ZTE WCDMA Features
Basic Concepts of Communication----
Mobile Communication
 Mobile communication is the communication
between mobile bodies or that between mobile
body and fixed body. Mobile communication has
some features compared with fixed
communication:
 Mobility, keep communicating in the mobile state.
 Complicated radio propagation conditions.
 Heavy noise and interference.
 Complicated system and network structure.
 Efficiency utilization of bandwidth and good
performance of system are needed.
Basic Concepts of Communication----
Multiple Access
Multiple Access: Simultaneous private use of a transmission medium
by multiple, independent users.

 Why Multiple Access?

 Increased capacity: serve more users
Transmission
 Reduced capital requirements since
fewer media can carry the traffic
 Decreased per-user expense Medium
 Types of Transmission Medium:
 Twisted pair

 Coaxial cable
Each pair of users enjoys a
 Fiber optic cable
dedicated, private circuit
 Air interface (radio signals)
through the transmission
medium, unaware that the
other users exist.
Basic Concepts of Communication----
Multiple Access
 FDMA-- Frequency Division
Multiple Access
FDMA
 Each user on a different
frequency Power
 A channel is a frequency
 TDMA-- Time Division Multiple
Access
 Each user on a different window
period in time (which is called TDMA
“time-slot”)
Power
 A channel is a specific time slot
on a specific frequency
 CDMA-- Code Division Multiple
Access
 A channel is a unique code CDMA
pattern
 Each user uses the same Power
frequency all the time, but
mixed with different
distinguishing code patterns
Basic Concepts of Communication---- Duplex
 Why Duplex?
 Separate Unlink and
Downlink signals
TDD
 Make sure the transmission
to each end can be fulfilled
at the same time DUDDDDDD
 Time Division Duplex
(TDD) FDD
 Uplink and Downlink share
the same frequency D DDDDDD

 Frequency Division Duplex

(FDD) U
 Uplink and Downlink use
respective frequencies to
Uplink Downlink Unused
fulfill the transmission U D
Evolution of Mobile Communications

 Mobile communications existed half a century ago,

but it was in the 1980’s that it was really
developed.

 The main goal of mobile communications is to

realize communication among any objects at any
time, and in any place.
Evolution of Mobile Communications

 Public Lands Mobile Network (PLMN)

 has gone through 3 stages:
 1. First Generation ----Analog Mobile Telephone System
 2. Second Generation----Digital Mobile Communications
System
 3. Third Generation----IMT-2000

 code division multiple access (CDMA)
 digital signal
 broadband
 2) Meaning of ‘2000’ :
 frequency spectrum around 2000MHz
 data rate up to 2000kbps
 putting into business about year 2000
 3) Representative Systems:
 WCDMA CDMA2000 TD-SCDMA
Why we use 3G?

 Limited frequency resource:

 Present frequency cannot satisfy the need of mobile
communication’s development.
 The frequency efficiency of 2G is lower than that of 3G.
 Need of mobile multi-media:
 Mobile data service will be the important application of
the combination of mobile communication and Internet.
 The feature of 3G is the transmission capability of
providing data service in high rate.
Multiple Services
The Goal of 3G

 Higher transmit rate

 Rich and colorful service
 Good voice quality
 Larger capacity
 Lower cost
 Good secret performance
 High frequency efficiency
 Easy to transition from 2G
