DPCCH
Confidential Information of Huawei. No Spreading without Permission. Security Level: Internal
DCH consists of dedicated data and control information. Control information includesPilotTPCTFCI(optional). The spreading factor of DCH can be from 512 to 4,and can be changed during connection
DPDCH and DPCCH is time multiplexed. Multi-code transmission within one CCTrCH uses the same spreading factor. In this case, the DPCH control information is transmitted only on the first downlink DPCH.
Different CCTrCH can use different spreading factors in the case there are several CCTrCHs for one UE. In this case information of only one DPCCH needs to be transmitted.

No coding:no segmentation If codes cannot be segmented evenly, fill in 0 bits at the beginning of the first code block. If the code block length of Turbo code<40, fill in 0 bits at the beginning to keep the code length constantly as 40.

Rate Matching
Rate matching means that bits on a transport channel are repeated or punctured.
The number of bits on a transport channel can vary between different transmission time intervals. In the downlink the transmission is interrupted if the number of bits is lower than maximum. When the number of bits between different transmission time intervals in uplink is changed, bits are repeated or punctured to ensure that the
Interleaving
Functionreduce the influence of fast fading. Two kinds of interleaving 1st interleaving
The length of 1st interleaving is TTI of TrCH, 1st interleaving is a inter-frame interleaving
When the transmission time interval is longer than 10 ms, the input bit sequence is segmented and mapped onto
Following radio frame size equalisation in the UL the input bit sequence length is guaranteed to be an integer multiple of Fi.
Following rate matching in the DL the input bit sequence length is guaranteed to be an integer multiple of Fi.
Multiplexing of TrCH
Every 10 ms, one radio frame from each TrCH is delivered to the TrCH multiplexing. These radio frames are serially
The format of CCTrCH is indicated by TFCI TrCH can have different TTI before multiplexing 2 types of CCTrCH:Common and dedicated
Common CCTrCH should be multiplexed by common TrCH; Dedicated CCTrCH should be multiplexed by dedicated TrCH
There is only one CCTrCH in uplink and one or several CCTrCH in downlink for one user
In the downlink, DTX is used to fill up the radio frame with bits.
This step of inserting DTX indication bits is used only if the positions of the TrCHs in the radio frame are fixed
The DTX indication bits inserted in this step shall be placed at the end of the radio frame.
Each TrCH can carry different service data, several TrCHs can be multiplexed into a CCTrCH, so WCDMA support
