ABSTRACT

In this paper, the performance analysis of a WCDMA End-to-End Physical Layer has been achieved. The goal for the next

generation of mobile communications system is to seamlessly integrate a wide variety of communication services such as high speed

data, video and multimedia traffic as well as voice signals. The technology needed to tackle the challenges to make these services

available is popularly known as the Third Generation (3G) Cellular Systems. One of the most promising approaches to 3G is to

combine a Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (WCDMA) air interface with the fixed network of Global System for Mobile

communications (GSM). In this paper, a signal simulator was implemented according to the physical layer specification of the IMT-

2000 WCDMA system. The data is transmitted in a frame by frame basis through a time varying channel. The transmitted signal is

corrupted by Multiple access interference which is generated in a structured way rather than treating it as Additive White Gaussian

Noise (AWGN). The signal is further corrupted by AWGN and Rayleigh fading at the front end of the receiver. Simple rake diversity

combining is employed at the receiver. The bit error rate was investigated at the downlink for different channel conditions.

Performance improvement due to error correction coding scheme was observed. The simulator developed can be an invaluable tool

for investigating the design and implementation of WCDMA systems.

1. INTRODUCTION

Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (WCDMA) is

a 3rd generation Mobile Communication System that uses

Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) technology over a

wide frequency band to provide high-speed multimedia and

efficient voice services. The WCDMA infrastructure is

compatible with GSM mobile radio communication system.

The objective of this work, is to present the wideband CDMA

air interface scheme that is currently being developed by the

standardization organizations in Europe, Japan, the United

States, and Korea for third-generation communication

systems. And also, to develop a simulated design model that

allows the evaluation of different variables in the wireless

communication system, such as the properties of the channel,

which are affected by environmental factors in the design [1-

2

The motivation for what came to be known as WCDMA was

both increased information rate, so as to ensure the capability

of transmitting multimedia traffic, and enhanced robustness to

multipath fading, an attribute which ultimately results in

higher capacity [3-4]

The Physical Layer The physical layer offers data transport services to higher

layers. The access to these services is through the use of

transport channels via the MAC sub-layer. The physical layer

is expected to perform the following functions in order to

provide the data transport service:

Error detection on transport channels and indication

to higher layers

FEC encoding/decoding of transport channels

Multiplexing of transport channels and

demultiplexing of Coded Composite Transport

Channels (CCTrCHs)

Rate matching of coded transport channels to

physical channels, Mapping of coded composite

transport channels on physical channels, Power

weighting and combining of physical channels,

Modulation and spreading/demodulation and

dispreading of physical channels

Frequency and time (chip, bit, slot, frame)

synchronization.

Radio characteristics measurements including FER,

SIR, Interference Power, etc., and indication to

higher layers. - Inner - loop power control.

RF processing.

Synchronization shift control

Beam forming

Hybrid ARQ soft-combining for HS-DSCH and E-

DCH. http://www.3gpp.org

The WCDMA system uses two types of radio channels;

Frequency Division Duplex (FDD) and Time Division

Duplex (TDD). The FDD radio channels are primarily used

for Wide Area Voice (audio) channels and data services. The

TDD channels are typically used for systems that do not have

the availability of dual frequency bands. In this duplex

method, uplink and downlink transmissions are carried over

the same frequency band by using synchronized time

intervals. Thus time slots in a physical channel are divided

into transmission and reception part, [5-6]

There are two main types of Wideband CDMA schemes:

network asynchronous and network synchronous. In network

asynchronous schemes the base stations are not synchronized,

International Journal of Engineering and Technology (IJET) – Volume 5 No. 12, December, 2015

while in network synchronous schemes the base stations are

synchronized to each other within a few Micro- second. [7-8]

WCDMA Key Features [5]:

The key operational features of the WCDMA radio interface

are listed below.

Support of high data rate transmission: 384 kbps

with wide area coverage, 2 Mbps with local

coverage.

High service flexibility: support of multiple parallel

variable rate services on each connection

Both Frequency Division Duplex (FDD) and Time

Division Duplex (TDD)

Built in support for future capacity and coverage

enhancing technologies like adaptive antennas,

advanced receiver structures and transmitter

diversity.

Support of inter frequency hand over and hand over

to other systems, including hand over to GSM.

Efficient packet access.

Performance Enhancing Schemes

A number of performance enhancing schemes has been

proposed for the WCDMA systems. They include adaptive

receiving antennas, transmit diversity schemes, and advanced

receiver structures.

