Spectrum Allocation in Europe
Need for Speed = Wide Band System•The spectrum availability is a key factor for the success of 3rd generation systems
•UMTS Forum estimated a minimum need for a 3rd generation operator of
–2x15 MHz of paired spectrum
–5 MHz of unpaired spectrum
(supposing 1 UMTS carrier occupies a 5 MHz slot)

CDMA & spread spectrum• CDMA = Code Division Multiple Access
• Spread spectrum is a characteristic of a signal; the signal is not necessarily intended for a multiple access of a common medium (e.g. anti-jamming)
• Signals used in CDMA are usually spread spectrum
signals • There are many types of spread spectrum, e.g.
– Direct Sequence this is the only one we consider here
– Frequency hopping

Soft handoff (hand-over)
• The two Base Stations use different scrambling codes
• Soft handoff exploits macro-diversity
• Softer handoff: between two sector of the same BS
• Active Set: set of BS connected to a mobile
• Candidate Set: set of BS whose signals has been detected by the mobile but not currently connected

CDMA – Technology review
Why power control ?• A “strong” user can cover a “weak” one (because codes are not strictly orthogonal): near far effect• Since we want a fair system the network command the mobiles to adjust their power in order to have their signals to arrive with (almost) equal quality (minimise the interference at the base station)• Power control is critical for CDMA systems• If we can separate users in some way (e.g. TDD and Multi User Detection) power control become less critical

Power control & soft handoff
• Power control minimise intra-cell interference
• Inter-cell interference minimisation is achieved through soft handoff and careful selection of the BS involved in it

Codes planning
• Different Base Stations must have different scrambling codes– e.g. to permit to the mobile to distinguish
between signals coming from different BS
• “Different” scrambling codes – “completely” different scrambling codes
– scrambling codes made by shifting a unique mother code

Synchronous & asynchronous networks• Synchronous network: all BS are tightly
synchronised (e.g. through GPS)
• Asynchronous network: BS are not supposed to be synchronised
• In synchronous networks we can use a set o scrambling codes made from shifts of a unique mother code
UMTS is an asynchronous system

Logical, Transport and Physical channels
• Logical channel: an information stream dedicated to the transfer of a specific type of information
• Transport channel: described by how data are transferred

UMTS – Synchronization
• PSCH is constant over a slot and identify the UMTS cell, slot periodicity. (slot synchronization)
• SSCH is constant over a frame, each of 15 slot has its own symbol from 16 possible ones and identify the code group to use. (frame synchronization)
• CPICH has frame periodicity. Identify the sub-code from where to get the final code to use with other channels.

UMTS – Hardware Function Extentions
The asynchronous characteristic in UMTS system needs a more complex synchronization procedure.
The complexity in its realization is due to the big amount of CPU and/or DSP time need to complete the synchronization between the mobile and the antenna. The solutions are the use of a powerful embedded system, but it may cost in power consumption, or the realization of an external, to CPU, hardware accelerator block that realize the desired function only when it is necessary, in real time. In this paper we present a full hardware block done in a FPGA for UMTS-FDD initial synchronization procedure.

UMTS Terminal : envisaged architecture
A digital predistortion in the TX path is envisaged, performed by the loop “DSP-Up conversion path-Antenna set-Feedback”. The same feedback line, shown in figure, is used to perform a dinamic adjustment, to improve the linearity of the receiving section.
The Control Processor manages the exchange of data/addressing information between the DSP and the ASIC
The core of the system is the DSP, responsible of most of the baseband processing; the support of dedicated FPGAs or ASICs for particular heavy computational operations like rake-decoding/Interference mitigation can be necessary depending on DSP computational power. In this last case, a dedicated bus between the DSP and the ASIC could also be needed, or the ASIC should directly communicate with the AD/DA converters and then with the DSP.
