The first generation is the analog cellular mobile communication network in the time period from the middle of 1970s to the middle of 1980s. The most important breakthrough in this period is the concept of cellular networks put forward by the Bell Labs in the 1970s, as compared to the former mobile communication systems. The cellular network system is based on cells to implement frequency reuse and thus greatly enhances the system capacity. The typical examples of the first generation mobile communication systems are the AMPS system and the later enhanced TACS of USA, the NMT and the others. The AMPS (Advanced Mobile Phone System) uses the 800 MHz band of the analog cellular transmission system and it is widely applied in North America, South America and some Circum-Pacific countries. The TACS (Total Access Communication System) uses the 900 MHz band. It is widely applied in Britain, Japan and some Asian countries. The main feature of the first generation mobile communication systems is that they use the frequency reuse technology, adopt analog modulation for voice signals and provide an analog subscriber channel every other 30 kHz/25 kHz. However, their defects are also obvious:

Low utilization of the frequency spectrum Limited types of services No high-speed data services Poor confidentiality and high vulnerability to interception and number embezzlement High equipment cost

Put forward in 1985 by the ITU (International Telecommunication Union), the 3G mobile communication system was called the FPLMTS (Future Public Land Mobile Telecommunication System) and was later renamed as IMT-2000 (International Mobile Telecommunication-2000). The major systems include WCDMA, cdma2000 and UWC-136. On November 5, 1999, the 18th conference of ITU-R TG8/1 passed the Recommended Specification of Radio Interfaces of IMT-2000 and the TD-SCDMA technologies put forward by China were incorporated into the IMT-2000 CDMA TDD part of the technical specification. This showed that the work of the TG8/1 in formulating the technical specifications of radio interfaces in 3G mobile communication systems had basically come into an end and the development and application of the 3G mobile communication systems would enter a new and essential phase. The 3GPP is an organization that develops specifications for a 3G system based on the UTRA radio interface and on the enhanced GSM core network. The 3GPP2 initiative is the other major 3G standardization organization. It promotes the CDMA2000 system, which is also based on a form of WCDMA technology. In the world of IMT-2000, this proposal is known as IMT-MC. The major difference between the 3GPP and the 3GPP2 approaches into the air interface specification development is that 3GPP has specified a completely new air interface without any constraints from the past, whereas 3GPP2 has specified a system that is backward compatible with IS-95 systems.
N-6
ITU has allocated 230 MHz frequency for the 3G mobile communication system IMT-2000: 1885 ~ 2025MHz in the uplink and 2110~ 2200 MHz in the downlink. Of them, the frequency range of 1980 MHz ~ 2010 MHz (uplink)
and that of 2170 MHz ~ 2200 MHz (downlink) are used for mobile satellite services. As the uplink and the downlink bands are asymmetrical, the use of dual-frequency FDD mode or the single-frequency TDD mode may be considered. This plan was passed in WRC92 and new additional bands were approved on the basis of the WRC-92 in the WRC2000 conference in the year 2000: 806 MHz ~ 960 MHz, 1710 MHz ~ 1885 MHz and 2500 MHz ~ 2690 MHz.
N-7
The WCDMA system uses the following frequency spectrum (bands other than those specified by 3GPP may also be used): Uplink 1920 MHz ~ 1980 MHz and downlink 2110 MHz ~ 2170 MHz. Each carrier frequency has the 5M band
and the duplex spacing is 190 MHz. In America, the used frequency spectrum is 1850 MHz ~ 1910 MHz in the uplink and 1930 MHz ~ 1990 MHz in the downlink and the duplex spacing is 80 MHz.
N-8
Compatible with abundant services and applications of 2G, 3G system has an open integrated service platform to provide a wide prospect for various 3G services.
Features of 3G Services
3G services are inherited from 2G services. In a new architecture, new service capabilities are generated, and more service types are available. Service characteristics vary greatly, so each service features differently. Generally, there are several features as follows:
Compatible backward with all the services provided by GSM. The real-time services (conversational) such as voice service generally have the QoS requirement. The concept of multimedia service (streaming, interactive, background) is introduced.
N-9
Formulated by the European standardization organization 3GPP, the core network evolves on the basis of GSM/GPRS and can thus be compatible with the existing GSM/GPRS networks. It can be based on the TDM, ATM and IP
technologies to evolve towards the all-IP network architecture. Based on the ATM technology, the UTRAN uniformly processes voice and packet services and evolves towards the IP network architecture.
The cdma2000 system is a 3G standard put forward on the basis of the IS-95 standard. Its standardization work is currently undertaken by 3GPP2. Circuit Switched (CS) domain is adapted from the 2G IS95 CDMA network, Packet Switched (PS) domain is A packet network based on the Mobile IP technology. Radio Access Network (RAN) is based on the ATM switch platform, it provides abundant adaptation layer interfaces.
The TD-SCDMA standard is put forward by the Chinese Wireless Telecommunication Standard (CWTS) Group and now it has been merged into the specifications related to the WCDMA-TDD of 3GPP. The core network evolves on the basis of GSM/GPRS. The air interface adopts the TD-SCDMA mode.

N-11
In mobile communication systems, GSM adopts TDMA; WCDMA, cdma2000 and TD-SCDMA adopt CDMA.
N-12
Frequency Division Multiple Access means dividing the whole available spectrum into many single radio channels (transmit/receive carrier pair). Each channel can transmit one-way voice or control information. Analog cellular
system is a typical example of FDMA structure.
Time Division Multiple Access means that the wireless carrier of one bandwidth is divided into multiple time division channels in terms of time (or called timeslot). Each user occupies a timeslot and receives/transmits signals within this specified timeslot. Therefore, it is called time division multiple access. This multiple access mode is adopted in both digital cellular system and GSM. CDMA is a multiple access mode implemented by Spreading Modulation. Unlike FDMA and TDMA, both of which separate the user information in terms of time and frequency, CDMA can transmit the information of multiple users on a channel at the same time. The key is that every information before transmission should be modulated by different Spreading Code to broadband signal, then all the signals should be mixed and send. The mixed signal would be demodulated by different Spreading Code at the different receiver. Because all the Spreading Code is orthogonal, only the information that was be demodulated by same Spreading Code can be reverted in mixed signal.
N-13
In third generation mobile communication systems, WCDMA and cdma2000 adopt frequency division duplex (FDD), TD-SCDMA adopts time division duplex (TDD).