Adaptive Antennas: Adaptive antennas at the receiver can

increase the capacity and coverage of the system. Connection

dedicated pilot bits can be used in both the links for

employing adaptive antennas.

Transmit Diversity Schemes: Transmit diversity schemes at

the downlink employ multiple transmit antennas at the base

station. They provide performance enhancement similar to

that with multiple antennas at the mobile station receivers.

These schemes are attractive since they transfer the

processing burden to the base station. The transmit

diversity schemes proposed for the WCDMA systems fall

broadly into two different categories:

Open Loop

Closed Loop

2. REVIEW OF RELATED WORK

[5] showed that the 5MHz channel capacity of the W-CDMA

is 82. This is 3.4 times the capacity of current analog cellular

systems (AMPS).In this paper, a comprehensive review of the

wideband CDMA scheme is provided, focusing on key

technical features of the system.

2G systems were primarily designed to support low data rate

digital voice and short messaging with relatively low quality

of service. Therefore, the baseband algorithms had lower

complexity, lower sampling rates, and lower performance

requirements. However, 3G systems was introduced to

support real-time voice applications at toll quality and support

real-time multimedia and high data rate of internet and

mobile data applications with qualities comparable to high-

speed wire-line systems such as digital subscriber loop

(DSL). Hence, the simulation of

3G systems is significantly more challenging than that of 2G.

3G systems are expected to be more power efficient and

smaller in size [9]

Souhaibe Barkat in his work described the Narrowband SIC

scheme , here the interfering signals are cancelled in the

narrowband domain. After the signals are grouped and

regenerated (as they would be in a wideband SIC scheme),

they are de-correlated by a cross-correlation matrix. The

cross-correlation matrix contains the autocorrelation and

cross-correlation coefficients between the different spreading

codes. Canceling the signals removes the interference due to

correlation with other spreading codes. Evaluating the cross-

correlation matrix is a computationally intensive task. A new

matrix must be calculated and inverted every time the user

profile changes or multipath tap changes. Therefore, the W-

CDMA specification uses a 245 chips short code (called very

long Kasami code). With short spreading code, this

implementation is more feasible. [10]

Zeba Khan Rafi (2015) showed that the bit error rate

performance of UWB systems is degraded as energy is spread

out by multipath fading. In the case of DS-UWB systems,

since the spreading factor is relatively small for high data

rates as compared with that of traditional DSSS systems, they

are highly exposed to inter pulse interference (IPI) and energy

spread. There is therefore a need to compensate the multipath

fading effects and the use of a RAKE receiver is the solution.

Remco Van Der Hofstad(2004) in the First generation (1G) of

mobile communication systems, each user is assigned a

frequency, like radio. By the increase of the number of cell

phones, this system is no longer possible. In the second

generation (2G), which is often called GSM, different users

send and receive on the same frequency, and the signals are

separated by assigning each user a time window in which he

or she can transmit. This system is not very efficient, since it

is hard to adapt to changing numbers of users. Therefore, the

allowed time and frequency window is not used optimally. In

the third generation systems, users are distinguished by their

coding sequences, which gives a flexible system, in which the

amount of bandwidth is used more effciently.

This section describes the simulator designed to evaluate the

Bit Error Rate (BER) at the downlink of a Wideband CDMA

(WCDMA) system. Data is transmitted in a frame by frame

basis over a time varying multipath channel. Receiver design

incorporates rake diversity combining. Additive White

Gaussian Noise (AWGN) + Rayleigh fading is added at the

front end of the rake receiver. Multiple Access Interference

(MAI) is generated in a structured way rather than treating it

as

AWGN. The flowchart in Fig.1 illustrates the file structure of

the uplink and downlink simulators:

Data generation, channel and chip-matched filtering can be

modeled in a WCDMA system with K users and a spreading

code with N chips per bit. Bi-phase Shift Keying (BPSK)

modulation can be used with each transmitted signal limited

to [0: T]. The kth user's transmitted signal S k (t) is given by:

k

r(t) = ∑ wk x Sk(t – ζ k ) + v(t) (3)

k=1

where Wk is the complex amplitude with which the kth signal

is received and includes the effect of channel attenuation and

the phase offset; ζk is the relative delay with respect to a

reference at the receiver. This received signal at the channel

output r(t) corresponds to y noisy in the Matlab simulation

programs. The noise component v (t) is assumed to be

Gaussian with zero-mean and double-sided spectral density of

N0/2. This received signal is fed into a chip matched filter

whose output is as follows:

