WCDMA Block Coding - CRC
 Block coding is used to detect if there are any uncorrected erro

rs left after error correction.
 The cyclic redundancy check (CRC) is a common method of bl
ock coding.
 Adding the CRC bits is done before the channel encoding and t
hey are checked after the channel decoding.

WCDMA Channel Coding
 Effect
 Enhance the correlation among symbols so as to recover the signal when interfer
ence occurs
 Provides better error correction at receiver, but brings increment of the delay

WCDMA Interleaving
 Effect
 Interleaving is used to reduce the probability of consecutive bits error

 Process gain differs for each service.

 If the service bit rate is greater, the process gain is smaller,
UE needs more power for this service, then the coverage of
this service will be smaller, vice versa.

Spreading Technology
 Spreading consists of 2 steps:

 Channelization operation, which transforms data symbols into chip
s
 Scrambling operation is applied to the spreading signal
Data Chips after

symbol spreading

lization code

Purpose of Channelization Code
 Channelization code is used to distinguish different physical ch

annels of one transmitter
 For downlink, channelization code ( OVSF code ) is used to
separate different physical channels of one cell
 For uplink, channelization code ( OVSF code ) is used to se
parate different physical channels of one UE

Purpose of Scrambling Code
 Scrambling code is used to distinguish different transmitters
 For downlink, scrambling code is used to separate different

cells in one carrier
 For uplink, scrambling code is used to separate different UE
s in one carrier

Scrambling Code
 Scrambling code: GOLD sequence.
 There are 224 long uplink scrambling codes which are used for scrambli
ng of the uplink signals. Uplink scrambling codes are assigned by RN
C.
 For downlink, 512 primary scrambling codes are used.

 In UMTS system, the different code (scrambling code or spreading cod

Synchronization Procedure - Cell Search
UE uses PSC to acquire slot

Slot Synchronization synchronization to a cell
UE uses SSC to find frame synchronization

Frame synchronization & and identify the code group of the cell
Code Group Identification found in the first step
UE determines the primary scrambling code

through correlation over the PCPICH with all
Scrambling Code codes within the identified group, and then
Identification detects the P-CCPCH and reads BCH
information 。

Random Access Procedure
Choose a RACH sub channel from
available ones
Get available signatures
Set Preamble Retrans Max
Set Preamble_Initial_Power
Send a preamble
No AI
Get negative AI
Choose a access slot again Check the corresponding AI
Get positive AI
Choose a signature and
increase preamble transmit power Increase message part power by
p-m based on preamble power
The counter of preamble retransmit
Subtract 1, Commanded preamble power Send the corresponding message part
increased by Power Ramp Step
Y Set physical status to be RACH

Counter> 0 & Preamble power Set physical status to be Nack
message transmitted on AICH received
< maximum allowed power
N
Report the physical status to MAC
