Physical Channels(1)
The physical channel is in a 3-layer structure by the time:
Superframe
One superframe lasts 720ms, and consists of 72 radio frames.
radio frame
One radio frame has a period of 10ms, and comprises 15
timeslots with the same length. Corresponding to 38400 chips,
it is a basic unit of the physical layer.
Timeslot
A timeslot is a unit composed of a bit domain, corresponding
to 2560 chips. The bit number and structure of a timeslot
depends on the specific type of the physical channel.

CPICH
There is 2 types of CPICH:P-CPICH and S-PICH
P-CPICH:
P-CPICH of different cell uses the same Cch,256,0 OVSF code to spread ,the bit rate
of P-CPICH is also fixed.
The P-CPICH is scrambled by the primary scrambling code.
There is one and only P-CPICH per cell. The P-CPICH is broadcast over the entire cell. it is used to search cell primary
scrambling code during cell selection procedure. And it is also used for
measurement and estimation during handover, cell selection and cell re-selection.
S-CPICH:
A arbitrary channelization code of SF=256 is used for the S-CPICH.
A S-CPICH is scrambled by either the primary or a secondary scrambling code.
There may be 0,1 or several S-CPICH per cell.
A S-CPICH may be transmitted over the entire cell or part of the cell. It is may be a
phase reference for a dl DPCH, but it is decided by high layer signalling.

SCH (1)
The Synchronization Channel (SCH) is a downlink signal used for cellsearch.
The SCH consists of two sub channels, the Primary and SecondarySCH.
The 10 ms radio frames of the Primary and Secondary SCH are
divided into 15 slots, each of length 2560 chips.

SCH (2)
P-SCH
The Primary SCH consists of a modulated code of length 256 chips. The
modulated code need not spreading and scrambling.
The primary synchronization code (PSC) is transmitted once every slot
The PSC is the same for every cell in the system.
S-SCH
The Secondary SCH consists of repeatedly transmitting a length 15
sequence of modulated codes of length 256 chips.
the Secondary Synchronization Codes (SSC), transmitted in parallel with
the Primary SCH.
Each SSC is chosen from a set of 16 different codes of length 256.
This sequence on the Secondary SCH indicates which of the code groups
the cell's downlink scrambling code belongs to.

Cell search procedure (1)
The cell search is typically carried out in three steps:
Step1:Slot synchronization
During the first step of the cell search procedure the UE uses the
SCH's primary synchronization code to acquire slot
synchronization to a cell.
This is typically done with a single matched 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.

Cell search procedure (2)
Step2: Frame synchronization and code-group identification
During the second step of the cell search procedure, the UE uses the
SCH's secondary synchronization code to find frame synchronization
and identify the code group of the cell found in the first step.
This is done by correlating the received signal with all possible
secondary synchronization code sequences, and identifying the
maximum correlation value. Since the cyclic shifts of the sequences
are unique the code group as well as the frame synchronization is
determined.

Cell search procedure (3)
Step3: Scrambling-code identification
During the third and last step of the cell search procedure, the UE
determines the exact primary scrambling code used by the found
cell.
The primary scrambling code is typically identified through symbol-
by-symbol correlation over the CPICH with all codes within the
code group identified in the second step.
After the primary scrambling code has been identified, the
Primary CCPCH can be detected and the system- and cell
specific BCH information can be read.