(n+1)Tc

r(n) = ∫ r(t) dt (4)

nTc

A discrete observation vector ř i is formed at bit i by sampling

the integrator output and collecting N successive chip-

matched filter outputs given by:

ři = [ř[i], ř[i + 1], . . . , ř [i + N-1]]T (5)

Each observation vector ři can be viewed as a linear

combination of 2K signal vectors, corresponding to 2 from

each of the K users due to the past and the current bits. So ři

can be written as:

ři = AWbi + vi (6)

with vi ≈ N(0, k), where A is the N x 2K matrix signal

vectors, which depends on spreading codes of each user; W is

the 2K x 2K diagonal matrix of complex amplitudes; bi is the

2K x 1 vector of K users’ previous and current data bits; and

the N x 1 vector K, is the noise covariance. The matrices A,

W and bi are expanded below.

A (ζ) ≡ [a1R (ζ1) a1

X (ζ1), .., akR (ζk) ak

X (ζk)] (7)

Let a kR (ζk) = (1 - yk ) ck

R [qk] + yk ckR [qk+ 1] (8)

and akX(ζk) = (1 - yk)ck

X [qk] + ykckX[qk+ 1] (9)

The N x 2K matrix A(ζ) has a column corresponding to two

adjacent bits of each user given that qk Є {0, 1, ……, N – 1}

and yk Є {0, 1}, where c kR [qk] and c k

X [qk] are the spreading

codes shifted by integer in multiples of chips delays and ζk is

the relative delay with respect to a reference at the receiver.

CkR [qk] = [ck, N-qk . .ck, N-1 0 …0]T (10)

CkX [qk] = [0 . . 0 ck,0 . . ck, qk-1 ]T (11)

Expanding A(ζ) in equation (7) by substituting equations (8)

and (9) yields:

A(ζ)={(1-y1)c1R[q1]+y1ck

R[q1+1]}

{(1-y1)c1X[q1]+y1ck

X[q1+1]},..

{(1-yk)ckR[qk]+ykck

R[qk+1]}

{(1-yk)c1X[qk]+ykck

X[qk+1]} (12)

where yi =STři is the code-matched filter detector output

vector. Equation (12) is an expression of N x 2K matrix of

relative time delays encountered by multiple signals in a

channel with respect to the receiver during transmission and

reception. When signals are transmitted, they undergo varied

delays ζk in the channel due to multipath fading effects. They

arrive at the receiver input at different instants.

Similarly,

W=diag [w1,..., wk]= w1 0 … … 0 0

0 w1 ... … 0 0

0 0 ... … 0 0

: : : : : :

: : : : : :

0 0 … … wk 0

0 0 … … 0 wk

Therefore, bi = [b1 ,i-1, b1,i, . . , b k, i] T (13)

Where b k, i is the ith bit of the kth user.

The chip matched filter block generates an output for every

chip waveform, which is then vectored and fed into the

channel estimation block. Maximum likelihood (ML) channel

estimation uses a fixed preamble which is known at the

receiver. The preamble bits are sent across the channel in the

initial part of a transmission. The ML channel estimation

block uses the resulting output from the channel in the form

of the chip matched filter vector and the knowledge of the

preamble bits is used to estimate the channel parameters

(amplitude, and delay information). The multi-user detector

uses the chip matched filter outputs and the matrix which

conveys the delay and amplitude information to detect the

bits of all the users

3.2 Simulated Model using Simulink

Simulink, developed by Math Works, is a graphical

programming environment for modeling, simulating and

analyzing multidomain dynamic systems. Its primary

interface is a graphical block diagramming tool and a

customizable set of block libraries.

channel of the End-to- End Physical layer. It further computes

the delay between the transmitted and received signals in the

model.Fig.3 is the simulated WCDMA MODEL with

AWGN+MULTIPATH FADING channel, further more it

analyzes the effect of delay on the model by introducing the

unit delay block before modulation, after modulation, before

demodulation and after demodulation.

