    INTRODUCTION OF CDMA

    CDMA/WIRELESS COMMUNICATION

    MULTIPLE ACCESSES

    Why there is requirement of multiple access schemes? The answer is thatthe international authority for frequency management has allocated 25 MHzband to the cellular telephony. As we know that today there are manycellular users and to provide service to all of them a large frequency band isrequired. But the band is limited to 25MHz.So different multiple accessschemes are used. It means that multiple access scheme allow number of

    users to use the same band. The different multiple access schemes arementioned below:

    FDMA TDMA CDMA

    FDMAFDMA is the acronym of Frequency Division Multiple Access. FDMA dividesradio channels into a range of radio frequencies and is used in the traditional

    analog cellular system. With FDMA, only one subscriber is assigned to achannel at a time. Other conversations can access this channel only after thesubscriber's call has been terminated or after the original call is handed offto a different channel by the system. FDMA cellular standards include AMPS(Advanced Mobile Phone Service) and TACS (Total Access CommunicationsSystem).

    Both the mobile station and the base station to distinguish betweenconversations use the codes, called pseudo-random code sequences.Depending on the level of mobility of the system, it provides 10 to 20times the capacity of AMPS, and 4 to 7 times the capacity of TDMA.

    INTRODUCTION OF CDMA

    DEFINITION OF CDMA

    Designers and planners of the communication systems are often concernedwith the efficiency with which the systems utilize the signal energy andbandwidth. In most communication systems these are the most importantissues. In some cases, it is necessary for the system to resist externalinterference, to operate at low spectral energy, to provide multiple access

    capability without external control and secure channel not accessible to theoutsiders. Thus, it is sometimes unavoidable to sacrifice some of theefficiency in order to enhance these features. Spread spectrum techniquesallow accomplishing such objectives.

  • 8/7/2019 Tata Traning Report...

    12/33

    Fig. 31 CDMA-C

    The theoretical aspects of using spread spectrum in a strong interference

    environment have been known for over forty years. It is only recently thatpractical implementations became feasible. In the beginning, the spreadspectrum technology was developed and used for military purposes and theirimplementations were too expensive for the commercial applications. Newtechnological advancements such as VLSI, and advanced signal processingtechniques made it possible to develop less expensive spread spectrumequipment for civilian use. Applications of this technology include cellular,wireless data transmission and satellite communications.

    ALL OF THE SPREAD-SPECTRUM SYSTEMS HAVE TO SATISFY TWOCRITERIA:

    The bandwidth of the transmitted signal must be greater than thetransmittedSignal.

    Transmitted bandwidth must be determined by some function that isindependent of the message and is known to the receiver.

    Bandwidth expansion in spread spectrum systems is achieved by using afunction that is independent of the message, thus it is more susceptible towhite noise as opposed to other communication techniques, such as FM andPCM. Spread spectrum techniques have other applications that make itunique and useful.

  • 8/7/2019 Tata Traning Report...

    13/33

    THESE APPLICATIONS INCLUDE:

    1. Anti-jam capability-particularly for narrow-band jamming.2. Interference rejection.

    3. Multiple-access capability.4. Multi-path protection.

    5. Convert operations or low probability of intercept (LPI).

    6. Secure communications.7. Improved spectral efficiency-in special circumstances.8. Ranging.

    CDMA is a wireless communications technology that uses the principle ofspread spectrum communication. The intent of CDMA technology is toprovide increased bandwidth in a limited frequency system, but has alsoother advantages including extended range and more securecommunications. In a CDMA system, a narrowband message signal ismultiplied by a spreading signal, which is a pseudo-noise code sequence thathas a rate much greater than the data rate of the message. CDMA usesthese code sequences as a means of distinguishing between individualconversations. All users in the CDMA system use the same carrier frequencyand may transmit simultaneously. In this document I will be discussingabout CDMA in detail.

