Forward Traffic Channels

• Used for the transmission of user and signaling information to a specific mobile station during a call.

• Maximum number of traffic channels: 64 minus one Pilot channel, one Sync channel, and 1 Paging channel.– This leaves each CDMA frequency with at least 55 traffic channels.– Unused paging channels can provide up to 6 additional channels.

Handoff in CDMA


Handoff Handoff is the process by which a mobile station maintains

communications with the Mobile Telephone Switching center(MSC), when traveling from the coverage area of one base station to that of another

Handoff keep the call established during the following conditions:– Subscriber crosses the boundaries of a cell– Subscriber experiences noise or other interference

above a specified threshold– A base station component experiences an out-of-service

condition during a call

CDMA Soft Handoff

Soft Handoff:The mobile station starts communications with a target base station without interrupting communications with the current serving base station– Make-before-break– Directed by the mobile not the base station,Undetectable by user– Improves call quality

Can involve up to three cells simultaneously and use all signals– Mobile station combines the frames from each cell

CDMA


CDMA Soft Handoff Mechanics

CDMA soft handoff is driven by the handset Handset continuously checks available pilots Handset tells system pilots it currently sees System assigns sectors (up to 6 max.), tells handset Handset assigns its fingers accordingly

Each end of the link chooses what works best, on a frame-by-frame basis Users are totally unaware of handoff


Pilot Strength Measurement Message

The Pilot Strength Measurement Message is used by the mobile station

to direct the Base Station Controller(BSC) in the handoff process.This

message uses in the Reverse Traffic Channel

A PSMM is sent to the system under one of the following conditions:

If MS finds a pilot in Neighbor or Remaining sets exceeds T_ADD

If an active set pilot drops below T_DROP after T_TDROP time

If a Candidate pilot exceeds an active pilot by T_COMP

CDMA Softer Handoff Softer Handoff is between sectors of

the same cell,that means multiple sectors of one BTS simultaneously serve a handset

Softer handoff occurs in BTS in a single channel element

Communications are maintained across both sectors until the mobile station transition has completed

MSC is aware but does not participate All activities are managed by the cell

site Signals received at both sectors can

be combined for improved quality

Why Power Control

CDMA is an interference-limited system based on the number of users,

the interference comes mainly from nearby users

each user is a noise source on the shared channel,this creates a

practical limit to how many users a system will sustain,so CDMA

also called soft capacity limit

The goal is to keep each MS at the absolute minimum power level

necessary to ensure acceptable service quality

Ideally the power received at the base station from each mobile

station should be the same(minimum signal to interference)

MS which transmit excessive power increase interference to other

Mobile station

Reverse Open-loop Power Control

Reverse open loop power is mobile station controlling its transmit power Reverse open loop power control consists of :

estimating how strong the mobile station should transmit based on a coarse measurement of how much power it is receiving from the base station

some correcting parameters delivered in the access parameters message The Reverse open loop method of power control provides a quick response to

changes in signal conditions.

Mobile BTS

Reverse Open LoopPower Control


Problems with Reverse Open Loop Power Control– Assumes same exact path loss in both directions; therefore,

cannot account for asymmetrical path loss– Estimates are based on total power received; therefore the

power received from other cell sites by mobile station introduces inaccuracies

Reverse Open-loop Power Control


Reverse Closed Loop Power Control

Compensates for asymmetries between the forward and reverse paths Consists of power up (0) & power down (1) commands sent to the

mobile stations, based upon their signal strength measured at the Base Station and compared to a specified threshold(setpoint)

Each command requests a 1dB increase or decrease of the mobile station transmit power

Transmitted 800 times per second, always at full power Allows to compensate for the effects of fast fading

Reverse Closed LoopPower Control


Reverse Outer Loop Power Control

Most gradual form of reverse link power control– Setpoint is varied/dynamic according to the FER on the Reverse

Traffic Channel (determined at the Base Station Controller)– Sampled at a rate of 50 frames per second (20 ms / frame)– Setpoint adjusted every 1-2 seconds

FER

Mobile BTS BSC

Reverse Outer Loop Power

Control


Setpoint

or



The goal of outer loop power control is adjusting the setpoint(Eb/No)

based on the reverse traffic channel FER value

If the received power from the mobile station,as measured at the

base station,is below the specified S/N threshold(setpoint),the base

station sends a “0”power control bit directing the MS to raise its

output power;if it is higher,it sends a “1” power control bit directing

the mobile station to lower its output power

The setpoint itself is raised or lowered by the reverse outer loop

power control to guarantee the desired frame error rate(FER)

level,typically 1%

Output power control bit is transmitted on the power control subchannel

in forward traffic channel

Fundamental Channel (traffic channel).


Forward Power Control in IS-95

The base station continually and slowly decreases power to each mobile station(each user’s forward traffic channel)

As the FER (determined at the mobile station) increases, the mobile station requests a Forward Traffic Channel power increase
