3G-WCDMA Basics

At the end of this course, you will be able to:

Understand evolution of mobile communications
Master UMTS Features and 3G frequency
allocation
Master WCDMA Standard Evolution
Understand ZTE WCDMA Features
 Basic Concepts of Communication----
Multiple Access
Multiple Access: Simultaneous private use of a transmission medium
by multiple, independent users.

Why Multiple Access?

Increased capacity: serve more users
Transmission
Reduced capital requirements since fewer
media can carry the traffic
Decreased per-user expense Medium
Types of Transmission Medium:
Twisted pair
Coaxial cable
Fiber optic cable Each pair of users enjoys a
Air interface (radio signals) dedicated, private circuit
through the transmission
medium, unaware that the
other users exist.
 Basic Concepts of Communication----
Multiple Access

FDMA-- Frequency Division Multiple Access FDMA

Each user on a different frequency
Power
A channel is a frequency

TDMA-- Time Division Multiple Access

Each user on a different window period
in time (which is called time-slot) TDMA
A channel is a specific time slot on a specific
frequency Power

CDMA-- Code Division Multiple Access

A channel is a unique code pattern
Each user uses the same frequency all the time, but
mixed with different distinguishing code patterns CDMA

3. The third generation mobile communications
Universal Mobile Telecommunication System
IMT-2000 (UMTS)
1) Features:
code division multiple access (CDMA)
digital signal
broadband
2) Meaning of 2000 :
frequency spectrum around 2000MHz
data rate up to 2000kbps
putting into business about year 2000
3) Representative Systems:
WCDMA CDMA2000 TD-SCDMA
 Why we use 3G?
Limited frequency resource:
Present frequency cannot satisfy the need of mobile
communications development.
The frequency efficiency of 2G is lower than that of 3G.
Need of mobile multi-media:
Mobile data service will be the necessary product
of the combination of mobile communication and
Internet.
The feature of 3G is the transmission capability of
providing data service in high rate.
Multiple Services
 The Goal of 3G
Higher transmit rate
Rich and colorful service
Good voice quality
Larger capacity
Lower cost
Good secret performance
High frequency efficiency
Easy to transition from 2G