    CDMA is a driving technology behind the rapidly advancing personalcommunications industry. Because of its greater bandwidth, efficiency, andmultiple access capabilities, CDMA is becoming a leading technology forrelieving the spectrum congestion caused by the explosion in popularity ofcellular mobile phones, fixed wireless telephones, and wireless dataterminals. Since becoming an officially recognized digital cellular protocol,CDMA is being rapidly implemented in the wireless communications networksof many large communications corporations.

    CDMA stands for "Code Division Multiple Access." It is a form of spread-spectrum, an advanced digital wireless transmission technique. Instead ofusing frequencies or time slots, as do traditional technologies, it usesmathematical codes to transmit and distinguish between multiple wirelessconversations. Its bandwidth is much wider than that required for simplepoint-to-point communications at the same data rate because it uses noise-like carrier waves to spread the information contained in a signal of interestover a much greater bandwidth. However, because the conversations taking

  • 8/7/2019 Tata Traning Report...

    14/33

    place are distinguished by digital codes, many users can share the samebandwidth simultaneously. The advanced methods used in commercial CDMAtechnology improve capacity, coverage and voice quality, leading to a newgeneration of wireless networks.

    Old-fashioned radio receivers separate stations and channels by filtering inthe frequency domain. CDMA receivers, conversely, separate communicationchannels by a pseudo-random modulation that is applied and removed in thedigital domain. Multiple users can therefore occupy the same frequencyband. This universal frequency reuse is crucial to CDMA's distinguishing highspectral efficiency. CDMA has gained international acceptance by cellularradio system operators as an upgrade because of its universal frequencyreuse and noise-like characteristics. CDMA systems provide operators andsubscribers with significant advantages over analog and conventional TDMA-

    based systems.

    THE 850MHZ CDMA BAND IS MOST POPULARLY USED ALL OVER THEWORLD. THIS BAND AS MENTIONED IN THE PREVIOUS SLIDEWORKS BETWEEN

    824-849MHz Used for the Reverse link communication

    869-894MHz Used for the Forward link communication

    The CDMA band is divided into sub bands as shown above. The Total Band of25MHz is divided into small channels of 30 KHz each. An actual CDMA carrierwill be using a multiple of the 30 KHz channels. That means for an actuallyutilized bandwidth of 1.23MHz we will need 41 X 30 KHz channels.

    THE FOLLOWING EQUATION GIVES THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THECHANNEL NUMBERS AND THE ACTUAL FREQUENCY.

    Reverse Link Frequency = (825 + N0.03) MHzForward Link Frequency = (870 + N0.03) MHz

    Where N = CDMA channel number

    15/33

  • 8/7/2019 Tata Traning Report...

    16/33

    at the fundamental frequency and its harmonics, increasing the frequencyresults in a more accurate reconstruction of the original signal. The effectivedrawback of narrow-band data communications is the limitation ofbandwidth; thus signals must be transmitted with enough power so thecorruption by Gaussian noise is not as effective and the probability that the

    data received is correct will remain low. This means that the effective SNRmust be high enough so that the receiver should have no problem inrecovering the transmitted code without error.

    From a system viewpoint, the performance increase for very widebandsystems is referred to as "process gain". This term is used to describe thereceived signal fidelity gained at the cost of bandwidth. Errors introduced bya noisy channel can be reduced to any desired level without sacrificing therate of information transfer using Claude Shannon's equation describing

    channel capacity:

    C=W log 2 (1+S/N)

    Where,

    C = Channel capacity in bits per second,W = Bandwidth,S/N = Energy per bit/Noise power.

    The benefits of increasing bandwidth become clearer. The S/N ratio may bedecreased without decreasing the bit error rate. This means that the signalmay be spread over a large bandwidth with smaller spectral power levelsand still achieve the required data rate. If the total signal power isinterpreted as the area under the spectral density curve, then signals withequivalent total power may have either a large signal power concentrated ina small bandwidth or a small signal power spread over a large bandwidth.

