C H A P T E R 1 Introduction to 3G CDMA 1.1 Third Generation Systems While there are several wireless standards and systems that qualify as third genera- tion (3G) systems, this book specifically deals with the IS-2000 implementation of 3G. In the mid-1990s, the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) initiated an effort to develop a framework of standards and systems that will provide wireless and ubiquitous telecommunications services to users anywhere at anytime. Subse- quently, International Mobile Telecommunications-2000 (IMT-2000), a subgroup of the ITU, published a set of performance requirements of 3G. It is useful to review the performance requirements of a 3G wireless system, which are as follows (for both packet-switched and circuit-switched data): A minimum data rate of 144 Kbps in the vehicular environment; A minimum data rate of 384 Kbps in the pedestrian environment; A minimum data rate of 2 Mbps in the fixed indoor and picocell environment. In addition, in all environments the system must support same data rates for both forward and reverse links (symmetric data rates), as well as support different data rates for both forward and reverse links (asymmetric data rates) [1]. Some standards and systems such as Universal Mobile Telephone System (UMTS) are implemented in the new 3G spectrum (e.g., in Europe). While other standards and systems such as IS-2000 can introduce 3G services in spectrums already used by second generation (2G) systems (e.g., in North America). The latter case takes into account those investments already deployed in the field where useful and necessary [2]. The correction in the valuation of high-technology assets in early 2000 underscores the importance of making calculated infrastructure investment while taking into account the market demand for these services. This consideration is one reason why IS-2000 has gained popularity in the initial deployment of 3G [3]. In addition, as will be seen in later chapters of this book, IS-2000 is backward compatible with existing 2G IS-95 systems. This backward compatibility gives IS-2000 two important advantages. First, IS-2000 is able to support the reuse of existing IS-95 infrastructure equipment and hence requires only incremental invest- ment to provide 3G services. Second, because IS-2000 represents a natural technical evolution from its predecessor, there is a lower implementation risk when transi- tioning to 3G. 1
2 Introduction to 3G CDMA 1.2 Protocol Architecture One architectural difference between the IS-2000 standard and the IS-95 standard is that IS-2000 calls out explicitly the functions of four different protocol layers. These layers are the physical layer, medium access control, signaling link access control, and upper layer. The physical layer is responsible for transmitting Physical layer (Layer 1) [4]: and receiving bits over the physical medium. Since the physical medium in this case is over the air, the layer would have to convert bits into waveforms (i.e., modulation) to enable their transmission through air. In addition to modulation, the physical layer also carries out coding functions to perform error control functions at the bit and frame levels. The MAC sublayer con- Medium access control (MAC) sublayer (Layer 2) [5]: trols higher layers’ access to the physical medium that is shared among different users. In this regard, MAC carries out analogous functions as a MAC entity that controls a local area network (LAN). Whereas a LAN MAC controls different com- puters’ access to the shared bus, the IS-2000 MAC sublayer manages the access of different (low-speed voice and high-speed data) users to the shared air interface. The LAC sublayer Signaling link access control (LAC) sublayer (Layer 2) [6]: is responsible for the reliability of signaling (or overhead) messages that are exchanged. Recall that the over-the-air medium is extremely error-prone, and infor- mation messages are at times received (and accepted) with errors. On the other hand, since signaling messages provide important control functions, these messages have to be reliably transmitted and received. The LAC sublayer performs a set of functions that ensure the reliable delivery of signaling messages. The upper layer carries out the overall control of the Upper layer (Layer 3) [7]: IS-2000 system. It exercises this control by serving as the point that processes all and originates new signaling messages. The information (both data and voice) messages are also passed through Layer 3. Recall that the IS-95 standard does not explicitly and separately describe the functions of each layer. However in IS-95 those functions that are carried out by the layers do exist. For example, in IS-95 mobile access is logically a function of the MAC sublayer, but its descriptions are lumped together with the other functions within a single standard. At this point the reader may ask why the layered architecture was not employed in IS-95 but now used in IS-2000. The layered architecture is now used in IS-2000 because it brings the system into conformance with the 3G architecture delineated in IMT-2000. The IMT-2000 framework calls for different networks to cooperate to provide services to end users, and the level and extent of these cooperation are more clearly organized if viewed from the perspective of the layered architecture. Well- defined layer functions provide modularity to the system. As long as a layer still per- forms its functions and provides the expected services, the specific implementation
1.3 Other Elements of Protocol Architecture 3 of its functions can be modified or replaced without requiring changes to the layers above and below it [8]. Figure 1.1 shows the structure of the protocol architecture used by IS-2000. Without a loss of generality, this figure is shown from the perspective of the mobile station; a similar figure can also be drawn from the perspective of the base station by reversing the direction of some arrows and changing the placement of some entities. Figure 1.1 is a rather important figure and we will refer to it from time to time throughout the book. For now, note the three different layers (Layers 1, 2, and 3), the two sublayers in Layer 2 (MAC and LAC), the entities in the layers [e.g., Signal- ing Radio Burst Protocol (SRBP)], and the communication paths among the layers and entities. Also note that the layer structure shown in Figure 1.1 resembles that of the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) Reference Model [9]. 1.3 Other Elements of Protocol Architecture In addition to the individual layers themselves, other important elements of the pro- tocol architecture are described as follows: The physical channels are the communication paths between Physical channels: the physical layer and the common/dedicated channel multiplex sublayers. The physical channels are designated by uppercase letters.