WCDMA including the RAN (Radio Access Network) and the CN (Core Network). The RAN is used to process all the radio-related functions, while the CN is used to process all voice calls and data connections within the UMTS
system, and implements the function of external network switching and routing.
Logically, the CN is divided into the CS (Circuit Switched) Domain and the PS (Packet Switched) Domain. UTRAN, CN and UE (User Equipment) together constitute the whole UMTS system A RNS is composed of one RNC and one or several Node Bs. The Iu interface is used between RNC and CN while the Iub interface is adopted between RNC and Node B. Within UTRAN, RNCs connect with one another through the Iur interface. The Iur interface can connect RNCs via the direct physical connections among them or connect them through the transport network. RNC is used to allocate and control the radio resources of the connected or related Node B. However, Node B serves to convert the data flows between the Iub interface and the Uu interface, and at the same time, it also participates in part of radio resource management.
N-17
The overall structure of the WCDMA network is defined in 3GPP TS 23.002. Now, there are the following three versions: R99, R4, R5. 3GPP began to formulate 3G specifications at the end of 1998 and beginning
of 1999. As scheduled, the R99 version would be completed at the end of 1999, but in fact it was not completed until March, 2000. To guarantee the investment benefits of operators, the CS domain of R99 version do not fundamentally change., so as to support the smooth transition of GSM/GPRS/3G.
After R99, the version was no longer named by the year. At the same time, the functions of R2000 are implemented by the following two phases: R4 and R5. In the R4 network, MSC as the CS domain of the CN is divided into the MSC Server and the MGW, at the same time, a SGW is added, and HLR can be replaced by HSS (not explicitly specified in the specification).
In the R5 network, the end-to-end VOIP is supported and the core network adopts plentiful new function entities, which have thus changed the original call procedures. With IMS (IP Multimedia Subsystem), the network can use HSS instead of HLR. In the R5 network, HSDPA (High Speed Downlink Packet Access) is also supported, it can support high speed data service. In the R6 network, the HSUPA is supported which can provide UL service rate up to 5.76Mbps. And MBMS (MultiMedia Broadcast Multicast Service) is also supported.

The layer 1 supports all functions required for the transmission of bit streams on the physical medium. It is also in charge of measurements function consisting in indicating to higher layers, for example, Frame Error Rate (FER), Signal to Interference Ratio (SIR), interference power and transmit power. The layer 2 protocol is responsible for providing functions such as mapping, ciphering, retransmission and segmentation. It is made of four sublayers: MAC (Medium Access Control), RLC (Radio Link Control), PDCP (Packet Data Convergence Protocol) and BMC (Broadcast/Multicast Control). The layer 3 is split into 2 parts: the access stratum and the non access stratum. The access stratum part is made of RRC (Radio Resource Control) entity and duplication avoidance entity. The non access stratum part is made of CC, MM parts. Not shown on the figure are connections between RRC and all the other protocol layers (RLC, MAC, PDCP, BMC and L1), which provide local inter-layer control services. The protocol layers are located in the UE and the peer entities are in the NodeB or the RNC.
N-20
Protocol structures in UTRAN terrestrial interfaces are designed according to the same general protocol model. This model is shown in above slide. The structure is based on the principle that the layers and planes are logically independent of each other and, if needed, parts of the protocol structure may be changed in the future while other parts remain intact. Horizontal Layers
The protocol structure consists of two main layers, the Radio Network Layer (RNL) and the Transport Network Layer (TNL). All UTRAN-related issues are visible only in the Radio Network Layer, and the Transport Network Layer represents standard transport technology that is selected to be used for UTRAN but without any UTRAN-specific changes.
Vertical Planes
Control Plane
The Control Plane is used for all UMTS-specific control signaling. It includes the Application Protocol (i.e. RANAP in Iu, RNSAP in Iur and NBAP in Iub), and the Signaling Bearer for transporting the Application Protocol messages. The Application Protocol is used, among other things, for setting up bearers to the UE (i.e. the Radio Access Bearer in Iu and subsequently the Radio Link in Iur and Iub). In the three plane structure the bearer parameters Confidential Information of Huawei.

Protocol Structure for Iu CS
The Iu CS overall protocol structure is depicted in above slide. The three planes in the Iu interface share a common ATM
(Asynchronous Transfer Mode) transport which is used for all planes. The physical layer is the interface to the physical medium: optical fiber, radio link or copper cable. The physical layer implementation can be selected from a variety of standard offthe-shelf transmission technologies, such as SONET, STM1, or E1.
Iu CS Control Plane Protocol Stack
The Control Plane protocol stack consists of RANAP, on top of Broadband (BB) SS7 (Signaling System #7) protocols. The applicable layers are the Signaling Connection Control Part (SCCP), the Message Transfer Part (MTP3-b) and SAAL-NNI (Signaling ATM Adaptation Layer for Network to Network Interfaces).
Iu CS Transport Network Control Plane Protocol Stack
The Transport Network Control Plane protocol stack consists of the Signaling Protocol for setting up AAL2 connections (Q.2630.1 and adaptation layer Q.2150.1), on top of BB SS7 protocols. The applicable BB SS7 are those described above without the SCCP layer. Confidential Information of Huawei. No Spreading Without Permission

