Common Technical Terms
 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

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.
Source Coding
 Vocoder:
8K QCELP
13K QCELP
EVRC
 Characteristics
Support voice activity

Channel Coding
Convolution code or TURBO code is used in channel encoding
Constraint length=shift register number+1.
Encoding efficiency= (total input bits / total output symbols)
convolution encoder
Input
(bits)
Output (symbols)

Turbo Code
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.

Scrambling (M) sequence
 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
 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

PNa
PNc
PNb
Short Code
 Short code is a PN sequence with period of 215
chips
 Sequence with different time offset is used to distinguish different
sectors
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
64-order Walsh function is used as a spreading function and
each Walsh code is orthogonal to other.
Walsh Code is one kind of orthogonal code.
A Walsh can be presented by Wi
m
where ith
(row) is the
position and m is the order. For example, W2
4
means 0101
code in W4 matrix
1 1
1 0

 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 W51
64
(110011=51).
 For CDMA2000, in the reverse, Walsh function is used to define the type of
channel (RC 3-9)

PowerControl
Reverse power control
Open loop power control
Closed loop power control
− Inner loop power control: 800 Hz
− Outer loop power control
Forward power control
Message transmission mode:
− threshold transmission
− periodic transmission
Closed loop power control
.

Reverse Open Loop PowerControl
• The transmission power required by the mobile station is determined by
the following factors:
 Distance from the base station
 Load of the cell
 Circumstance of the code channels
• The transmission power of the mobile station is relative to its received
power.

Forward PowerControl
 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.

Handoff
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/SofterHandoff
• Multi-path combination in the BSC during soft handoff
• Multi-path combination in the BTS during softer handoffs

Transmit Diversity
 Time diversity
 Block interleaving, error-correction
 Frequency diversity
 The CDMA signal energy is distributed on the whole 1.23MHZ
bandwidth.
 Space diversity
 The introduction of twin receive antennas .
 The RAKE receivers of the mobile station and the base station can
combine the signals of different time delay.
 During a handoff, the mobile station contacts multiple base stations
and searches for the strongest frame

Transmission Diversity
 The forward transmission diversity types in CDMA2000 1X are
 TD (Transmit Diversity)
− OTD (Orthogonal Transmit Diversity)
▪ The data stream is divided into two parts, which will be
spread by the orthogonal code sequence, and
transmitted by two antennas.
− STS (Space Time Spreading)
▪ All the forward code channels are transmitted by the
multi-antennas.
▪ Spread with the quasi-orthogonal code
 Non-TD

Forward channel
These channels are newly
defined in CDMA2000 system.
CDMA physical channels are classified in common channels and dedicated channels:
Common physical channels:
Forward Pilot Channel(F-PICH)
Forward Synchronous Channel(F-SYNC)
Forward Paging Channel(F-PCH)
Forward Broadcast Control Channel(F-BCCH)
Forward Quick Paging Channel(F-QPCH){not compatible wid is95}
Forward Common Power Control Channel(F-CPCCH)
Forward Common Assignment Channel(F-CACH)
Forward Common Control Channel(F-CCCH)
These channels are compatible
with IS-95 system
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.
CDMA Air Interface

F-QPCH
 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.
CDMA Air Interface

F-SCH
 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.
CDMA Air Interface

F-DCCH
 It is used for the transmission of specific user signaling
information during a call.
 Each forward traffic channel may contain one F-DCCH.
 Support 5ms frame.
 Support discontinuous transmission.
