WCDMA Radio Interface

w

3GPP protocol defined WCDMA radio interface into three channels: Physical channel, transport channel and logical channel. Logical channel: Carrying user services. Divided into 2 types, based on services it carried: Control channel and service channel. Transport channel: Between radio interface layer 2 and physical layer. Services provided by physical layer for MAC layer. Based on information transported, can be divided into dedicated channel and common channel. Physical channel: It is the ultimate embodiment of all kinds of information when they are transmitted on radio interfaces. Each channel that uses dedicated carrier frequency, code (spreading code and scramble) and carrier phase can be regarded as a dedicated channel.

Dedicated Channel (DCH)

Dedicated Channel (DCH) exists on uplink or downlink channel.

Dedicated transport channel

Broadcast channel (BCH) Forward access channel (FACH) Paging channel (PCH) Random access channel (RACH)
BCH, FACH & PCH are downlink channels. Only RACH is common uplink channel

Physical Channel

A physical channel is defined by a specific carrier frequency, code (scrambling code, spreading code) and relative phase. In UMTS system, the different code (scrambling code or spreading code) can distinguish the channels. Most channels consist of radio frames and time slots, and each radio frame consists of 15 time slots. Two types of physical channel: UL and DL

Common Pilot Channel (CPICH) Carries pre-defined sequence. Fixed rate 30Kbps SF=256 Can use STTD on this channel

Common Pilot Channel (CPICH)

w

Primary CPICH Uses OVSF code -Cch, 256,0 Scrambled by the primary scrambling code Only one CPICH per cell Broadcast over the entire cell The P-CPICH is a phase reference for SCH, Primary CCPCH, AICH, PICH. By default, it is also a phase reference for downlink DPCH. Secondary CPICH An arbitrary channel code of SF=256 is used for S-CPICH S-CPICH is scrambled by either the primary or a secondary scrambling code There may be zero, one , or several secondary CPICH. S-CPICH may be transmitted over part of the cell

S-CPICH may be a phase reference for S-CCPCH and downlink DPCH. 1/14/13 1111

Synchronization Channel (SCH)

w w

Used for cell search Two sub channels: P-SCH and S-SCH. SCH is transmitted at the first 256 chips of every time slot. PSC is transmitted repeatedly in each time slot.

SSC specifies the scrambling code groups of the cell. SSC is chosen from a set of 16 different codes of length 256, there are altogether 64 primary scrambling code groups.

Primary Common Control Physical Channel (PCCPCH)

w w w w w

Fixed rate 30kbps SF=256, 1 Carry BCH transport channel Not transmitted during the first 256 chips of each time slot. Only data part STTD transmit diversity may be used

1/14/13

Secondary Common Control Physical Channel (SCCPCH)

w w

Carry FACH and PCH. Two types of SCCPCH: with or without TFCI. UTRAN decides if a TFCI should be transmitted, UE must support TFCI. Possible rates are the same as that of downlink DPCH

w w

SF =256 - 4. FACH and PCH can be mapped to the same or separate SCCPCHs. If mapped to the same S-CCPCH, they can be mapped to the same frame.

Paging Indicator Channel (PICH)

w w

Fixed-rate (SF=256, 3), used to carry the Paging Indicators (PI). PICH is always associated with an S-CCPCH to which a PCH transport channel is mapped to. N paging indicators {PI0, , PIN-1} in each PICH frame, N=18, 36, 72, or 144. If a paging indicator in a certain frame is set to 1, it indicates that UEs associated with this paging indicator should read the corresponding frame of the associated S-CCPCH.

Acquisition Indicator Channel (AICH)

w

Frame structure of AICH two frames, 20 ms consists of a repeated sequence of 15 consecutive AS, each of length 20 symbols(5120 chips). Each time slot consists of two parts an Acquisition-Indicator(AI) and a part of duration 1024chips with no transmission. Acquisition-Indicator AI have 16 kinds of Signature. CPICH is the phase reference of AICH.

The PRACH consist of 2 parts: n Preamble l one or several preamble. l Each preamble is of length 4096chips and consists of 256 repetitions of a signature whose length is 16 chips. Total of 16 signatures l SF : 256 n Message part : l Two type, 10 or 20ms message part l SF : 256 - 32 Which signature is available and the length of message part are determined by higher layer