The Iu PS protocol structure is represented in above slide. Again, a common ATM transport is applied for both User and Control Plane. Also the physical layer is as specified for Iu CS.
Iu PS Control Plane Protocol Stack
The Control Plane protocol stack consists of RANAP, on top of Broadband (BB) SS7 (Signaling System #7) protocols. The applicable layers are the Signaling Connection Control Part (SCCP), the Message Transfer Part (MTP3-b) and SAAL-NNI (Signaling ATM Adaptation Layer for Network to Network Interfaces).
Iu PS Transport Network Control Plane Protocol Stack
The Transport Network Control Plane is not applied to Iu PS. The setting up of the GTP tunnel requires only an identifier for the tunnel, and the IP addresses for both directions, and these are already included in the RANAP RAB Assignment messages.
Iu PS User Plane Protocol Stack
In the Iu PS User Plane, multiple packet data flows are multiplexed on one or several AAL5 PVCs. The GTP-U (User Plane
part of the GPRS Tunneling Protocol) is the multiplexing layer that provides identities for individual packet data flow. Each
N-24
The Iub interface is the terrestrial interface between NodeB and RNC. The Radio Network Layer defines procedures related to the operation of the NodeB. The Transport Network Layer defines procedures for
establishing physical connections between the NodeB and the RNC.
The Iub application protocol, NodeB application part ( NBAP ) initiates the establishment of a signaling connection over Iub . It is divided into two essential components, CCP and NCP. NCP is used for signaling that initiates a UE context for a dedicated UE or signals that is not related to specific UE. Example of NBAP-C procedure are cell configuration , handling of common channels and radio link setup CCP is used for signaling relating to a specific UE context. SAAL is an ATM Adaptation Layer that supports communication between signaling entities over an ATM link. The user plane Iub Frame Protocol ( FP ), defined the structure of the frames and the basic in band control procedure for every type of transport channel. There are DCH-FP, RACH-FP, FACH-FP, HS-DSCH FP and PCH FP.

N-28
AMR is compatible with current mobile communication system (GSM, IS-95, PDC and so on), thus, it will make multi-mode terminal design easier. The AMR codec offers the possibility to adapt the coding scheme to the radio
channel conditions. The most robust codec mode is selected in bad propagation conditions. The codec mode providing the highest source rate is selected in good propagation conditions.
During an AMR communication, the receiver measures the radio link quality and must return to the transmitter either the quality measurements or the actual codec mode the transmitter should use during the next frame. That exchange has to be done as fast as possible in order to better follow the evolution of the channels quality.

Scrambling can make transmission in security. Through the modulation, the signals will transfer to radio signals from digital signals.

N-30
During the transmission, there are many interferences and fading. To guarantee reliable transmission, system should overcome these influence through the channel coding which includes block coding, channel coding and
interleaving.
Block coding: The encoder adds some redundant bits to the block of bits and the decoder uses them to determine whether an error has occurred during the transmission. This is used to calculate Block Error Ratio (BLER) used in the outer loop power control. The CRC (Cyclic Redundancy Check) is used for error checking of the transport blocks at the receiving end. The CRC length that can be inserted has four different values: 0, 8, 12, 16 and 24 bits. The more bits the CRC contains, the lower is the probability of an undetected error in the transport block in the receiver.
Note that certain types of block codes can also be used for error correction, although these are not used in WCDMA.
N-31
UTRAN employs two FEC schemes: convolutional codes and turbo codes. The idea is to add redundancy to the transmitted bit stream, sO that occasional bit errors can be corrected in the receiving entity.
The first is convolution that is used for anti-interference. Through the technology, many redundant bits will be inserted in original information. When error code is caused by interference, the redundant bits can be used to recover the original information. Convolutional codes are typically used when the timing constraints are tight. The coded data must contain enough redundant information to make it possible to correct some of the detected errors without asking for repeats.
Turbo codes are found to be very efficient because they can perform close to the theoretical limit set by the Shannons Law. Their efficiency is best with high data rate services, but poor on low rate services. At higher bit rates, turbo coding is more efficient than convolutional coding. In WCDMA network, both Convolution code and Turbo code are used. Convolution code applies to voice service while Turbo code applies to high rate data service. Note that both block codes and channel codes are used in the UTRAN. The idea behind this arrangement is that the channel decoder (either a convolutional or turbo decoder) tries to correct as many errors as possible, and then the block decoder (CRC check) offers its judgment on whether the resulting information is good enough to be used in the higher layers.
N-32
Channel coding works well against random errors, but it is quite vulnerable to bursts of errors, which are typical in mobile radio systems. The especially fast moving UE in CDMA systems can cause consecutive errors if the power
control is not fast enough to manage the interference. Most coding schemes perform better on random data errors than on blocks of errors. This problem can be eased with interleaving, which spreads the erroneous bits over a longer period of time. By interleaving, no two adjacent bits are transmitted near to each other, and the data errors are randomized.
The longer the interleaving period, the better the protection provided by the time diversity. However, longer interleaving increases transmission delays and a balance must be found between the error resistance capabilities and the delay introduced.

