Processing Gain
MobileComm Professionals, Inc.
Spreading consists of 2 steps
Channelization operation
Scrambling operation
Data bit
OVSF code Scrambling code
Chips after
spreading
Combination
Separates users through different codes
Codes are used for two purposes:
Differentiate channels/users
Spreading the data over the entire bandwidth
MobileComm Professionals, Inc.
After the Channelization Codes, the data stream is multiplied
by a special code to distinguish between different
transmitters.
Scrambling codes are not orthogonal so they do not need to
be synchronized
The separation of scrambling codes is proportional to the
code length longer codes, better separation (but not 100%)
Scrambling codes are 38400 chips long
Scrambling Property
MobileComm Professionals, Inc.
DL Scrambling Codes
Pseudo noise codes used for cell separation
512 Primary Scrambling Codes
UL Scrambling Codes
Two different types of UL scrambling codes are generated
Long scrambling codes of length of 38 400 chips = 10 ms
radio frame
Short scrambling codes of length of 256 chips
512 DL Primary Scrambling Codes
16.8 million UL Scrambling Codes

In the Downlink, the Scrambling Codes are used to
distinguish each cell (assigned by operator SC planning)
In the Uplink, the Scrambling Codes are used to distinguish
each UE (assigned by network)

Channelisation code Scrambling code
Usage Uplink: Separation of physical data
(DPDCH) and control channels
(DPCCH) from same terminal
Downlink: Separation of downlink
connections to different users within one
cell
Uplink: Separation of mobile
Downlink: Separation of sectors (cells)
Length 4256 chips (1.066.7
s)
Downlink also 512 chips
Different bit rates by changing the length
of the code
Uplink: (1) 10 ms = 38400 chips or (2)
66.7
s = 256 chips
Option (2) can be used with advanced
base station receivers
Downlink: 10 ms = 38400 chips
Number of codes Number of codes under one scrambling
code = spreading factor
Uplink: 16.8 million
Downlink: 512
Code family Orthogonal Variable Spreading Factor Long 10 ms code: Gold code
Short code: Extended S(2) code family
Spreading Yes, increases transmission bandwidth No, does not affect transmission
