GSM – Logical channels and frame hierarchy
Universität Karlsruhe Institut für Telematik GSM – Logical channels and frame hierarchy Mobilkommunikation SS 1998 GSM specifies two basic groups of logical channels: Traffic channels (TCH): GSM uses a TCH to transmit user data. Control channels (CCH): CCHs are used to control medium access, allocation of traffic channels or mobility management. Broadcast control channel (BCCH):A BTS uses this channel to signal information such as the cell identifier, options, and frequencies to all MSs within a cell. Common control channel (CCCH): All information regarding connection setup between MS and BS is exchanged via the CCCH. Dedicated control channel (DCCH): Before a MS established a TCH with the BTS, it uses DCCH for signaling.

UTRA-FDD (W-CDMA) Mobilkommunikation SS 1998 UTRA-FDD (W-CDMA) The FDD mode for UTRA uses wideband CDMA (W-CDMA) with direct sequence spreading. Uplink and downlink use different frequencies. Uplink (1920 ~ 1980 MHz) and downlink (2110 – 2170 MHz). Time slots are not used for user separation but to support periodic functions. Each time slot is 38,400 chips/s x 10 ms x 1/15 = 2560 chips (≈2/3 ms). The occupied bandwidth per W-CDMA channel is 4.4 to 5 MHz. In Germany, the FDD spectrum was sold over 50 billion Euros. The provide higher data rates, the infrastructure should be improved: Twice as many base stations as GSM (500 m cell diameters) Prof. Dr. Dr. h.c. G. Krüger E. Dorner / Dr. J. Schiller

UE in UTRA-FDD (W-CDMA)
Universität Karlsruhe Institut für Telematik UE in UTRA-FDD (W-CDMA) Mobilkommunikation SS 1998 A UE has to perform the following steps during the search for a cell after power on: Primary synchronization: A UE has to synchronize with the help of a 256 chip primary synchronization code. Secondary synchronization: This defines the group of scrambling codes. Identification of the scrambling code: the UE tries all scrambling codes within the group of codes to find the right code with the help of a correlator. After these three steps the UE can receive all further data over a broadcast channel. Prof. Dr. Dr. h.c. G. Krüger E. Dorner / Dr. J. Schiller

UTRA-TDD (TD-CDMA) Mobilkommunikation SS 1998 UTRA-TDD (TD-CDMA) Separates up and downlink in time using a frame structure similar to FDD. 15 slots with 2560 chips per slot for a radio frame with a duration of 10 ms. The chipping rate is 3.84 Mchips/s. TDD frame can be symmetrical or asymmetrical. The switching points is used to indicate the switching between up and downlink. At least one slot must be allocated for the uplink and downlink respectively. UTRA TDD occupies 5 MHz bandwidth per channel. Germany paid less than 300 million Euros. It is unclear to what extend this system will be deployed. The coverage per cell is less than using UTRA-FDD. UEs must not move too fast (like WLANs). Prof. Dr. Dr. h.c. G. Krüger E. Dorner / Dr. J.

UTRA architecture Mobilkommunikation SS 1998 UTRA architecture Radio network subsystems (RNS) Radio network controller (RNC) controls several node Bs over the interface (Iub) and is connected with the core network (CN) over Iu. The interface Iur is the interface for connecting two RNCs. Each node B can control several antennas which make a radio cell. The mobile device, user equipment (UE), can be connected to one or more antennas. Core network The circuit switched domain (CSD) comprises the classical circuit switched services and connects to the RNS via the IuCS. The packet switched domain (PSD) uses the GPRS components SGSN and GGSN and connects to the RNS via the IuPS. Prof. Dr. Dr. h.c. G. Krüger E. Dorner / Dr. J. Schiller

UTRAN Components Mobilkommunikation SS 1998 Node B The name node B was chosen during standardization until a new and better name was found. The main task is the inner loop power control to mitigate near-far effect. Measures connection qualities and signal strengths. Supports a special case of handover (soft-handover). User Equipment (UE) The UE performs signal quality measurements, inner loop power control, spreading and modulation, and rate matching. (counterpart of a node B). The UE has to cooperate during handover and cell selection, performs encryption and decryption. (RNC) The UE has to implement mobility management. (CN) Prof. Dr. Dr. h.c. G. Krüger E. Dorner / Dr. J.

Core network Mobilkommunikation SS 1998 The Core Network (CN) and thus the Interface Iu, are separated into two logical domains: Circuit Switched Domain (CSD) Circuit switched service including signaling Resource reservation at connection setup GSM components (MSC, GMSC, VLR) IuCS Packet Switched Domain (PSD) GPRS components (SGSN, GGSN) IuPS Release 99 uses the GSM/GPRS network and adds a new radio access!

Switching between TDD cells is done between the slots of different frames at a certain point in time. Inter frequency handover (changing the carrier frequency) is a hard handover. All inter system handover are hard handovers in UMTS (to and from GSM or IMT-2000 systems). During a compressed mode which enables a UE to listen into GSM or other frequency bands, the spreading factor can be lowered or less data is sent before and after the break in transmission. Soft handover: In CDMA they use macro diversity. A UE receiving data from different antennas at the same time makes a handover soft. Prof. Dr. Dr. h.c. G. Krüger E. Dorner / Dr. J. Schiller

It allows simultaneous transmission of data via different cells. The UE combines the received data again.