    SPREAD SPECTRUM

    CDMA is a spread spectrum modulation scheme. This implies that thetransmission bandwidth is much larger than the information bandwidth.

    DIRECT SEQUENCE SPREAD SPECTRUM

    In direct sequence modulation the carrier frequency is fixed and thebandwidth of the transmitted signal is larger and independent of thebandwidth of the information signal. Some properties of direct sequencespread spectrum systems are listed in table.

    CDMA CODES

    In discussing CDMA modulation, several different PN sequences or codesare bantered about incessantly. In attempting to make sense out of CDMAmodulation, it is helpful to know the relative length (time period) of thesecodes.

    GENERATION OF PN CODES

    PN code sets can be generated from linear feedback shift registers. One such

    example is shown in Figure. Binary bits are shifted through the differentstages of the register. The output of the last stage and the output of oneintermediate stage are combined and fed as input to the first stage. Theregister starts with an initial sequence of bits, or initial state,Stored in its stages. Then the register is clocked, and bits are movedthrough the stages. This way, the register continues to generate output bitsand feed input bits to its first stage. The output bits of the last stage formthe PN code. Let we demonstrate the code generation using the registershown in Figure. Let initial state is [1, 0, 1] for register. The output of stage3 is the output of the register.After clocking the bits through the register:

    Fig. 36 PN CODE GENERATION THROUGH SHIFT REGISTER

    TYPES OF PN CODES

    PN LONG CODE PN SHORT CODE

    PN LONG CODE

    The Long Code is a PN sequence that is 242 - 1 bits (chips) long. It is

    generated at a rate of 1.2288 Mbps (or MCPc) giving it a period (time before

    the sequence repeats) of approximately 41.4 days. The long code is used to

    encrypt user information. Both the base station and the mobile unit have

    knowledge of this sequence at any given instant in time based on a specified

    private long code mask that is exchanged.

    Long Code Mask governs the generation of a Long Code. A long code mask is42-bit codes which define the initial values used by the long code generator.Knowledge of this long code mask allows the base station or mobile user togenerate the same PN Long Code. Generating the same long code(synchronized in time) at both end of the link allows information to beencrypted and decrypted.

  • 8/7/2019 Tata Traning Report...

    20/33

    A unique and private, long code mask (thus, PN long code) is assigned toeach CDMA user. This code is referred to as a user mask. The user mask isexchanged between the mobile and the serving cell(s)/sector(s), whichallows user traffic data to be encrypted on both the forward and reverse

    links. A different long code mask is used to generate the long code forencryption and decryption of Access and Paging information more on thislater.

    PN SHORT CODES

    The Short Code is a PN sequence that is 215 bits (chips) in length. This

    code is generated at 1.2288 Mbps (or MCPc) giving a period of26.67 ms.

    this code is used for final spreading of the signal and is transmitted as a

    reference known as the Pilot Sequence by the base station. All base

    stations use the same short code. Base stations are differentiated from one

    another by transmitting the PN short code at different offsets in absolute.

    This time offset is known as a PN Offset. All base stations and mobiles

    have knowledge of this code; however, mobile units do not have initial

    knowledge of absolute time. Mobile units initially search (in time) until they

    synchronize with a pilot code transmitted by a base station. The base station

    then conveys timing information to the mobile more on this stuff later.

    WALSH CODES

    CDMA defines a group of 64 orthogonal sequences, each 64 bits long,known as Walsh Codes. These sequences are also referred to as WashFunctions. These codes are generated at 1.2288 Mbps (MCPc) giving them aperiod of approximately 52 s. These are used to identify users on theforward link. For this reason they are loosely referred to as CDMA channels.All base stations and mobile users have knowledge of all Walsh codes.

    Orthogonal functions have zero correlation. Two binary sequences areorthogonal if the process of XORing them results in an equal number of 1sand 0s.

