Wha is CDMA? CDMA (Code Division Muliple Access) is a ype of uliple access schees in hich each user expands he signal bandidh in excess of iniu necessary o send he inforaion and shares he sae specru a he sae ie. In CDMA, each user can be differeniaed by is on unique spreading code. Spreading a signal in CDMA is, in usual, accoplished by eans of N (pseudo-rando noise) codes, hich are generaed by using a linear feedback shif regiser (LFSR).

Spreading Codes for CDMA [],[] Tradiional ay for uliple access is o separae signals eiher in he ie doain (TDMA) or in he frequency doain (FDMA). Hoever, in CDMA, differen users occupy he sae bandidh a he sae ie bu are separaed fro each oher via soe code sequences assigned o each user. To represenaive code sequences used for CDMA: Orhogonal codes seudo-rando noise (N) codes Orhogonal codes are soeies used in CDMA syses o isolae differen channels in eiher forard or reverse link. Orhogonaliy To rando processes X() and Y() are called orhogonal if hey saisfy RXY [ ] ( τ) = E X( Y ) ( + τ) = for all τ. To periodic funcions x() and y() are called orhogonal if hey saisfy T Rxy () = x ( ) y ( ) d =, T: period T To periodic sequences x and y are called orhogonal if x T y =.

Spreading Codes: N Code [],[] The os represenaive spreading code used for CDMA is he N code ha ay be generaed by a linear feedback shif regiser.

Classificaion of CDMA Syses CDMA syses can be classified ino he synchronous CDMA syse and he asynchronous CDMA syse. Synchronous CDMA Syse All base saions are synchronized ih each oher by using he ie inforaion obained fro GS saellies. All base saions use he sae N code ih differen phase shifs so ha he iniial synchronizaion a he obile is relaively easy. IS-95 and cda syses Asynchronous CDMA Syse Unlike synchronous syses, GS saellies are no used for synchronizaion hile base saions are roughly synchronized ih each oher by using a neork clock. Each base saion should eploy a differen N code ==> Iniial synchronizaion requires a long ie and a special synchronizaion circui so called he ached filer should be used.

CDMA Feaures: High Frequency Reuse Efficiency [],[] The frequency reuse facor is defined for AMS and TDMA syses as he acual bandidh assigned o each base saion divided by he oal bandidh: F = /7 In a CDMA syse, he frequency reuse facor is redefined as he self-cell inerference over oal inerference. self-cell inerference F = =.% oal inerference + f.%.%.%.%.% =.7 + 6k + k + 8k +.%.%.%.%.%.% 6 % 6 % 6 %.%.% k =. 6, k =., k =..% %.%.%.% 6 % 6 % 6 %.%.% f = oher-cell inerference : loading facor self-cell inerference.%.%.%.%.%.%.% ==> High frequency reuse efficiency!.%.%.% Fig. 4.6 Typical inerference in hexagonal cellular paerns.

CDMA Feaures: Secoring Gain [],[] The inerference a he base saion can be reduced significanly if he cell is secored. Three secor anenna is ypically used so ha each secor receives he signals coing over only degrees as shon in Fig. 4.7. This arrangeen decreases he inerference by a facor of approxiaely /, eaning ha secoring gain G a is. If he cell is secored o six secors, hen he inerference is decreased by a facor of approxiaely /6. In acual, hoever, he secoring gain becoes abou.5 for hree-secor anenna and 5 for six-secor anenna due o overlapping of anenna beapaern. Korea Aerospace Universiy Mobile Counicaions Lab.

CDMA Feaures: Voice Aciviy Gain [],[] The voice aciviy is defined as he acual alking ie noralized by he user s overall holding ie in voice counicaions. CDMA syses can reduce inerference effecively by using he voice aciviy in such a ay ha he syse does no ransi any signal hile a user is no acually alking. The voice aciviy is abou.4 so ha he channel capaciy can be increased up o.5 ies by siply uilizing he voice aciviy. Korea Aerospace Universiy Mobile Counicaions Lab.
CDMA Feaures: oer Conrol [],[] There are o probles in cellular environens, near-far proble and fading, hich can be solved by poer conrol. Especially in CDMA, all users share he sae specru so ha each user looks like inerference o oher users. Therefore, he poer of each user us carefully be conrolled so ha no user is unnecessarily inerfering ih ohers. Fig. 4.8 Near-far proble. Korea Aerospace Universiy Mobile Counicaions Lab.
CDMA Feaures: oer Conrol (con.) There are hree poer conrol schees in CDMA: closed-loop, open-loop, and ouer-loop poer conrols. We herein invesigae he ainly for he reverse link. Closed-loop poer conrol The closed-loop poer conrol is used o copensae for rapid signal flucuaion due o ulipah fading. As shon in Fig. 4.9, a base saion easures E b /N o or received poer fro a obile saion. If he easured E b /N o (or poer) exceeds a cerain hreshold, hen he base saion coands he obile o decrease is ransi poer. If he easured E b /N o (or poer) is belo a cerain hreshold, hen he base saion coands he obile o increase is ransi poer. In IS-95 reverse link, he ransi poer a obile is adjused every.5 s (poer conrol rae: 8 Hz) ih a sep size of db. The poer conrol coand is ransied by puncuring forard raffic channel ih poer-up or poer-don coand every.5 s, as shon in Fig. 4.. Korea Aerospace Universiy 4 Mobile Counicaions Lab.

CDMA Feaures: oer Conrol (con.) Open-loop poer conrol The open-loop poer conrol is used o copensae for a large flucuaion of he signal due o long-er fading here here is a high correlaion beeen he forard and reverse links. As shon in Fig. 4., a obile saion coninuously oniors he received poer fro he base saion and adjuss ransi poer in response o he change in received poer fro base saion. The er open-loop is used in ha i is purely a obile-conrolled operaion and does no involve he base saion a all. Ouer-loop poer conrol In CDMA syses, he qualiy of link is finally deerined by he FER (frae error rae) or BER (bi error rae). The ouer-loop poer conrol is he process o adjus arge E b /N o (or hreshold) in response o he FER easureens a he base saion, as shon in Fig. 4.9. Tha is, if he easured FER a he base saion is larger han a cerain hreshold ( - FER for voice for exaple) for a given arge E b /N o (or hreshold), hen he base saion increases he arge E b /N o. Oherise, he base saion decreases he arge E b /N o. Korea Aerospace Universiy 7 Mobile Counicaions Lab.
