Introduction

• The International Telecommunications Union (ITU)defined the key requirements for International Mobile Telecommunications 2000 (IMT-2000) services.

• These requirements were that the system should supportdata rates of:

• 2 Mbps in fixed or in-building environments• 384 kbps in pedestrian or urban environments•144 kbps in wide area mobile environments

• IMT-2000 is more commonly known as… 3G.

• Universal Mobile Telecommunication System/Wide-band CDMA is a 3G, Direct Sequence CDMA-based Radio Access Network (RAN), with chip rate of 3.84 Mcps.

• Designed to be deployed under GSM/GPRS network.

• “WCDMA” refers to the FDD Physical Layer and the protocols that support it.

• “UTRAN” refers to the WCDMA Radio Access network.

• “UMTS” refers to the entire network.

UMTS Releases

• Release 99: WCDMA

• Release 4: TD-SCDMA

• Release 5: HSDPA

• Release 6: HSUPA

• Combined HSDPA and HSUPA is called HSPA.

The carrier frequency is designated by the UTRA Absolute Radio Frequency Channel Number (UARFCN), where

Fcenter = UARFCN * 200 KHz

Codes in UMTS/WCDMA

• OVSF Codes: Orthogonal Codes• Gold Codes: Spreading Codes

• DL PSC: 512, SSC: 7680• UL Scrambling Codes: 16.8 million

18

Orthogonal functions have zero correlation.

Two binary sequences are orthogonal if the

process of “XORing” them results in an equal

number of 1s and -1s:

Example: -1 -1 1 1

-1 1 -1 1

1 -1 -1 1

Orthogonal Sequences

Orthogonal codes in WCDMA are termed orthogonal variable spreading factor (OVSF) codes.

24

• Gold codes (produced using M-sequences)

• M-sequences (maximum length pseudorandombinary sequences) or PN codes

Gold Codes


25


26

Generation of Gold Codes (25-1)

• Using two preferred M-sequence generators of degree r,with a fixed non-zero seed in the first generator.

• The Downlink Gold code sequences are of length 218-1.They begin at phase 0, go up to phase 38399, and arerepeated.

• The Uplink Gold code sequences are of length 225-1.


27

Cross-Correlation of Gold Codes

Example: N=18, t(n)=1+210=1025ACF=218=262,144, Normalized=1.Normalized Cross corr.=0.0039

How does HSDPA address the limitations of Release 99?

• Adaptive modulation and coding

– Fast feedback of channel condition

– QPSK and 16-QAM

– Coding from R=1/3 to R=1

• Multi-Code operation

– Multiple codes allocated per user

– Fixed spreading factor

• Node B scheduling

– Physical Layer HARQ

Hybrid ARQ (HARQ)

• Scheme combining ARQ and Forward Error Correction

• FEC decoding based on all unsuccessful transmissions

• Stop-and-Wait (SAW) protocol

• Two basic schemes:

– Chase Combining

-Same data block is sent at each retransmission

– Incremental Redundancy (IR)

- Additional Redundant Information sent at each retransmission

Other Standards • Worlwide Interoperability Microwave Access

(WiMax)– Operate in the 2.5, 3.5, or 5.8 GHz bands.– Data Rates now close to 73 Mbps (in 20 MHz of

spectrum) – Versions: IEEE 802.16d and e with amendments

like: 802.16f, g, h, i, j and k– Uses OFDM

• IEEE 802.20: Mobile Broadband Wireless Access (MBWA) (Fast Low-latency Access with Seamless Handoff ) FLASH-OFDM. (suspended but being developed under the name of EVDO Rev C: UMB)

91

Amendments to the IEEE 802.16 standardAn amendment to the standard, IEEE 802.16e addressing mobility, was concluded in 2005. This is sometimes called “Mobile WiMAX”, after theWiMAX forum for interoperability. Active amendments:

•802.16f – Management Information BaseAmendments in development:

•802.16g - Management Plane Procedures and ServicesAmendments at pre-draft stage:

•802.16h - Improved Coexistence Mechanisms for License-Exempt Operation •802.16i - Mobile Management Information Base •802.16j - Mobile Multihop Relay •802.16k - Bridging
