BENEFITS
Elaborate analysis and simulations1 have shown that deployment of CPCH in association with the FACH provides the following advantages over that of DCH: a 21-fold increase in spectrum efficiency in the uplink a 3.3-fold increase in spectrum efficiency in the downlink an increase in the hardware resource utilization by a factor of 16 CPCH also offers an 8-fold increase in throughput and spectral efficiency as compared to that of RACH. The use of the CPCH/FACH packet switched method provides a much higher throughput and spectral utilization efficiency as compared to other existing packet methods within UMTS. This will greatly reduce infrastructure cost and maximize profitability. CPCH offers the best and the most cost efficient implementation of the 3GPP W-CDMA standard for packet data transfer.
Simulation results are subject to changing assumptions. For the most recent description, please refer to joint paper (footnote 1). 1 Joint Paper: Kourosh Parsa, Golden Bridge Technology Inc., Saeed Ghassemzadeh, AT&T Labs, Saied Kazeminejad, SBC Technology Resources, "System Engineering of Data Services in UMTS W-CDMA System", IST Mobile Communications Summit, Galway, Ireland, 1-4 October 2000
The Following Graphs are Illustrative Comparisons of the CPCH/FACH and the DCH/DSCH Operation
There are currently two modes of operations for packet data transport in the 3GPP W-CDMA: packet mode and circuit mode. In the packet mode, the downlink transport channels include use of the Forward Access Channel (FACH). The uplink transport channels for packet mode are Random Access Channel (RACH) and the Common Packet Channel (CPCH). In the circuit mode, DCH is used to transfer packet data in both directions. The Downlink Shared Channel (DSCH) can be used in either mode.

Assumptions:
Data Rate = 64 kb/s Packet Duration = 60 msec Packet Duration = 60 msec Data = 60 msec * 64 kb/s = 3,840 bits
DCH/DSCH
CPCH/FACH
Inactivity Timer Ti = 0 sec FACH Overhead = 0.06*16 kb/s = 960 bits FACH Data / FACH Overhead = 3,840 / 960= 4 / 1
CALCULATION:
CPCH/FACH Supports 4 Times More Users Than DCH/DSCH
Inactivity timer = Ti sec Overhead=(Ti+0.06)*16 kb/s = 16* Ti Kbits (drop 0.06) Ti = 1 sec (currently considered from 1 to 3 sec) DSCH Data /DSCH Overhead = 3,840/(1*16,000) = 1/4
For Ti = 1 sec, (FACH/CPCH Users) / (DSCH/DCH Users) = (DSCH/DCH Data + DSCH/DCH Overhead) / (FACH/CPCH Data + FACH/CPCH Overhead) = (3,840+16,000) / (3,840+960) = 19,840/ 4,800 4/1
