Carrier Spacing and Carrier Spacing Raster
5MHz
▪ The nominal carrier spacing
for UMTS is 5 MHz
▪ It is possible to move the
centre frequency of the
carrier on a 200 kHz raster
▫ We can have carrier
spacings between 4.2MHz
and 5.8MHz
200kHz
▫ This may be set within the
license conditions, or to the
operators discretion

P-CPICH as Measurement Reference
CPICH RSCP
Received Signal Code Power (in dBm). Power measurement of the
CPICH
Received energy per chip divided by the power density in the band (in
dB)
UTRA carrier received wide band power, including thermal noise and noise generated in the
RSSI
receiver
CPICH Ec/No
CPICH Ec/No =
CPICH RSCP
UTRA carrier RSSI
RSCP
•The UE measures the RSCP on the Primary-CPICH. The reference point for the
measurement is the antenna connector of the UE.
•The received code power may be high, but it does not necessarily indicate the
quality of the received signal
RSSI
•On the overall noise level.
•The UE measures the received wide band power, which includes thermal noise
and receiver generated noise.
•The reference point for the measurements is the antenna connector of the UE.

Channelisation Codes
• Channelisation codes are orthogonal and hence provide
channel separation.
• Number of codes available is dependent on length of code.
• Channelisation codes require an equal number of 1‟s and 1‟s to be orthogonal.
• This is because we use integration to
demodulate the signal
• Channelisation codes are used to spread the signal.
16

OVSF codes
• Orthogonal Variable Spreading Factor Codes can
be defined by a code tree:
Cch,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 = 4
• SF = Spreading Factor of code (maximum 512
for UMTS)

Channelisation Code Generation
• Channelisation codes can be generated from a
•
x
Hadamard matrix
A Hadamard matrix is:x
x
x
• Where x is a Hadamard matrix of the previous
level
• For example 4 chip codes are:
Note: These two codes correlate
• 1,1,1,1
• 1,-1,1,-1 if they are time shifted
• 1,1,-1,-1
• 1,-1,-1,1