    Example: 0000(XOR) 0101

    ORTHOGONALITY OF WALSH CODES

    CDMA CHANNELS

    Just when one grasps an understanding of the CDMA carrier, which is 1.25MHz wide, someone talks about "traffic channels" and confuses the issue.The fact is that with CDMA, the path by which voice or data passes is the

  • 8/7/2019 Tata Traning Report...

    22/33

    entire carrier. CDMA traffic channels are different: they are dependent onthe equipment platform on which the CDMA is implemented. Mostly channelsare designated in three ways:

    EFFECTIVE TRAFFIC CHANNELS

    The number of "Effective" traffic channels includes the traffic carryingchannels less the soft handoff channels. The capacity of an effective trafficchannel is equivalent to the traffic carrying capacity of an analog trafficchannel.

    ACTUAL TRAFFIC CHANNELS

    The number of "Actual" traffic channels includes the effective trafficchannels, plus channels allocated for soft handoff.

    PHYSICAL TRAFFIC CHANNELS

    The number of "Physical" traffic channels includes the Pilot channels, theSync channels, the Paging channels, the Soft Handoff Overhead channelsand the Effective (voice and data) traffic channels.

    CDMA uses the terms "forward" and "reverse" channels just like they areused in analog systems. Base transmit equates to the forward direction, andbase receive is the reverse direction. ("Forward" is what the subscriber hearsand "reverse" is what the subscriber speaks.)

    Fig. 39 CHANNELS

    CDMA FORWARD CHANNELS

  • 8/7/2019 Tata Traning Report...

    23/33

    PILOT CHANNEL

    The pilot channel is used by the mobile unit to obtain initial systemsynchronization and to provide time, frequency, and phase tracking ofsignals from the cell site.

    SYNC CHANNEL

    This channel provides cell site identification, pilot transmit power, and thecell site pilot pseudo-random (PN) phase offset information. With thisinformation the mobile units can establish the System Time as well as theproper transmits power level to use to initiate a call.

    PAGING CHANNEL

    The mobile unit will begin monitoring the paging channel after it has set itstiming to the System Time provided by the sync channel. Once a mobile unithas been paged and acknowledges that page, call setup and traffic channelassignment information is then passed on this channel to the mobile unit.

    FORWARD TRAFFIC CHANNEL

    This channel carries the actual phone call and carries the voice and mobile

    power control information from the base station to the mobile unit.

    CDMA REVERSE CHANNELS

    ACCESS CHANNEL

    When the mobile unit is not active on a traffic channel, it will communicateto the base station over the access channel. This communication includesregistration requests, responses to pages, and call origination. The access

    channels are paired with a corresponding paging channel.

    REVERSE TRAFFIC CHANNEL

  • 8/7/2019 Tata Traning Report...

    24/33

    This channel carries the other half of the actual phone call and carries thevoice and mobile power control information from the mobile unit to the basestation.

    ADVANTAGES OF CDMA

    CDMA technology has numerous advantages including: Coverage Capacity Clarity Cost Compatibility Customer satisfaction

    COVERAGECDMA's features result in coverage that is between 1.7 and 3 timesthat of TDMA:

    Power control helps the network dynamically expand the coveragearea.

    Coding and interleaving provide the ability to cover a larger area forthe same amount of available power used in other systems.

    CAPACITYCDMA capacity is ten to twenty times that of analog systems, and it'sup to four times that of TDMA. Reasons for this include:

    CDMA's universal frequency reuse CDMA users are separated by codes, not frequencies. Power control minimizes interference, resulting in maximized capacity.CDMA's soft handoff also helps increase capacity. This is because a soft

    handoff requires less power.

  • 8/7/2019 Tata Traning Report...