Correlation is used to measure similarity of any two arbitrary signals. It is computed by multiplying the two signals and then summing (integrating) the result over a defined time windows. The two signals of figure (a) are identical
and therefore their correlation is 1 or 100 percent. In figure (b) , however, the two signals are uncorrelated, and therefore knowing one of them does not provide any information on the other.
N-35
By spreading, each symbol is multiplied with all the chips in the orthogonal sequence assigned to the user. The resulting sequence is processed and is then transmitted over the physical channel along with other spread symbols.
In this figure, 4-digit codes are used. The product of the user symbols and the spreading code is a sequence of digits that must be transmitted at 4 times the rate of the original encoded binary signal.
N-36
The receiver dispreads the chips by using the same code used in the transmitter. Notice that under no-noise conditions, the symbols or digits are completely recovered without any error. In reality, the channel is not noise-
free, but CDMA system employ Forward Error Correction techniques to combat the effects of noise and enhance the performance of the system.
When the wrong code is used for dispreading, the resulting correlation yields an average of zero. This is a clear demonstration of the advantage of the orthogonal property of the codes. Whether the wrong code is mistakenly used by the target user or other users attempting to decode the received signal, the resulting correlation is always zero because of the orthogonal property of codes.
N-37
Traditional radio communication systems transmit data using the minimum bandwidth required to carry it as a narrowband signal. CDMA system mix their input data with a fast spreading sequence and transmit a wideband
signal. The spreading sequence is independently regenerated at the receiver and mixed with the incoming wideband signal to recover the original data. The dispreading gives substantial gain proportional to the bandwidth of the spread-spectrum signal. The gain can be used to increase system performance and range, or allow multiple coded users, or both. A digital bit stream sent over a radio link requires a definite bandwidth to be successfully transmitted and received.
N-38
N-39
For common services, the bit rate of voice call is 12.2kbps, the bit rate of video phone is 64kbps, and the highest packet service bit rate is 384kbps(R99). After the spreading, the chip rate of different service all
become 3.84Mcps.
N-40
Spreading means increasing the bandwidth of the signal beyond the bandwidth normally required to accommodate the information. The spreading process in UTRAN consists of two separate operations: channelization and
scrambling.
The first operation is the channelization operation, which transforms every data symbol into a number of chips, thus increasing the bandwidth of the signal. The number of chips per data symbol is called the Spreading Factor (SF). Channelization codes are orthogonal codes, meaning that in ideal environment they do not interfere each other. The second operation is the scrambling operation. Scrambling is used on top of spreading, so it does not change the signal bandwidth but only makes the signals from different sources separable from each other. As the chip rate is already achieved in channelization by the channelization codes, the chip rate is not affected by the scrambling.
N-41
Orthogonal codes are easily generated by starting with a seed of 1, repeating the 1 horizontally and vertically, and then complementing the -1 diagonally. This process is to be continued with the newly generated block until the
desired codes with the proper length are generated. Sequences created in this way are referred as Walsh code.
Channelization uses OVSF code, for keeping the orthogonality of different subscriber physical channels. OVSF can be defined as the code tree illustrated in the following diagram. Channelization code is defined as Cch SF, k,, where, SF is the spreading factor of the code, and k is the sequence of code, 0kSF-1. Each level definition length of code tree is SF channelization code, and the left most value of each spreading code character is corresponding to the chip which is transmitted earliest.
N-42
The channelization codes are Orthogonal Variable Spreading Factor (OVSF) codes. They are used to preserve orthogonality between different physical channels. They also increase the clock rate to 3.84 Mcps. The OVSF codes are defined using a code tree. In the code tree, the channelization codes are individually described by Cch,SF,k, where SF is the Spreading Factor of the code and k the code number, 0 k SF-1. A channelization sequence modulates one users bit. Because the chip rate is constant, the different lengths of codes enable to have different user data rates. Low SFs are reserved for high rate services while high SFs are for low rate services. The length of an OVSF code is an even number of chips and the number of codes (for one SF) is equal to the number of chips and to the SF value. The generated codes within the same layer constitute a set of orthogonal codes. Furthermore, any two codes of different layers are orthogonal except when one of the two codes is a mother code of the other. For example C4,3 is not orthogonal with C1,0 and C2,1, but is orthogonal with C2,0. SF in uplink is from 4 to 256. SF in downlink is from 4 to 512.
N-43
For voice service (AMR), downlink SF is 128, it means there are 128 voice services maximum can be supported in one WCDMA carrier; For Video Phone (64k packet data) service, downlink SF is 32, it means there
are 32 voice services maximum can be supported in one WCDMA carrier.
N-44
In addition to spreading, part of the process in the transmitter is the scrambling operation. This is needed to separate terminals or base stations from each other.
N-45
Different scrambling codes will be planned to different cells in downlink. Different scrambling codes will be allocated to different UEs in uplink. The scrambling code is always applied to one 10 ms frame. In UMTS, Gold codes are chosen for their very low peak cross-correlation.
N-46
There are totally 512 primary scrambling codes defined by 3GPP. They are further divided into 64 primary scrambling code groups. There are 8 primary scrambling codes in every group. Each cell is allocated with only one primary
scrambling code.

A data-modulation scheme defines how the data bits are mixed with the carrier signal, which is always a sine wave. There are three basic ways to modulate a carrier signal in a digital sense: amplitude shift keying (ASK),
frequency shift keying (FSK), and phase shift keying (PSK).

In ASK the amplitude of the carrier signal is modified by the digital signal. In FSK the frequency of the carrier signal is modified by the digital signal. The PSK family is the most widely used modulation scheme in modern cellular systems. There are many variants in this family, and only a few of them are mentioned here.
N-51
In binary phase shift keying (BPSK) modulation, each data bit is transformed into a separate data symbol. The mapping rule is 1 > + 1 and 0 > 1. There are only two possible phase shifts in BPSK, 0 and radians.
NRZ means none return zero.
N-52
The quadrature phase shift keying (QPSK) modulation has four phases: 0, /2, , and 3/2 radians. Two data bits are transformed into one complex data symbol; A symbol is any change (keying) of the carrier.
N-53
N-54
N-55
The UTRAN air interface uses QPSK modulation in the downlink, although HSDPA may also employ 16 Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (16QAM). 16QAM requires good radio conditions to work well. As seen, with 16QAM
also the amplitude of the signal matters.
As explained, in QPSK one symbol carries two data bits; in 16QAM each symbol includes four bits. Thus, a QPSK system with a chip rate of 3.84Mcps could theoretically transfer 2 3.84 = 7.68 Mbps, and a 16QAM system could transfer 4 3.84 Mbps = 15.36 Mbps. In 3GPP also the usage of 64QAM with HSDPA has been studied.

A mobile communication channel is a multi-path fading channel and any transmitted signal reaches a receive end by means of multiple transmission paths, such as direct transmission, reflection, scatter, etc.
N-58
N-59
Furthermore, with the moving of a mobile station, the signal amplitude, delay and phase on various transmission paths vary with time and place. Therefore, the levels of received signals are fluctuating and unstable and these multi-
path signals, if overlaid, will lead to fast fading. Fast fading conforms to Rayleigh distribution. The mid-value field strength of fast fading has relatively gentle change and is called slow fading. Slow fading conforms to lognormal distribution.
N-60
Diversity technology means that after receiving two or more input signals with mutually uncorrelated fading at the same time, the system demodulates these signals and adds them up. Thus, the system can receive more useful
signals and overcome fading.
N-61
Diversity technology is an effective way to overcome overlaid fading. Because it can be selected in terms of frequency, time and space, diversity technology includes frequency diversity, time diversity and space diversity.
Time diversity: Channel coding

Frequency diversity: WCDMA is a kind of frequency diversity. The signal energy is distributed on the whole bandwidth. Space diversity: using two antennas
N-62
The RAKE receiver is a technique which uses several baseband correlators to individually process multipath signal components. The outputs from the different correlators are combined to achieve improved reliability and
performance.
When WCDMA system is designed for cellular system, the inherent widebandwidth signals with their orthogonal Walsh functions were natural for implementing a RAKE receiver. In WCDMA system, the bandwidth is wider than the coherence bandwidth of the cellular. Thus, when the multi-path components are resolved in the receiver, the signals from different paths are uncorrelated with each other. The receiver can then combine them using some combining schemes. So with RAKE receiver WCDMA system can use the multi-path characteristics of the channel to get signal with better quality.

