Outline • WCDMA two layer Spreading • Channelization code – OVSF code • How to generate OVSF code? • Scrambling code – Gold sequence • Conclusions
Spreading • Two layer spreading
Define DL and UL • DL(downlink): Node B(BaseStation) to User Equipment(Mobile) • UL(uplink):UE to Node B
Channelization Code • Usage◇Uplink: Separation of DPDCH and DPCCH from the same terminal◇Downlink: Separation of downlink connections to different users within one cell • Using OVSF code • Length◇Uplink: 4~256 chips same as SF ◇Downlink:4~512 chips same as SF
OVSF code • Orthogonal Variable Spreading Factor→The Spreading Factor can be changed (e.g.,for variable bit rate service) • Orthogonality preserved across the different symbol rates
Scrambling code • Usage◇Uplink: Separation of UE(Mobile) ◇Downlink: Separation of Base Station(cell) • Since WCDMA uses different scrambling codes to separate user from cells, it is not necessary to be synchronous between BS • Gold Sequence
Scrambling code(DL) • Length: 38400 chips(both UL and DL) • Use a 10msec radio frame of a 218-1 shortened Gold sequence • Total number of codes : 262,143 • Use only 8,192 codes→ Broken into 512 sets of codes • Each set has 1 primary code with 15 secodary codes • Primary codes are further broken into 64 code groups, each with 8 primary codes
Conclusions • Limited OVSF codes must be reused in every cell→Interference if two cells use the same code→Scrambling codes provide solutions • Asynchronous BS