    25/33

    CLARITY

    Often CDMA systems can achieve wire line clarity because of CDMAsstrong digital processing. Specifically:

    The rake receiver reduces errors The variable rate vocoder reduces the amount of data transmitted per

    person, reducing interference. The soft handoff also reduces power requirements and interference. Power control reduces errors by keeping power at an optimal level. CDMAs wide band signal reduces fading. Encoding and interleaving reduce errors that result from fading.

    COSTCDMAs better coverage and capacity result in cost benefits:

    Increased coverage per BTS means fewer are needed to cover a givenarea. This reduces infrastructure costs for the providers.

    Increased capacity increases the service providers revenue potential.CDMA costs per subscriber have steadily declined since 1995 for bothcellular and PCS applications.

  • 8/7/2019 Tata Traning Report...

    26/33

    COMPATIBILITYCDMA phones are usually dual mode. This means they can work inboth CDMA systems and analog cellular systems.Some CDMA phones are dual band as well as dual mode. They canwork in CDMA mode in the PCS band, CDMA mode in the cellular band,or analog mode in an analog cellular network.

    CUSTOMER SATISFACTIONCDMA results in greater customer satisfaction because CDMA providesbetter:

    Voice quality Longer battery life due to reduced power requirements No cross-talk because of CDMA's unique coding Privacy--again, because of coding.

    CDMA HANDOFF

    The act of transferring support of a mobile from one base station to anotheris termed handoff. Handoff occurs when a call has to be handed off from onecell to another as the user moves between cells. A CDMA cellular networkhandles mobile unit call processing transitions more subtly than the other

    technologies used for mobile communications networks.CDMA Handoffs require that the mobile unit maintain an ongoing list ofpossible base station sites that it may use for Handoffs as it travels throughthe system. CDMA offers the unique feature of allowing mobile users toprocess signals from multiple (up to 3) base stations simultaneously. Theterminology and various types of Handoffs associated with CDMA aredescribed below.

    Fig. 43 HANDOFF-1

  • 8/7/2019 Tata Traning Report...

    28/33

    Fig. 44 Handoff 2

    TYPES OF HANDOFFSThere are basically two types of Handoff mechanism.

    Hard Handoff Soft Handoff HARD HANDOFFIn a traditional "hard" handoff, the connection to the current cell is broken,and then the connection to the new cell is made. This is known as a "break-before-make" handoff. Since all cells in CDMA use the same frequency, it is

    possible to make the connection to the new cell before leaving the currentcell. This is known as a "make-before-break" or "soft" handoff. Softhandoffs require less power, which reduces interference and increasescapacity.

    SOFT HANDOFFThe condition where two cells are in simultaneous communication with themobile is called Soft Handoff. Soft Handoff will continue until the pilot signal

    from one of the contributing cells drops below a predefined threshold(TDROP). As the mobile moves from its current cell (source cell) to the nextcell (target cell), a traffic channel connection is simultaneously maintainedwith both cells. Figure (a) and Figure (b) illustrate the simultaneous linksduring soft handoff. On the forward link (see Figure (a)), the mobile uses therake receiver to demodulate two separate signals from two different basestations. The two signals are combined to yield a composite signal of betterquality. On the reverse link (see Figure (b)), the mobiles transmit signal is

  • 8/7/2019 Tata Traning Report...

    29/33

    received by both base stations. The two cells demodulate the signalseparately and send the demodulated frames back to the Mobile SwitchingCenter(MSC). The MSC contains a selector that selects the best frame out ofthe two that are sent back.

    On Forward Link, when the Soft Handoff is initiated, the two base stationsbegin transmitting data to the mobile. The mobile receives information fromthe two forward links and uses the RAKE receiver to coherently combinethesignals using the pilot sequence transmitted by each cell/sector as itsreference. This combination of multiple forward link signals improves overalllink performance.

    ADVANTAGES OF CDMA HANDOFF

    1. It is "soft", meaning that communication is not interrupted by the

    handoff. This is sometimes called "make before break." This means fewerdropped calls for users and higher customer satisfaction for operators.