UTRAN: UMTS Terrestrial Radio Access Network. The UTRAN consists of a set of Radio Network Subsystems connected to the Core Network through the Iu interface. A RNS consists of a Radio Network Controller and one or more NodeBs. A NodeB is connected to the RNC through the Iub interface. Inside the UTRAN, the RNCs of the RNS can be interconnected together through the Iur. Iu(s) and Iur are logical interfaces. Iur can be conveyed over direct physical connection between RNCs or virtual networks using any suitable transport network.
N-66
RAB: The service that the access stratum provides to the non-access stratum for transfer of user data between User Equipment and CN. RB: The service provided by the layer 2 for transfer of user data between User Equipment and Serving RNC. RL: A "radio link" is a logical association between single User Equipment and a single UTRAN access point. Its physical realization comprises one or more radio bearer transmissions.
N-67
N-68
In terms of protocol layer, the WCDMA radio interface has three types of channels: physical channel, transport channel and logical channel. Logical channel: Carrying user services directly. According to the types
of the carried services, it is divided into two types: control channel and service channel.
Transport channel: It is the interface between radio interface layer 2 and layer 1, and it is the service provided for MAC layer by the physical layer. According to whether the information transported is dedicated information for a user or common information for all users, it is divided into dedicated channel and common channel. Physical channel: It is the ultimate embodiment of all kinds of information when they are transmitted on radio interface. Each channel which uses dedicated carrier frequency, code (spreading code and scramble) and carrier phase (I or Q) can be regarded as a physical channel.
N-69
As in GSM, UMTS uses the concept of logical channels. A logical channel is characterized by the type of information that is transferred.
As in GSM, logical channels can be divided into two groups: control channels for control plane information and traffic channel for user plane information.
The traffic channels are:
Dedicated Traffic Channel (DTCH): a point-to-point bi-directional channel, that transmits dedicated user information between a UE and the network. That information can be speech, circuit switched data or packet switched data. The payload bits on this channel come from a higher layer application (the AMR codec for example). Control bits can be added by the RLC (protocol information) in case of a non transparent transfer. The MAC sub-layer will also add a header to the RLC PDU. Common Traffic Channel (CTCH): a point-to-multipoint downlink channel for transfer of dedicated user information for all or a group of specified UEs. This channel is used to broadcast BMC messages. These messages can either be cell broadcast data from higher layers or schedule messages for support of Discontinuous Reception (DRX) of cell broadcast data at the UE. Cell broadcast messages are services offered by the operator, like indication of weather, traffic, location or rate information.
N-71
In order to carry logical channels, several transport channels are defined. They are:
Broadcast Channel (BCH): a downlink channel used for broadcast of system information into the entire cell. Paging Channel (PCH): a downlink channel used for broadcast of control information into the entire cell, such as paging. Random Access Channel (RACH): a contention based uplink channel used for initial access or for transmission of relatively small amounts of data (non real-time dedicated control or traffic data). Forward Access Channel (FACH): a common downlink channel used for dedicated signaling (answer to a RACH typically), or for transmission of relatively small amounts of data.
Dedicated Channel (DCH): a channel dedicated to one UE used in uplink or downlink.
N-72
Now we will begin to discuss the physical channel. Physical channel is the most important and complex channel, and a physical channel is defined by a specific carrier frequency, code and relative phase. In
CDMA system, the different code (scrambling code or spreading code) can distinguish the channel. Most channels consist of radio frames and time slots, and each radio frame consists of 15 time slots. There are two types of physical channel: UL and DL.
N-73
The different physical channels are: Synchronization Channel (SCH): used for cell search procedure. There is the primary and the secondary SCHs. Common Control Physical Channel (CCPCH): used to carry common control information such as the scrambling code used in DL (there is a primary CCPCH and additional secondary CCPCH). Common Pilot Channels (P-CPICH and S-CPICH): used for coherent detection of common channels. They indicate the phase reference. Dedicated Physical Data Channel (DPDCH): used to carry dedicated data coming from layer 2 and above (coming from DCH). Dedicated Physical Control Channel (DPCCH): used to carry dedicated control information generated in layer 1 (such as pilot, TPC and TFCI bits). Page Indicator Channel (PICH): carries indication to inform the UE that paging information is available on the S-CCPCH. Acquisition Indicator Channel (AICH): it is used to inform a UE that the network has received its access request. High Speed Physical Downlink Shared Channel (HS-PDSCH): it is used to carry subscribers BE service data (mapping on HSDPA) coming from layer 2. High Speed Shared Control Channel (HS-SCCH): it is used to carry control message to HS-PDSCH such as modulation scheme, UE ID etc.

The different physical channels are:
Dedicated Physical Data Channel (DPDCH): used to carry dedicated data coming from layer 2 and above (coming from DCH). Dedicated Physical Control Channel (DPCCH): used to carry dedicated control information generated in layer 1 (such as pilot, TPC and TFCI bits). Physical Random Access Channel (PRACH): used to carry random access information when a UE wants to access the network. High Speed Dedicated Physical Control Channel (HS-DPCCH): it is used to carry feedback message to HS-PDSCH such CQI,ACK/NACK.

