Spreading Technology Spreading consists of 2 steps
Channelization operation, which transforms data symbols into chips. Thus increasing the bandwidth of the signal, The number of chips per data symbol is called the Spreading FactorSF.The operation is done by multiplying with OVSF code Scrambling operation is applied to the spreading signal

Channelization Code OVSF code is used as channelization code The channelization codes are uniquely described as Cch,SF,k, where SF is the
spreading factor of the code and k is the code number, 0 k SF-1Cch,4,0 =(1,1,1,1) Cch,2,0 = (1,1) Cch,4,1 = (1,1,-1,-1) Cch,1,0 = (1) Cch,4,2 = (1,-1,1,-1) Cch,2,1 = (1,-1) Cch,4,3 = (1,-1,-1,1) SF = 1 SF = 2 SF = 4All rights reserved Page 8

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 channel. Logical channel: Carrying user services directly. According to the types of the
carried services, it is divided into two types: Control channel and traffic 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 physical 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 and scrambling code) and carrier phase (I or Q) can be regarded as a dedicated channel

Physical 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
code) can distinguish the channels Most channels consist of radio frames and time slots, and each radio
frame consists of 15 time slots Two types of physical channel: UL and DL

Synchronization ProcedureCell SearchSlot synchronizationUE uses PSC to acquire slot synchronization to a cell
Frame synchronization and code-group identification
UE uses SSC to find frame synchronization and identify the code group of the cell found in the first step
Scrambling-code identification
UE determines the primary scrambling code through correlation over the CPICH with all codes within the identified group, and then detects the P-CCPCH and reads BCH information
