Duplex Technology Distinguish Users 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.

Duplex Technology Distinguish Users 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.

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.
Huawei Confidential
Page 19
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 multimode 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() =<x1(t) x1(t+) >
Mutual-correlation function
V() =<x1(t) x2(t+) >
Note: <x1(x)x2(y)> = 1, when x1=x2 , and x = y 0, others

Spreading Principle
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

De-spreading Principle
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

Cch,4,0 =(1,1,1,1)
Cch,2,0 = (1,1)
Cch,4,1 = (1,1,-1,-1) Cch,1,0 = (1) Cch,4,2 = (1,-1,1,-1)
Cch,2,1 = (1,-1)
Cch,4,3 = (1,-1,-1,1)
SF = 1 SF = 2 SF = 4
OVSF codes (Walsh) are completely orthogonal and their mutual correlation is zero.
Huawei Confidential
Page 30
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 users information, it misses some orthogonal to others. Then interference comes.

Scrambling in the WCDMA System
Downlink: Different cells (sector carrier frequencies) have different downlink scrambles.
Each cell is configured with a unique downlink scramble. The UE identifies a cell based on the scramble. The OVSF code is used to differentiate different users in a cell.
Uplink: Scrambles are used to differentiate different users.

In a cell, each user is configured with a unique uplink scramble. The OVSF code is used to differentiate the services of a user.

Code Generation Technologies in CDMA
Random sequence (Bernoulli sequence)
It consists of 0s and 1s only, with the number of 0s equal to that of 1s.

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 2 n-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.
Huawei Confidential
Page 34
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 differentiate the cells and users in the WCDMA system owing to its good self correlation.
Good self correlation determines the weak mutual correlation among the segmented sequences, and thus can be used to differentiate users and realize the multiple access function.
Huawei Confidential
Page 35
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.