N-76
When a UE is turned on, the first thing it does is to scan the UMTS spectrum and find a UMTS cell. After that, it has to find the primary scrambling code used by that cell in order to be able to decode the BCCH (for system information). This is done with the help of the Synchronization Channel. Each cell of a NodeB has its own SCH timing, so that there is no overlapping. The SCH is a pure downlink physical channel broadcasted over the entire cell. It is transmitted unscrambled during the first 256 chips of each time slot, in time multiplex with the P-CCPCH. It is the only channel that is not spread over the entire radio frame. The SCH provides the primary scrambling code group (one out of 64 groups), as well as the radio frame and time slot synchronization. The SCH consists of two sub-channels, the primary and secondary SCH. These sub-channels are sent in parallel using code division during the first 256 chips of each time slot. P-SCH always transmits primary synchronization code. S-SCH transmits secondary synchronization codes. The primary synchronization code is repeated at the beginning of each time slot. The same code is used by all the cells and enables the mobiles to detect the existence of the UMTS cell and to synchronize itself on the time slot boundaries. This is normally done with a single matched filter or any similar device. The slot timing of the cell is obtained by detecting peaks in the matched filter output. This is the first step of the of cell searchNo procedure. The second step is Confidential Information Huawei. Spreading Without Permission done using the secondary synchronization channel.
N-77
The S-SCH also consists of a code, the Secondary Synchronization Code (SSC) that indicates which of the 64 scrambling code groups the cells downlink scrambling code belongs to. 16 different SSCs are defined.
Each SSC is a 256 chip long sequence.
There is one specific SSC transmitted in each time slot, giving us a sequence of 15 SSCs. There is a total of 64 different sequences of 15 SSCs, corresponding to the 64 primary scrambling code groups. These 64 sequences are constructed so that one sequence is different from any other one, and different from any rotated version of any sequence. The UE correlates the received signal with the 16 SSCs and identifies the maximum correlation value. The S-SCH provides the information required to find the frame boundaries and the downlink scrambling code group (one out of 64 groups). The scrambling code (one out of 8) can be determined afterwards by decoding the P-CPICH. The mobile will then be able to decode the BCH.
N-78
The Common Pilot Channel (CPICH) is a pure physical control channel broadcasted over the entire cell. It is not linked to any transport channel. It consists of a sequence of known bits that are transmitted in parallel with the primary and secondary CCPCH. The PCPICH is used by the mobile to determine which of the 8 possible primary scrambling codes is used by the cell, and to provide the phase reference for common channels. Finding the primary scrambling code is done during the cell search procedure through a symbol-by-symbol correlation with all the codes within the code group. After the primary scrambling code has been identified, the UE can decode system information on the P-CCPCH. The P-CPICH is the phase reference for the SCH, P-CCPCH, AICH and PICH. It is broadcasted over the entire cell. The channelization code used to spread the P-CPICH is always Cch,256,0 (all ones). Thus, the PCPICH is a fixed rate channel. Also, it is always scrambled with the primary scrambling code of the cell.
N-79
The Primary Common Control Physical Channel (P-CCPCH) is a fixed rate (SF=256) downlink physical channel used to carry the BCH transport channel. It is broadcasted continuously over the entire cell
like the P-CPICH.
The figure above shows the frame structure of the P-CCPCH. The frame structure is special because it does not contain any layer 1 control bits. The P-CCPCH only has one fix predefined transport format combination, and the only bits transmitted are data bits from the BCH transport channel. It is important to note that the P-CCPCH is not transmitted during the first 256 chips of the slot. In fact, another physical channel (SCH) is transmitted during that period of time. Thus, the SCH and the P-CCPCH are time multiplexed on every time slot.
Channelization code Cch,256,1 is always used to spread the P-CCPCH.
N-80
The Page Indicator Channel (PICH) is a fixed rate (30kbps, SF=256) physical channel used by the NodeB to inform a UE (or a group of UEs) that a paging information will soon be transmitted on the PCH. Thus, the mobile only decodes the S-CCPCH when it is informed to do so by the PICH. This enables to do other processing and to save the mobiles battery. The PICH carries Paging Indicators (PI), which are user specific and calculated by higher layers. It is always associated with the S-CCPCH to which the PCH is mapped. The frame structure of the PICH is illustrated above. It is 10 ms long, and always contains 300 bits (SF=256). 288 of these bits are used to carry paging indicators, while the remaining 12 are not formally part of the PICH and shall not be transmitted. That part of the frame (last 12 bits) is reserved for possible future use. In order not to waste radio resources, several PIs are multiplexed in time on the PICH. Depending on the configuration of the cell, 18, 36, 72 or 144 paging indicators can be multiplexed on one PICH radio frame. Thus, the number of bits reserved for each PI depends of the number of PIs per radio frame. For example, if there is 72 PIs in one radio frame, there will be 4 (288/72) consecutive bits for each PI. These bits are all identical. If the PI in a certain frame is 1, it is an indication that the UE associated with that PI should read the corresponding frame of the S-CCPCH.
N-81
The Secondary Common Control Physical Channel (S-CCPCH) is used to carry the FACH and PCH transport channels. Unlike the P-CCPCH, it is not broadcasted continuously. It is only transmitted when there is a PCH or FACH information to transmit. At the mobile side, the mobile only decodes the S-CCPCH when it expects a useful message on the PCH or FACH. A UE will expect a message on the PCH after indication from the PICH (page indicator channel), and it will expect a message on the FACH after it has transmitted something on the RACH. The FACH and the PCH can be mapped on the same or on separate SCCPCHs. If they are mapped on the same S-CCPCH, TFCI bits have to be sent to support multiple transport formats The figure above shows the frame structure of the S-CCPCH. There are 18 different slot formats determining the exact number of data, pilot and TFCI bits. The data bits correspond to the PCH and/or FACH bits coming from the transport sub-layer. Pilot bit are typically used when beamforming techniques are used. The SF ranges from 4 to 256. The channelization code is assigned by the RRC layer as is the scrambling code, and they are fixed during the communication. They are sent on the BCCH so that every UE can decode the channel. As said before, FACH can be used to carry user data. The difference with the dedicated channel is that it cannot use fast power control, nor soft handover. The advantage is thatNo it is a fast access channel. Confidential Information of Huawei. Spreading Without Permission
N-82
The Physical Random Access Channel (PRACH) is used by the UE to access the network and to carry small data packets. It carries the RACH transport channel. The PRACH is an open loop power control channel,
with contention resolution mechanisms (ALOHA approach) to enable a random access from several users.
The PRACH is composed of two different parts: the preamble part and the message part that carries the RACH message. The preamble is an identifier which consists of 256 repetitions of a 16 chip long signature (total of 4096 chips). There are 16 possible signatures, basically, the UE randomly selects one of the 16 possible preambles and transmits it at increasing power until it gets a response from the network (on the AICH). That preamble is scrambled before being sent. That is a sign that the power level is high enough and that the UE is authorized to transmit, which it will do after acknowledgment from the network. If the UE doesnt get a response from the network, it has to select a new signature to transmit.
The message part is 10 or 20 ms long (split into 15 or 30 time slots) and is made of the RACH data and the layer 1 control information.
N-83
The data and control bits of the message part are processed in parallel. The SF of the data part can be 32, 64, 128 or 256 while the SF of the control part is always 256. The control part consists of 8 pilot bits for
channel estimation and 2 TFCI bits to indicate the transport format of the RACH (transport channel), for a total of 10 bits per slot.
The OVSF codes to use (one for RACH data and one for control) depend on the signature that was used for the preamble (for signatures s=0 to s=15: OVSFcontrol= Cch,256,m, where m=16s + 15; OVSFdata= Cch,SF,m, where m=SF*s/16.
N-84
The PRACH transmission is based on the access frame structure. The access frame is access of 15 access slots and lasts 20 ms (2 radio frames). To avoid too many collisions and to limit interference, a UE must wait at least 3 or 4 access slots between two consecutive preambles. The PRACH resources (access slots and preamble signatures) can be divided between different Access Service Classes (ASC) in order to provide different priorities of RACH usage. The ASC number ranges from 0 (highest priority) to 7 (lowest priority).
N-85
The Acquisition Indicator Channel (AICH) is a common downlink channel used to control the uplink random accesses. It carries the Acquisition Indicators (AI), each corresponding to a signature on the PRACH (uplink). When the NodeB receives the random access from a mobile, it sends back the signature of the mobile to grant its access. If the NodeB receives multiple signatures, it can sent all these signatures back by adding the together. At reception, the UE can apply its signature to check if the NodeB sent an acknowledgement (taking advantage of the orthogonality of the signatures). The AICH consists of a burst of data transmitted regularly every access slot frame. One access slot frame is formed of 15 access slots, and lasts 2 radio frames (20 ms). Each access slot consists of two parts, an acquisition indicator part of 32 real-valued symbols and a long part during which nothing is transmitted to avoid overlapping due to propagation delays. s (with values 0, +1 and -1, corresponding to the answer from the network to a specific user) and the 32 chip long sequence <bs,j> is given by a predefined table. There are 16 sequences <bs,j>, each corresponding to one PRACH signatures. A maximum of 16 AIs can be sent in each access slot. The user can multiply the received multi-level signal by the signature it used to know if its access was granted. The SF used is always 256 and the OVSF code used by the cell is indicated in system information type 5.
N-86
There are two kinds of uplink dedicated physical channels, the Dedicated Physical Data Channel (DPDCH) and the Dedicated Physical Control Channel (DPCCH). The DPDCH is used to carry the DCH
transport channel. The DPCCH is used to carry the physical sub-layer control bits.

