDD

Time division duplex (TDD) : Distinguish the uplink and downlink

according to the timeslots. Adopted by the TD-SCDMA

Advantage: The uplink and downlink can be allocated with different numbers

of timeslots when the uplink and downlink services are asymmetrical.

Therefore, the spectrum utilization is high.

Disadvantage:

− It cannot be easily implemented and needs precise synchronization. In the CDMA

system, GPS synchronization is needed.

− When it is used with the CDMA technology, it is difficult to control interference

between the uplink and the downlink.

Page 14: 01 principles of the wcdma system

HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES CO., LTD. Page 14Huawei Confidential

Traffic channels: different users are assigned unique code and transmitted over the same frequency band, for example, WCDMA and CDMA2000

Traffic channels: different frequency bands are allocated to different users,for example, AMPS and TACS

Traffic channels: different time slots are allocated to different users, for example, DAMPS and GSM

Why does the WCDMA system have enhanced anti-

Common Terms Bit, symbol and chip

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.

Page 19: 01 principles of the wcdma system

HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES CO., LTD. Page 19Huawei Confidential

Spreading Factor and Service Rate

Chip rate = symbol rate spreading factor

For WCDMA, if the chip rate is 3.84 MHz and the spreading factor is 4, the

symbol rate is 960 Kbps.

For CDMA2000-1x, if the chip rate is 1.2288 MHz and the spreading factor is

64, the symbol rate is 19.2 Kbps.

Symbol rate = (service rate + check code) × channel code ×repetition

or punching rate

For WCDMA, if the service rate is 384 Kbps and the channel code is 1/3

Turbo, the symbol rate is 960 Kbps.

For CDMA2000-1x, if the service rate is 9.6 Kbps and the channel code is

1/3 convolutional code, the symbol rate is 19.2 Kbps.

Source Coding in WCDMA

The WCDMA system adopts the adaptive multi-rate (AMR) speech coding. A total of eight coding modes are available. The coding rate ranges from 12.2

Kbps to 4.75 Kbps.

Multiple voice rates are compatible with the coding modes used by current mainstream mobile communication systems. This facilitates the design of multi-mode terminals.

The system automatically adjusts the voice rate according to the distance between the user and the NodeB, thus reducing the number of handovers and call drop.

The system automatically decreases the voice rate of some users according to

the cell load, thus saving power and containing more users.

Self Correlation and Mutual Correlation of Code Words

Different users adopt different spreading code words,

such as x1(t) , x2(t) ….

Self correlation determines multipath interference.

Mutual correlation determines multiple access

interference.

Self-correlation function

R(τ) =<x1(t) , x1(t+τ) >

Mutual-correlation function

V(τ) =<x1(t) , x2(t+τ) >

Note: <x1(x) , x2(y)> =1, when x1=x2 , and x = y

0, others

Users who need to send information: UE1, UE2 and UE3

UE1 uses c1 for spreading: UE1 x c1

UE2 uses c2 for spreading: UE2 x c2

UE3 uses c3 for spreading: UE3 x c3

c1, c2 and c3 are orthogonal to each other

Information sent: UE1 x c1 + UE2 x c2 + UE3 x c3

UE1 uses c1 for de-spreading.

(UE1 x c1 + UE2 x c2 + UE3 x c3) x c1

= UE1 x (c1 x c1) + UE2 x (c2 x c1) + UE3 x (c3 x c1)

= UE1 x 1 + UE2 x 0 + UE3 x 0

= UE1

In the same way, UE2 uses c2 for de-spreading and UE3

uses c3 for de-spreading to get their own signals.

OVSF & Walsh

OVSF codes (Walsh) are completely orthogonal and their mutual correlation is zero.

SF = 1 SF = 2 SF = 4

Cch,1,0 = (1)

Cch,2,0 = (1,1)

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

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

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

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

Cch,4,3 = (1,-1,-1,1)

Page 30: 01 principles of the wcdma system

HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES CO., LTD. Page 30Huawei Confidential

Why CDMA system is a self interference system?

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.

Scrambling in the WCDMA System

Downlink: Different cells have different downlink scrambling codes.

Each cell is configured with a unique downlink scramble. The UE

identifies a cell based on the scramble.

The OVSF code is used to distinguish different users in a cell.

Uplink: Scrambles are used to distinguish different users.

In one cell, each user is configured with a unique uplink scrambling

code.

The OVSF code is used to distinguish the services of a user.

Code Generation Technologies in CDMA Random sequence (Bernoulli sequence)

It consists of 0’s and 1’s only, with the number of 0’s equal to that of 1’s.

The probability of continuous 1 or 0 is as follows: 1/2 for one continuous 0 or 1, 1/4

for two continuous 0 or 1, 1/8 for three continuous 0 or 1….

One half of the shift sequence is the same as the original sequence and the other

half is different.

m sequence - scrambling code used in the CDMA2000 system It is generated by the shift register.

As the longest linear shift register sequence, its period is 2n-1, where “n” stands for

the length of the shift register.

When the delay is 0, the self-correlation function has a maximum value. In other

cases, the function value is always -1.

It meets the Bernoulli sequence.

Its disadvantages are: Only one sequence is available and different users are

distinguished by different phases. So it has a high requirement for synchronization.

Page 35: 01 principles of the wcdma system

HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES CO., LTD. Page 35Huawei Confidential

Gold Sequence — Scrambling Code in the WCDMA System Gold sequence

It consists of two preferred m sequences on the Exclusive-OR

basis.

Its self-correlation function has multiple values, which is worse

than the m sequence.

It exceeds the m sequence in quantity.

The Gold sequence is used to distinguish the cells and users

in the WCDMA system owing to its good self correlation.

Good self correlation determines the Gold sequences can be

used to distinguish users, thus the multiple access function is

realized.

Page 36: 01 principles of the wcdma system

HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES CO., LTD. Page 36Huawei Confidential

Advantages and Disadvantages of the Gold Sequence

Advantages: The Gold sequence needs no GPS synchronization

and features high system flexibility and security.

The NodeB can work in asynchronous mode.

It is easy to realize indoor coverage.

Disadvantages: The Gold sequence has greater inter-code

interference than the m sequence.
