WCDMA Radio Interface has three kinds of channels

In terms of protocol layer, the WCDMA radio interface has three channels: Physical channel transport channel and logical channelchannels: 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 channelchannel and service channel.

Transport channel: It is the interface of radio interface layer 2 and physical layer, and is the service provided for MAC layer by the h i l l A di t h th th i f ti t t d iphysical 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 interfaces. Each kind of channel which uses dedicated carrier frequency, code (spreading code

Physical ChannelPhysical Channel

A physical channel is defined by a specific carrier frequency, code (scrambling code, spreading code) and relative phase.

In UMTS system, the different code (scrambling code or spreading d ) di ti i h th h lcode) can distinguish the channels.

Most channels consist of radio frames and time slots, and each radio frame consists of 15 time slotsframe consists of 15 time slots.

Cell SynchronisationCell synchronisation is achieved with the Synchronisation Channel (SCH). This channel divides up into two sub-channels:

1 Primary Synchronisation Channel (P-SCH)1. Primary Synchronisation Channel (P-SCH) (SLOT and CHIP SYNCHRONIZATION)A Primary Synchronisation Code (PSC) is transmitted the first 256 chips of a time slot. This is the case in every UMTS cell. If the UE detects the PSC, it has performed TS and chip synchronisation. This is typically done with a single matched filter matched to the primary synchronization code which is common for all cellsdone with a single matched filter matched to the primary synchronization code which is common for all cells. The slot timing of the cell can be obtained by decoding peaks in the matched filter output

P-CPICH as measurements referencef f f f C CUE has to perform a set of L1 measurements, some of them refer to the CPICH channel:

• CPICH RSCPRSCP stands for Received Signal Code Power. The UE measures the RSCP on the Primary-CPICH. The g yreference point for the measurement is the antenna connector of the UE. The CPICH RSCP is a power measurement of the CPICH. The received code power may be high, but it does not yet indicate the quality of the received signal, which depends on the overall noise level.

• UTRA carrier RSSI.RSSI stands for Received Signal Strength Indicator. The UE measures the received wide band power, which includes thermal noise and receiver generated noise. The reference point for the measurements is the antenna connector of the UEantenna connector of the UE.

• CPICH Ec/NoThe CPICH Ec/No is used to determine the „quality“ of the received signal. It gives the received energy per received chip divided by the band‘s power density The quality“ is the primary CPICH‘s signal strength inreceived chip divided by the band s power density. The „quality is the primary CPICH s signal strength in relation to the cell noise. (Please note, that transport channel quality is determined by BLER, BER, etc. )

• GSM carrier RSSI• GSM carrier RSSIThe wideband measurements are conducted on GSM BCCH carriers.

There are also additional scrambling codes which may be used during compressed modeadditional scrambling codes which may be used during compressed mode.

Each cell within the radio network plan must be assigned a primary scrambling code. There is no need for planners to assign secondary scrambling codes nor the compressed mode scrambling codes.

If we plan the Scrambling Codes efficiently, then the cell search and syncronization process time will be reduced.p

Scrambling code planning may require co-ordination at international borders.

Scrambling code planning can be completed independently for each RF carrier.

Scrambling code planning can be completed using either an automatic function in radio network planning tool (Genex U-Net) or a ‘home-made’ tool e.g. mapbasic. It can also be completed manually for small areascompleted manually for small areas.

Genex U-Net is able to plan scrambling codes according to a specific strategy and exclude specific scrambling codes for future expansion.

Scrambling Code Planning ConceptThe most important rule for scrambling code planning is that the isolation between cells which are p g p gassigned the same scrambling code should be sufficiently great to ensure that a UE never simultaneously receives the same scrambling code from more than a single cell.

DL scrambling code planning can be optimized so that cell reselections take less time. For initial cell g p g pselection, if the UE does not contain any stored information about the cell, then it will need to scan the whole 64 groups. In this scenario, SC planning does not affect the UE’s performance

The scrambling code planning strategy should account for future network expansion. Future network g p g gy pexpansion could mean the inclusion of additional Node B, increased sectorization of existing Node B, or the evolution of Node B Type. Some Scrambling codes should be reserved for this purpose to minimize the impact on the original plan.