Each DPCCH time slot consists of Pilot, TFCIFBITPC Pilot is used to help demodulation TFCI: transport format control indicator FBI:used for the FBTD. (feedback TX diversity) TPC: used to transport power control command.
N-87
On the figure above, we can see the DPDCH and DPCCH time slot constitution. The parameter k determines the number of symbols per slot. It is related to the spreading factor (SF) of the DPDCH by this
simple equation: SF=256/2k. The DPDCH SF ranges from 4 to 256. The SF for the uplink DPCCH is always 256, which gives us 10 bits per slot. The exact number of pilot, TFCI, TPC and FBI bits is configured by higher layers. This configuration is chosen from 12 possible slot formats. It is important to note that symbols are transmitted during all slots for the DPDCH
N-88
The uplink DPDCH and DPCCH are I/Q code multiplexed. But the downlink DPDCH and DPCCH is time multiplexed. This is main difference.
Basically, there are two types of downlink DPCH. They are distinguished by the use or non use of the TFCI field. TFCI bits are not used for fixed rate services or when the TFC doesnt change.
N-89
We have known that the uplink DPDCH and DPCCH are I/Q code multiplexed. But the downlink DPDCH and DPCCH is time multiplexed. This is main difference. The parameter k in the figure above determines
the total number of bits per time slot. It is related to the SF, which ranges from 4 to 512. The chips of one slot is also 2560.
Downlink physical channels are used to carry user specific information like speech, data or signaling, as well as layer 1 control bits. Like it was mentioned before, the payload from the DPDCH and the control bits from the DPCCH are time multiplexed on every time slot. The figure above shows how these two channels are multiplexed. There is only one DPCCH in downlink for one user.
N-90
HS-PDSCH is a downlink physical channel that carries user data and layer 2 overhead bits mapped from the transport channel: HS-DSCH. The user data and layer 2 overhead bits from HS-DSCH is mapped onto
one or several HS-PDSCH and transferred in 2ms subframe using one or several channelization code with fixed SF=16.
N-91
HS-SCCH uses a SF=128 and has q time structure based on a sub-frame of length 2 ms, i.e. the same length as the HS-DSCH TTI. The timing of HS-SCCH starts two slot prior to the start of the HS-PDSCH subframe.
The following information is carried on the HS-SCCH (7 items)
Modulation scheme(1bit) QPSK or 16QAM Channelization code set (7bits) Transport block size ( 6bits) HARQ process number (3bits) Redundancy version (3bits) New Data Indicator (1bit)
UE identity (16 bits)
In each 2 ms interval corresponding to one HS-DSCH TTI , one HSSCCH carries physical-layer signalling to a single UE. As there should be a possibility for HS-DSCH transmission to multiple users in parallel (code multiplex), multiplex HS-SCCH may be needed in a cell. The specification allows for up to four HS-SCCHs as seen from a UE point of view .i.e. UE must be able to decode four HS-SCCH.
N-92
The uplink HS-DPCCH consists of:
Acknowledgements for HARQ Channel Quality Indicator (CQI)
As the HS-DPCCH uses SF=256, there are a total of 30 channel bits per 2 ms sub frame (3 time slot). The HS-DPCCH information is divided in such a way that the HARQ acknowledgement is transmitted in the first slot of the subframe while the channel quality indication is transmitted in the rest slot.
N-93
This page indicates how the mapping can be done between logical, transport and physical channels. Not all physical channels are represented because not all physical channels correspond to a
transport channel.
The mapping between logical channels and transport channels is done by the MAC sub-layer. Different connections can be made between logical and transport channels:
BCCH is connected to BCH and may also be connected to FACH; DTCH can be connected to either RACH and FACH, to RACH and DSCH, to DCH and DSCH, to a DCH or a CPCH;
CTCH is connected to FACH;

