    The document provides an overview of the W-CDMA air interface, including its architecture, functions, channels, and physical layer processing. It describes the UMTS radio protocol stack and responsibilities of each layer. It also explains the different types of channels in UMTS, including logical, transport, and physical channels, and how they are mapped in the protocol stack. Forward error correction methods like convolution coding and turbo coding employed in the physical layer are also summarized.

    W-CDMA PHYSICAL LAYER PROCESSING


    Protecting Data/User Information:
    Forward error correction mechanism are applied to allow adding information to the data streams enabling receiver to correct the errors during decoding process. Achieved by digital coding techniques such as:

    Convolution coding:
    Can use or 1/3 rating coders. Used for services 19.2Kbps or less e.g. Voice

    Turbo Coding:
    Uses two convolution coder working in parallel. Turbo coder defined as 1/3 rate. Additional processing relative to convolution coder. Added delay due to additional processing makes it perfect for non real-time services such as WEB browsing. Used for services data rate 19.2Kbps or higher.

    Interleaving:
    Reorder original coded data streams to help error correction

    W-CDMA PHYSICAL LAYER PROCESSING


    Channel Separation
    Uses OVSF codes OVSF is applied to achieve 3.84Mcps fixed channel rate

    Source Identification
    Scrambling codes are used for Node-B and UE identification The set of scrambling codes are known as Gold codes 2-24 Gold codes for UL (UE) 512 are assigned for DL(Node-B)