4 Introduction to 3G CDMA letter and the dash stand for either forward link (F-) or reverse link (R-), and the last two letters “CH” always stand for “channel.” For example, R-ACH stands for reverse access channel, and F-FCH stands for forward fundamental channel. A list of physical channel names and their designations is shown in Table 1.1; note that legacy IS-95 physical channels are denoted with asterisks. The logical channels are the communication paths between the Logical channels: common/dedicated channel multiplex sublayers and higher layer entities. One can think of logical channels as carrying the logical units of signaling or user informa- tion. Contrast those with physical channels which can be thought of as the actual physical vehicles that transport the signaling or user information over the air. The logical channels are designated by lower-case letters. The first letter and the dash stand for either forward link (f-) or reverse link (r-), and the last two letters “ch” always stand for “channel.” For example, r-csch stands for reverse common signaling channel, and f-dtch stands for forward dedicated traffic channel. A list of logical channel names and their designations are shown in Table 1.2. The data units are logical units of signaling and user information that Data unit: are exchanged between SRBP entity/Radio Link Protocol (RLP) entity and higher layer entities. There are two types of data units: payload data units (PDU) and serv- ice data units (SDU). PDU is used to designate those data units that are accepted by a Table 1.1 Physical Channel Designations in IS-2000 Forward Link Channel Designation F-SCH Channel Name Forward supplemental channel Reverse Link Channel Designation R-SCH F-SCCH F-FCH* F-DCCH F-PCH* F-QPCH Forward supplemental code channel R-SCCH Forward fundamental channel R-FCH* Forward dedicated control channel R-DCCH Paging channel Quick paging channel R-ACH* R-EACH F-CCCH Forward common control channel R-CCCH Channel Name Reverse supplemental channel Reverse supplemental code channel Reverse fundamental channel Reverse dedicated control chan- nel Access channel Enhanced access channel Reverse common control channel F-BCCH F-CPCCH F-CACH F-SYNCH* F-PICH* F-TDPICH F-APICH F-ATDPICH Broadcast control channel Common power control channel Common assignment channel Sync channel Forward pilot channel Transmit diversity pilot channel Auxiliary pilot channel Auxiliary transmit diversity pilot channel R-PICH Reverse pilot channel

The use of PDUs and SDUs is discussed in more detail later in Chapter 4 (medium access control), Chapter 5 (link access control), and Chapter 6 (upper layer signaling). In the MAC sublayer, there are four different entities: SRBP, RLP, common channel multiplex sublayer, and dedicated channel multiplex sublayer. Common channel multiplex sublayer performs the mapping between the logical com- mon channels (channels that are shared among multiple users) and the physical common channels. Dedicated channel multiplex sublayer performs the mapping between the logical dedicated channels (channels that are dedicated to specific users) and the physical dedicated channels. Note that while dedicated channels can be used for both signaling and user data, common channels are only used for signaling. SRBP and RLP are protocol entities in the MAC sublayer. They are described in more detail in Chapter 4. It suffices to say now that SRBP handles common-channel signaling (as opposed to dedicated-channel signaling) and RLP handles user infor- mation that is packetized in nature. 1.4 Spreading Rate 1 and Spreading Rate 3 Without a loss of generality, this book will focus on Spreading Rate 1 (also known as “1x”) of IS-2000. Spreading Rate 1 by definition uses one times the chip rate of IS-95 (i.e., 1.2288 Mcps). See Figure 1.2. In addition, the IS-2000 standard also sup- ports Spreading Rate 3 (also known as “3x”). Spreading Rate 3 is used when higher data rates are desired. Spreading Rate 3 has two implementation options: direct spread (DS) or multicarrier (MC). On the forward link, Spreading Rate 3 uses the MC option by utilizing three separate RF carriers, each spread using a chip rate of 1.2288 Mcps. In this case, the user data is multiplexed onto three separate RF carriers that are received by the mobile. On the reverse link, Spreading Rate 3 uses the DS option. The DS option allows the mobile to directly spread its data over a wider bandwidth using a chip rate of 3.6864 Mcps. See Figure 1.3. To harmonize with other 3G systems such as 1. In the OSI Reference Model, a higher layer entity typically requests services from a lower-layer entity.

