Part III:WCDMA Mobile Communication System • Overview of WCDMA • WCDMA System Architecture • WCDMA Protocols & Service Channels
WCDMA Basic (1/4) • Goal : • an integrated seamless networkthat ensures global personal connectivity and enables access to broadband wireless multimediacommunications and services by anyone, from anywhere, at any time. (source: UMTS Forum) • Data Rate Requirements Source: ITU-R Circular Letter Edit: CHT-TL
WCDMA Basic (2/4) • Frequency band (ITU Allocation) • FDD : Downlink 1885-1980 MHz, Uplink 2110-2170 MHz (Extended Band: 806-960 MHz, 1710-1885 MHz, 2500-2690 MHz) • TDD : 2010-2025 MHz • Features of spread spectrum • Spread the information bits into the whole carrier space (white noise) • Channelisation by using the OVSF (Orthogonal Variable Spreading Factor)codes • Processing gain • Security • Anti-jamming

WCDMA System Architecture (2/2) • Major Components to form the Network • UE (User Equipment) • UTRAN (UMTS Radio Access Network) • Node B and RNC • CN (Core Network) (R99) • Inherit the GPRS/GSM Core Network • SGSN/GGSN (GPRS) • MSC/HLR/VLR (GSM) • Two Switching Domain • Packet Switch Domain • Circuit Switch Domain
CN (Core Network) • MSC as upgraded CN for CS domain • SGSN as upgraded CN for PS domain • Existing network elements like HLR or GGSN will be modified and reused • Existing interfaces like E, Gn … will probably reused Ref: Tektronix
RNC (Radio Network Controller) • Control of one or more Node B • Interface with the CN (3G-MSC and 3G-SGSN) • Control the use and the integrity of the radio resources of UTRAN • Terminated RANAP, NBAP, RNSAP as well as RRC/RLC/MAC • The central element of an UMTS
Node-B (BS) • A logical node like BTS in GSM • Perform the air interface L1 processing • Responsible for transmission and reception in one or more cells to/from the User Equipment • Terminate the Iub interface, i.e. NBAP • RF power control • Control a number of cells Ref: Tektronix