DCCH can be connected to either RACH and FACH, to RACH and DSCH, to DCH and DSCH, to a DCH or a CPCH; PCCH is connected to PCH; CCCH is connected to RACH and FACH.
These connections depend on the type of information on the logical channels.

N-94
N-95
The purpose of the Cell Search Procedure is to give the UE the possibility of finding a cell and of determining the downlink scrambling code and frame synchronization of that cell. This is typically performed in 3 steps:
PSCH (Slot synchronization): The UE uses the SCHs primary synchronization code to acquire slot synchronization to a cell. The primary synchronization code is used by the UE to detect the existence of a cell and to synchronize the mobile on the TS boundaries. This is typically done with a single filter (or any similar device) matched to the primary synchronization code which is common to all cells. The slot timing of the cell can be obtained by detecting peaks in the matched filter output. SSCH (Frame synchronization and code-group identification): The secondary synchronization codes provide the information required to find the frame boundaries and the group number. Each group number corresponds to a unique set of 8 primary scrambling codes. The frame boundary and the group number are provided indirectly by selecting a suite of 15 secondary codes. 16 secondary codes have been defined C1, C2, .C16. 64 possible suites have been defined, each suite corresponds to one of the 64 groups. Each suite of secondary codes is composed of 15 secondary codes (chosen in the set of 16), each of which will be transmitted in one time slot. When the received codes matches one of the possible suites, the UE has both determined the frame boundary and the group number. PCPICH (Scrambling-code identification): The UE determines the exact primary scrambling code used by theWithout found Permission cell. The Confidential Information of Huawei. No Spreading primary scrambling code is typically identified through symbolby-symbol correlation over the PCPICH with all the codes within

N-97
Transmitter-antenna diversity can be used to generate multi-path diversity in places where it would not otherwise exist. Multi-path diversity is a useful phenomenon, especially if it can be controlled. It
can protect the UE against fading and shadowing. TX diversity is designed for downlink usage. Transmitter diversity needs two antennas, which would be an expensive solution for the UEs.
The UTRA specifications divide the transmitter diversity modes into two categories: (1) open-loop mode and (2) closed-loop mode. In the open-loop mode no feedback information from the UE to the NodeB is available. Thus the UTRAN has to determine by itself the appropriate parameters for the TX diversity. In the closed-loop mode the UE sends feedback information up to the NodeB in order to optimize the transmissions from the diversity antennas.
Thus it is quite natural that the open-loop mode is used for the common channels, as they typically do not provide an uplink return channel for the feedback information. Even if there was a feedback channel, the NodeB cannot really optimize its common channel transmissions according to measurements made by one particular UE. Common channels are common for everyone; what is good for one UE may be bad for another. The closed-loop mode is used for dedicated physical channels, as they have an existing uplink channel for feedback information. Note that shared channels can also employ closed loop Confidential Information of Huawei. No Spreading Without Permission power control, as they are allocated for only one user at a time, and they also have a return channel in the uplink. There are two specified
N-98
The TX diversity methods in the open-loop mode are
space time-block coding-based transmit-antenna diversity (STTD) time-switched transmit diversity (TSTD).
In STTD the data to be transmitted is divided between two transmission antennas at the base station site and transmitted simultaneously. The channel-coded data is processed in blocks of four bits. The bits are time reversed and complex conjugated, as shown in above slide. The STTD method, in fact, provides two brands of diversity. The physical separation of the antennas provides the space diversity, and the time difference derived from the bit-reversing process provides the time diversity.
These features together make the decoding process in the receiver more reliable. In addition to data signals, pilot signals are also transmitted via both antennas. The normal pilot is sent via the first antenna and the diversity pilot via the second antenna. The two pilot sequences are orthogonal, which enables the receiving UE to extract the phase information for both antennas. The STTD encoding is optional in the UTRAN, but its support is mandatory for the UEs receiver.
N-99
Time-switched transmit diversity (TSTD) can be applied to the SCH. Just like STTD, the support of TSTD is optional in the UTRAN, but mandatory in the UE. The principle of TSTD is to transmit the
synchronization channels via the two base station antennas in turn. In even-numbered time slots the SCHs are transmitted via antenna 1, and in odd-numbered slots via antenna 2. This is depicted in above Figure. Note that SCH channels only use the first 256 chips of each time slot (i.e., one-tenth of each slot).
N-100
The closed-loop-mode transmit diversity can only be applied to the downlink channel if there is an associated uplink channel. Thus this mode can only be used with dedicated channels. The chief operating
principle of the closed loop mode is that the UE can control the transmit diversity in the base station by sending adjustment commands in FBI bits on the uplink DPCCH. The UE uses the base stations common pilot channels to estimate the channels separately. Based on this estimation, it generates the adjustment information and sends it to the UTRAN to maximize the UEs received power.
There are actually two modes in the closed-loop method. In mode 1 only the phase can be adjusted; in mode 2 the amplitude is adjustable as well as the phase. Each uplink time slot has one FBI bit for closedloop-diversity control. In mode 1 each bit forms a separate adjustment command, but in mode 2 four bits are needed to compose a command. This functions can be configured by LMT command ADD CELLSETUP.