Functions of Subsystems a. WCDMA DL Tx Channel Coding Scheme: The WCDMA

DL Tx Channel Coding Scheme subsystem processes each

transport channel independently according to the transport

format parameters associated with it. The different transport

channels are then combined to generate a coded combined

transport channel (CCTrCH). The CCTrCH is then sent to the

WCDMA Tx Physical Mapping subsystem.

b. WCDMA Tx Physical Mapping: This subsystem

implements the following functions:

• Physical channel segmentation

• Second interleaver

• Slot builder

The output of this subsystem constitutes a dedicated physical

channel (DPCH), which is passed to the WCDMA BS Tx

Antenna Spreading and Modulation subsystem.

c. WCDMA BS Tx Antenna Spreading and Modulation: The

WCDMA BS Tx Antenna Spreading and Modulation

subsystem performs the following functions:

• Modulation

• Spreading by a real-valued orthogonal variable

spreading factor (OVSF) code

• Scrambling by a complex-valued Gold code

sequence

• Power weighting & Pulse shaping

d. WCDMA Channel Model: The WCDMA Channel Model

subsystem simulates a wireless link channel containing

additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) and, if selected, a set

of multipath propagation conditions.

e. WCDMA UE Rx Antenna: The received signal at the

WCDMA UE Rx Antenna subsystem is the sum of attenuated

and delayed versions of the transmitted signals due to the so-

called multipath propagation introduced by the channel. At

the receiver side, a Rake receiver is implemented to resolve

and compensate for such effect. A Rake receiver consists of

several rake fingers, each associated with a different received

component. Each rake finger is made of chip correlators to

perform the despreading, channel estimation to gauge the

channel, and a derotator that, using the knowledge provided

by the channel estimator, corrects the phase of the data

symbol. The subsystem coherently combines the output of the

different rake fingers to recover the energy across the

different delays.

f. WCDMA Rx Physical Channel Demapping and Channel

Decoding Scheme: The WCDMA Rx Physical Channel

Demapping and the WCDMA DL Rx Channel Decoding

Scheme subsystem decode the signal by performing the

inverse of the functions of the WCDMA DL Tx Channel

Coding Scheme subsystem.

4. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

This section contains the results obtained after series of test

carried out, experimentation and simulations.

Findings and Discussion

The Subsystem coherently combines the output of the

different rake fingers to recover the energy across

the different delays.

WCDMA systems use Interference suppression

at the receiver and multiple antennas at the

transmitter.

Orthogonality among channels is preserved

better at the downlink.

When a signal is received over a multipath

fading channel, the amplitude distribution of the

spread spectrum becomes more and more specular as

the spread bandwidth increases. This is

irrespective of the fading statistics of the received

waveform.

The effect of any residual measurement

inaccuracy is less in a wideband system than

it is in a narrow band system, that is for a given

power control error ,the decrease in capacity

experienced by a narrowband CDMA is greater than

that seen by a WCDMA system.

Pilot bits assists coherent demodulation and

channel estimation

With WCDMA, a user's information bits are spread

over an artificially broadened

bandwidth. The job is done by multiplying them

with a pseudorandom bit stream running several

times as fast. It increases the bit-rate of the signal

(and the amount of bandwidth it occupies) by a ratio

known as the spreading factor, namely, the ratio of

the chip rate to the original information rate. The

scheme can also resolve different propagation paths,

turning multipath distortion from a destructive

nuisance into a helpful ally.

At the receiver output, the amplitude of the de-

spread signal is increased by the spreading factor

relative to interfering signals. In the process, those

interfering signals are diminished and simply add to

the background noise level. In other words,

correlation detection uses the spreading factor to

raise the desired user signal from the interference.

The effect is called processing gain.

Table 1 BLER, BER, AND SAMPLE Rate Computation Associated With Each Transport Channel

From Table 1, it is observed that, increasing the Simulation

time at progressive intervals and constant sample rate has no

effect on the bit error rate results, hence the WCDMA system

can be said to be less prone to errorr

From Table 2, the following deduced:

Introducing the unit delay block before and after modulation

has an impact on the system as can be seen from the values

obtained.

Introducing the unit delay block before demodulation also has

an impact on the system, however after demodulation the

effect of delay on the system is subdued.

5. Conclusion

The simulation of Wireless Communication System allows

the evaluation of different variables in the system, such as the

properties of the channel, which are affected by

environmental factors in the design. One of the most

challenging parts of the design of wireless Cellular

communication systems is the design of the baseband

physical layer. The baseband physical layer algorithms are

designed to establish and maintain a reliable radio link

between base stations and user terminals. These baseband

algorithms are designed to overcome propagation effects,

interference effects, and degradation effects resulting from

nonlinearities and noise in the hardware implementation.

The development of the WCDMA wireless communication

system physical layer link, which was carried out

successfully, can be used as a simulation Model for the

design and development of WCDMA wireless cellular

communication system. Comparing the performances of

narrowband CDMA and WCDMA methods of simulations, it

was shown that the later was more efficient than the former.

This shows that WCDMA is much better for the design and

implementation of 3G wireless communication systems than

the narrowband CDMA.