Additional rules for scrambling code planning are required at locations close to international borders where there may be another 3G operator using the same RF carrier

Scrambling code planning can be completed independently for different RF carriers. If a radio network g p g p p yincludes Node B which are configured with two or three RF carriers then it is recommended that the same scrambling code plan is assigned to each carrier. This reduces system complexity and helps to reduce the work associated with planning and optimizing the network

Scrambling code planning should be completed in conjunction with neighbor list planning. Scrambling code audits should be completed in combination with neighbor list audits. Checks should be made to ensure that no cells are neighbored to two or more cells which have neighbor lists including the same

Scrambling Code Planning Strategy

The scrambling codes for the same site are allocated in the same scrambling code group

The current cell’s scrambling code cannot be reused by its neighbor cells and neighborThe current cell s scrambling code cannot be reused by its neighbor cells and neighbor cells of other cells which belong to active set;

The scrambling codes of current cell’s neighbor cells cannot be reused by neighbor cells of other cells which belong to active set;

The scrambling code planning can be done to minimize the number of code groups used OR to make sure each code of the neighboring cells are from a different. The 3GPP g gspecifications do not specify which approach is preferred, and it depends on the UE’s implementation. The difference has not been quantified in the field and in practice, is likely to be very small (Huawei recommended different scrambling code group forlikely to be very small (Huawei recommended different scrambling code group for neighbor sites)

Scrambling Code Planning Method

1. Random Code Planning – Randomly allocate the codes from any code groups to the cells. A planner must be aware of the distance g(coverage) between 2 cells using the same SC while utilizing this method.

2. Reuse Code Group Planning – Divide 64 code groups into several sets based on the scale of a network (Hierarchical Cell Structure)

Scrambling Code Planning Method1. Manual Method

When number of site is not much, the manual method can be used e.g. on MapInfo or home-made tools made tools

Locate the sites on MapInfo

For each cell, roughly identify the neighboring cells This step relies heavilyneighboring cells. This step relies heavily on local knowledge, after some drive tests, we should be able to identify the neighbors more accurately.y

Plan the SC in such a way that the primary cell and it’s neighbors are from the different code group. Remember to reserve some g pcodes for future expansion.

Have some minimum distance between two cells if the SC is to be reused. E.g. 5km in gurban areas. No need to plan too tightly.

Repeat this process for the rest of the cell.

An automatic scrambling code planning tool is available in U-Net. The code allocation is based on each cell existing neighborhood.

The following constraints are applied when running the automatic planning algorithm:

Domain constraint :this is required to distinguish different zonesDomain constraint :this is required to distinguish different zones

Groups: it is possible to define scrambling code groups

Exceptional pairs: it is possible to define cell pairs that cannot have the same scrambling codehave the same scrambling code

Reuse distance : a minimum reuse distance is defined

Border Scrambling Code Planning

The same scrambling code might be assigned at the border areas degrading system performance.

To avoid this, there needs to be prior agreement between responsible persons on the allowable scrambling codes used near the border.

Make sure there is enough re-use distance for the used codes on both sides of the border.

WCDMA Power Planning (Downlink)

In a WCDMA system, the capacity on downlink is limited by Node B power which is the common shared resource between the different services and users

In order to ensure system stability, we do not allow the mean transmitting power of the Node B toIn order to ensure system stability, we do not allow the mean transmitting power of the Node B to be more than 80% of the maximum transmitting power

Part of power used for the control channel transmission reduces the overall network capacity for paying trafficpaying traffic.

The coverage of control channels must be large compared to the traffic channels in order for the mobile station to decode other base stations before entering the soft/softer handover zone

The broadcast channel including the cell information has to be decoded before the mobile enters the coverage area of the cell, as a consequence it is necessary to plan how the power in the downlink is distributed between the common channels

Downlink Common Channel Powers

The downlink common channels include the CPICH,P-SCH,S-SCH,P-CCPCH,S-CCPCH,PICH and AICH. There may be more than one S-CCPCH

The P-CCPCH encapsulates the BCH whereas the S-CCPCH encapsulates the PCH, the userThe P CCPCH encapsulates the BCH whereas the S CCPCH encapsulates the PCH, the user plane FACH and the control plane FACH.Other downlink common channels only exists at the physical layer

A fixed downlink transmit power is assigned to each common channel This transmit power mustA fixed downlink transmit power is assigned to each common channel. This transmit power must be sufficient for the common channels to be received reliably across the entire cell.

The common channels consume a significant quantity of downlink transmit power (typically 20-25% f th t t l d li k t it bilit )25% of the total downlink transmit power capability)

The activity of the common channels must be taken into account when computing their average power

The timing of the common channels must be taken into account when computing their peak power