A chip rate of 1.2288 Mcps occupies an RF bandwidth of 1.25 MHz. 3.75 MHz Forward link Reverse link 3.75 MHz Mobile station Base station Figure 1.3 Spreading Rate 3. UMTS, a Spreading Rate 3 signal can have 625 kHz of guard band on each side resulting in a total RF bandwidth of 5 MHz. These options for the forward and reverse links are included in the standard in order to reduce the complexity of the mobile’s receiver. As readers may have already noticed, the above-stated configurations mean that the mobile’s receiver only has to receive and demodulate 1x carriers and does not have to receive and demodulate any 3x carrier. Incidentally, a mobile can also receive at Spreading Rate 3 and transmit at Spreading Rate 1. See Figure 1.4. This particular arrangement takes advantage of the fact that data rates required for downstreaming are typically higher than those required for upstreaming. Wider bandwidth options such as 6x, 9x, and 12x are under consideration for even higher data rate applications. As far as 3G systems are concerned, Spreading Rate 3 satisfies all the performance requirements as set forth by IMT-2000.
1.5 Differences Between IS-2000 and IS-95 7 3.75 MHz Forward link Reverse link 1.25 MHz Mobile station Base station Figure 1.4 Spreading Rate 3 on forward link and Spreading Rate 1 on reverse link. As a final note: The original intention of the IS-2000 family of standards is to evolve progressively to higher data rates using wider bandwidths (i.e., 3x…12x). However, the current trend seems to be one of deploying high data rate solutions that use 1.25 MHz of bandwidth (e.g., 1xEV-DO). There are several advantages of using solutions like 1xEV-DO, one of which is that wireless operators can carve out selected 1.25 MHz carriers dedicated to and optimized for high rate data. 1xEV-DO is covered later in Chapters 13–15. 1.5 Differences Between IS-2000 and IS-95 IS-2000 represents a natural technical extension from its IS-95 predecessor, and this extension can be seen in the fact that IS-2000 users and IS-95 users can coexist in the same carrier. Although IS-2000 is backward compatible with IS-95, there are many differences between IS-2000 and IS-95. We will point out now, by way of introduc- tion, those differences that represent a substantial departure from IS-95. Since the requirement of 3G and IS-2000 is transmitting and receiving at a higher data rate, two types of improvements are needed to enable data rates at or above 144 Kbps: improvements in signaling and improvements in transmission. 1.5.1 Signaling In order to implement high-rate packet-switched data, IS-2000 needs to dynami- cally acquire and release air link resources, and efficient signaling is required to per- form quick acquisitions and releases of these resources. These new signaling mechanisms include: On the forward link, there are new overhead/signaling physical channels. They are quick paging channel (F-QPCH), forward common control channel (F-CCCH), broadcast control channel (F-BCCH), common power control channel (F-CPCCH), and common assignment channel (F-CACH).
8 Introduction to 3G CDMA On the reverse link, there are new overhead/signaling physical channels. They are reverse dedicated control channel (R-DCCH), enhanced access channel (R-EACH), and reverse common control channel (R-CCCH). On the reverse link, there are shorter signaling messages. IS-2000 can transmit shorter 5-ms frames on the enhanced access channel (R-EACH). This is done to reduce the probability of access collision. On the forward link, IS-2000 can also transmit shorter signaling messages. It can use shorter 5-ms frames (i.e., 1/8 rate) on the forward fundamental chan- nel for this purpose. In addition, an IS-2000 mobile can now be in one of several modes (e.g., dor- mant mode) to accommodate bursty packet data transmissions and to conserve air link resources. These modes are described in more detail in Chapter 6 on upper layer signaling. The new overhead/signaling physical channels on the forward link are discussed in Chapter 2, and the new overhead/signaling physical channels on the reverse link are discussed in Chapter 3. 1.5.2 Transmission A higher air link capacity is obviously needed to implement high-rate data, and vari- ous changes are made to improve air link capacity to beyond that of IS-95. These changes are also made to effect a more efficient use of air link resources. Some major changes are listed below: Forward supplemental channel (F-SCH) and reverse supplemental channel (R-SCH) are added to transport high-rate user data. Reverse link now has a reverse pilot channel (R-PICH) to support coherent modulation on the reverse link. Forward link now has fast closed-loop power control (compared with the slower power control in IS-95). Power control groups are transmitted on the reverse pilot channel to enable fast closed-loop power control of the forward link. In addition to power controlling the traffic channels, IS-2000 can also power forward dedicated control channel the signaling channel control [F-DCCH]). (i.e., Supplemental channels are discussed in more detail in Chapter 2 and Chapter 3. IS-2000 power controls are discussed in more detail in Chapter 7. Other transmis- sion improvements include the implementation of a more efficient quadrature phase-shift keying (QPSK) in the modulation stage and the use of more efficient turbo codes for high date rate transmissions. 1.5.3 Concluding Remarks The differences between IS-2000 and IS-95 are not limited to those introduced above. Throughout the book, we will regularly point out, where appropriate, more