    2. The handoff is not abrupt, but rather it is a prolonged call state duringwhich there is communication via two or more base stations. The multi-waycommunication diversity improves the link performance during the handoff.The diversity gain partially compensates for the large path loss at the cellboundary.

    3. The signal measurement that triggers the handoff is performed by themobile stations, not the base stations.

    Need of CDMA

    Designers and planners of the communication systems are oftenconcerned with the efficiency with which the systems utilize the signalenergy and bandwidth. In most communication systems these are themost important issues. In some cases, it is necessary for the systemto resist external interference, to operate at low spectral energy, toprovide multiple access capability without external control and secure

    channel not accessible to the outsiders. Thus, it is sometimesunavoidable to sacrifice some of the efficiency in order to enhancethese features. Spread spectrum techniques allow accomplishing suchobjectives.

Its bandwidth is much widerthan that required for simple point-to-point communications at thesame data rate because it uses noise-like carrier waves to spread theinformation contained in a signal of interest over a much greaterbandwidth. However, because the conversations taking place aredistinguished by digital codes, many users can share the samebandwidth simultaneously.

    The advanced methods used in commercial CDMA technology improvecapacity, coverage and voice quality, leading to a new generation ofwireless networks.

    The 850MHz CDMA band is most popularly used all over the world.This band as mentioned in the previous slide works between,

    824-849MHz Used for the Reverse link communication. 869-894MHz Used for the Forward link communication.

    The Following equation gives the relationship between the channelnumbers and the actual frequency.Forward Link Frequency = (870 + N0.03) MHzReverse Link Frequency = (825 + N0.03) MHzWhere N = CDMA channel number

    1) Microwave Antenna:

    MW antenna is used to transmit MW signal in air. Thisantenna is directional antenna. It means it will transmit in one directiononly. This is used to connect E1 link between two sites. Two MW antennasare there in each site to establish a ring network. It sends traffic to BSC. Thetransmitting frequency is in terms of GHz. Parabolic types of antenna areused in TTSL.

    2) ODU:

    ODU stands for outdoor unit. ODU is attached to the MWantenna. Its function is modulates the incoming signal from IDU with highercarrier frequency signal. Means frequency up conversion is performed here.

    3) IDU:

    IDU stands for indoor unit. It convert RF signal in to opticalsignal. To establish ring network more than one IDU can be required.

    4) MUX:

    Here MUX are used to carry E1 from one site to another

    site.BTS is connected to the MUX via DDF. Here MUX can carry both dataand voice traffic.MUX uses SDH (Synchronous Digital Hierarchy) technology.Different types are:

    Type capacity

    STM-0 21E1 STM-1 63E1 STM-4 4*63E1 STM-16 16*63E1 STM-64 64*63E1 STM-256 256*63E1

    Single E1 has a capacity of 2.048 Mbps.MSH11c (STM-1) and

    MSH41c (STM-4) are used TTSL.

    5) DDF:

    DDF stands for DIGITAL DISTRIBUTION FRAME.DDF is a point wasE1 is terminated. It provides only connectivity between two points.

    6) BTS:

    A BTS stand for BASE STATION TRANSCIEVER SUBSYSTEM.BTS isconnected with GPS antenna via RF cable. The CDMA signal is processed byBTS.BTS include filter, amplifier and other control module. BTS receive andtransmit signal via sector antenna.

    7) Sector antenna:

    Sector antennas communicate with mobile.360 Degree is dividedin to three parts Alpha Beta and Gamma. Also known as intra,metro andultra. All three parts are separated by maximum up to 120 degree. Herebecause of sector the coverage is increase .Sector antenna is a directionalantenna.

    8) GPS system:

    A GPS stands for Global positioning system. A GPS receiver islocated in the BTS and is connected to antenna via RF cable. This providessynchronization signal and timing signal to CDMA network for channelcoding. These antennas communicate with satellite continuously.
