Spreading and Scrambling Spreading means increasing the signal bandwidth Strictly speaking, spreading includes two operations: ► Channelization (increases signal bandwidth) - using orthogonalcodes ► Scrambling (does not affect the signal bandwidth) - usingpseudo noise
Channelization
^ Channelisation codes are orthogonal codes, based onOrthogonal Variable Spreading Factor (OVSF)technique ^ The codes are fully orthogonal, i.e., they do notinterfere with each other, only if the codes are timesynchronized ^ Thus, channelization codes can separate thetransmissions from a single source ^ In the downlink, it can separate different users withinone cell/sector ^ Limited orthogonal codes must be reused in every cell^ ►^ Problem: Interference if two cells use the same code^ ►^ Solution: Scrambling codes to reduce inter-base-stationinterference
Channelization
Scrambling
^ In the scrambling process the code sequence ismultiplied with a pseudorandom scrambling code. ^ The scrambling code can be a long code (a Gold codewith 10 ms period) or a short code (S(2) code). ^ In the downlink scrambling codes are used to reducethe inter-basestation interference. Typically, each NodeB has only one scrambling code for UEs to separatebase stations. Since a code tree under one scramblingcode is used by all users in its cell, proper codemanagement is needed.
Transport Channels -> Physical Channels ^ Transport channels contain the data generated at thehigher layers, which is carried over the air and aremapped in the physical layer to different physicalchannels. ^ The data is sent by transport block from MAC layer tophysical layer and generated by MAC layer every 10ms. ^ The transport format of each transport channel isidentified by the Transport Format Indicator (TFI),which is used in the interlayer communication betweenthe MAC layer and physical layer. ^ Several transport channels can be multiplexed togetherby physical layer to form a single Coded CompositeTransport Channel (CCTrCh).
^ The physical layer combines several TFI informationinto the Transport Format Combination Indicator(TFCI), which indicate which transport channels areactive for the current frame. ^ Two types of transport channels:
dedicated^ channels and^ common^
channels. ►^ Dedicated channel –reserved for a single user only.•^ Support fast power control and soft handover. ►^ Common channel – can be used by any user at any time.•^ Don’t support soft handover but some support fast power control. In addition to the physical channels mapped from thetransport channels, there exist physical channels for^ signaling^ purposes to carry only information betweennetwork and the terminals.
UL Dedicated Channel DCH Due to audible interference to the audioequipment caused from the discontinuous ULtransmission, two dedicated physical channelsare ► Dedicated Physical Control Channel (DPCCH) ► Dedicated Physical Data Channel (DPDCH) code multiplexing instead of time multiplexingto overcome discontinuous transmission (DTX).
^ Dedicated Physical Control Channel (DPCCH) has a fixedspreading factor of 256 and carries physical layer controlinformation. ^ DPCCH has four fields: Pilot, TFCI, FBI, TPC.^ ►^ Pilot – channel estimation + SIR estimate for PC^ ►^ TFCI – bit rate, channel decoding, interleaving parameters for everyDPDCH frame^ ►^ FBI (Feedback Information) – transmission diversity in the DL^ ►^ TPC (Transmission Power Control) – power control command
UL receiver in BS
^ It performs following^ ►^ Start receiving the frame, de-spreading DPCCH and bufferingthe DPDCH according to max bit rate corresponding to thesmallest spreading factor^ ►^ For every slot•^ Obtain channel estimate using pilot bits and estimate SIR•^ Send TPC command in DL to UE to control UL tx power•^ Decode TPC bit in every slot and adjust DL power for that UE^ ►^ For every 2
nd^ th^ or 4^ slot• Decode FBI bits, if present in 2 or 4 slots and adjust antennaphases and amplitude for transmission diversity ► For every 10 ms frame• Decode TFCI information from DPCCH frame to obtain bit rate ► For transmission time interval (TTI) of 10, 20, 40 or 80 ms,decode DPDCH data

Synchronisation Channel (SCH) – Cell
Searching ^ Cell search using SCH has three basic steps:^ ►^ The UE searches the 256-chip primary synchronisation code,which is common to all cells and is the same in every slot.Detect peaks in the output of the filter corresponds to the slotboundary (slot synchronisation).^ ►^ The UE seeks the largest peak secondary synchronisationcode (SSC). There are 64 unique SSC sequences. Each SSCsequence has 15 SSCs. The UE needs to know 15 successiveSSCs from the S-SCH, then it can determine the code group inorder to know the frame boundary (frame synchronisation).^ ►^ Each code group has 8 primary scrambling. The correct one isfound by each possible scrambling code in turn over theCPICH of that cell.
