WCDMA Spreading Code: Walsh Code

Important Relations: SF is inversely proportional to SERVICE RATE. SF = Chip Rate / Service Rate Chip Rate is constant (3.84 Mcps)

The message is transmitted in one LA or RA according to LAI or RAI. After calculating the paging time, the paging message will be transmitted at that time. If UE is in CELL PCH or URA PCH state, the UTRAN transmits the paging information in PAGING TYPE 1 message to UE. After received paging message, UE performs a cell update procedure to transit state to CELL FACH.

Call Process

In WCDMA system, a call process includes the following basic signaling flows: RRC connection flow Direct transfer message flow Authentication flow (optional) Security flow (optional) RAB establish flow Call proceeding NAS signaling before correlative bearer release Correlative bearer release

Concepts about HandOver

Make before break. Soft handover: the signals from different NodeBs are merged in RNC Softer handover: the signals from different cells, but from same NodeB are merged in NodeB. Terminologies:

Active set set of cells currently used by UE. Monitor set set of cells that are not in the active set but are being observed by the UE based on the neighboring cell information from the UTRAN. Detected set set of cells that have been detected by the UE but do not belong to the active set or the observation set.
