One Cell Frequency ReuseOne Cell Frequency Reuse

In WCDMA, all cells may use the same carrier frequency but different scrambling codes. This means no frequency planning, but scrambling code and power planning instead!

C1 * C2 = 0

(C1D1 + C2D2 + C3D3)

Perfect orthogonally

Number of users (capacity) are C1 C3 0

C1 * C1 = 1

C2 * C3 = 0

Number of users (capacity) are related to the number of codes.

Rate of codes must be higher than

C2 * C2 = 1

C3 * C3 = 1

the data. (as the code length increase the code rate increase)

So spreading must be used which p gminimize power per user

Spreading and Power Spectral DensitySpreading and Power Spectral Density

The shapes of power spectral density (Power / Hz) are very different between b(t) and y(t).

The total power (total area) is equal, however it has been spread over a greater bandwidth.

Spreading does not change total power. Spreading p g g p p gchanges how the power is distributed over frequency

Cell_DCH

When we have a dedicated channel open for a subscriber (for example, if we are usingid ) th t b ib i i C ll DCH t t I thi t t th UE i divideo), we say that subscriber is in Cell_DCH state. In this state the UE is sendingmeasurement reports to the network, thus the system can control the dedicated bearerand perform handovers.

Cell_FACH

If the mobile is only sending small pieces of information for exampleIf the mobile is only sending small pieces of information, for exampleInternet based traffic or for signalling, then the RRC can be in a mode known as Cell_FACHand is different from the previous state as no dedicated channel is used. The network doesnot perform handovers as the mobile moves from one cell to another. The UE just informsthe network of its current location.

UMTS UMTS U Cell U Cell statusstatus

Cell_PCH

In addition to the Cell FACH, if the network finds that the bearer is not being used for a long_ , g gtime, it can move the connection to a Cell_PCH mode (Paging Channel), where the mobile isstill know to a cell level but can only be reached via the PCH..

URA_PCH

The final state is the URA_PCH. This state is similar to the Cell_PCH. But, instead ofmonitoring the connection on a cell level, it is now on a RNC level.

Rate Matching

• Rate Matching

– When coded data rates of services are incompatible, “Rate Matching” is used to equalize the data rates.

– Rate Matching may be performed by:

• Padding with extra bits

• Puncturing of bits using a pseudo‐random algorithmPuncturing of bits using a pseudo random algorithm

– For complete rate matching rules, see 3GPP TS25.212 ¶ 4.2.7

This is possible because no cyclic shift of any SSC is equivalent to any cyclic shift of any other SSC.

Admission ControlAdmission Control

Admission Control

The most important − and the most difficult − to control in WCDMA is theinterference occurring in the radio path.

One of the basic criteria for planning is to define the acceptable interferenceOne of the basic criteria for planning is to define the acceptable interferencelevel, with which the network is expected to function correctly.

This planning based on the actual signals the UE transmit set practical limitsf th U i t f itfor the Uu interface capacity.

A value called SIR (Signal-to-Interference Ratio) is used in this context.

In the BTS receiver, the interference and the signal must have a certain levelof power difference in order to extract one signal (code) out from the othersignals using the same carrier.

Every UE having a bearer active through this cell “consumes” a part of theSIR. The cell is used up to its maximum level when the BTS receiver is notable to extract the signal from the carrier

The main task of admission control is to estimate whether a new call can haveaccess to the system without sacrificing the bearer requirements of existing calls.

The AC algorithm should predict the load of the cell if the new call isThe AC algorithm should predict the load of the cell if the new call isadmitted.

Based on the admission control, the Radio Network Controller(RNC) either grants or rejects the access.

When applying mathematics, it can be found out that the Signal-to-InterferenceRatio (SIR) or Interference Margin has direct relationship with the cell load If weRatio (SIR) or Interference Margin has direct relationship with the cell load. If weexpress the cell load with a Load_Factor (10 % load gives value 0.1) and markthe Interference Margin with I, it leads to the following equation:

Based on the graph it is fairly easy to indicate that when the cell loadexceeds 70 %, the interference in that cell will be very difficult to control.

This is h the WCDMA radio net ork is normall dimensioned ithThis is why the WCDMA radio network is normally dimensioned withexpected capacity equivalent to Load Factor value 0.5 (50 %). This valuehas a safety margin in it and the network will behave as expected.

RAKE Reception Concept

Interference in WCDMA plays greater rule than thermal noise

Multi paths reception for same signal can cause fading phenomenon

Delay between multi paths is typically 1-2 μSec in urban areas and 20 μSec in Hilly areas

WCDMA chip time is 0.26 μSec

WCDMA system uses RAKE receiver to overcome fading problem

Rake Reception Concept

Rake Receiver consists of number of reception fingers

Dedicated finger assigned to do measurements on NeighbourDedicated finger assigned to do measurements on Neighbour Node-Bs

Each finger locks on same signal but for different delays – different pathspaths –

Delay resolution within finger is ± ½ chip, total delay within receiver 30 μSec

The alignment of the fingers done by correlating the decoded CPICHwith an internally generated version at receiver. Applying suitable amount of delay at each finger

After Alignment a Combined signal will be generated – constructive addition –

The RAKE ReceiverThe RAKE Receiver

• CDMA Mobile Station RAKE Receiver Architecture– Each finger tracks a single multipath reflection

• Also be used to track other base station’s signal during soft handoverAlso be used to track other base stations signal during soft handover– One finger used as a “Searcher” to identify other base stations

Inter‐Frequency Handover

• Inter‐frequency Handover

– To allow inter‐frequency measurements, data is compressed in time so that some of the 10 mSecframe is available for measurements.

• 8 to 14 slots per frame may be used

– Data compression can be accomplished by:

• Decreasing the Spreading Factor by 2:1 – Increases Data Rate so bits get through twice as fast!– Increases Data Rate so bits get through twice as fast!

• Puncturing bits– weakens FEC coding

• Higher layer scheduling– Reduces available timeslots for user traffic

Compressed Mode Operation3GPP TS 25.212 ¶ 4.4.3

• 1 to 7 slots per frame diverted for hard handover processesThe complete TFCI word must be transmitted every frame, even in Compressed Mode.Compressed Mode Slot formats (A,B) contain higher proportion of TFCI bits per slot compared with normal slots

WCDMA Power Control Importance

Power is a shared resource in WCDMA system

Po er tili ation is so important toPower utilization is so important toIncrease system capacityDecrease overall interference in the system (Overcome near far problem effect)far problem effect)

WCDMA system provide fast power control procedure

1500 power order command / Sec = 1 power order command / Slot

3 Loops interact to provide power control procedure


All WCDMA users operating on same carrier are sources for interference

Amount of interference of all users on a Channel provide the limit of system capacity on that channel

i.e.) each channel has its minimum accepted SIR (Signal to Interference Ratio)

Having UEs in a different position from Node-B also create the near- far problem,

i.e.) Near UEs – suffer from relatively low path loss - can block the decoded signal from far UEs


UE C suffers less path loss the B and finally A


All Mobiles A, B and C suffers same path lossMobile A decoded signal suffers relatively little interference

All Mobiles A, B and C suffers different path lossMobile A decoded signal blocked due high interference
