There is 2 types of CPICH:P-CPICH and S-PICH P-CPICH:

B P-CPICH of different cell uses the same Cch,256,0 OVSF code to spread ,the bit
rate of P-CPICH is also fixed.

B The P-CPICH is scrambled by the primary scrambling code. B There is one and only P-CPICH per cell. B The P-CPICH is broadcast over the entire cell. it is used to search cell primary
scrambling code during cell selection procedure. And it is also used for measurement and estimation during handover, cell selection and cell re-selection.
T
S-CPICH:
B A arbitrary channelization code of SF=256 is used for the S-CPICH. B A S-CPICH is scrambled by either the primary or a secondary scrambling code. B There may be 0,1 or several S-CPICH per cell. B A S-CPICH may be transmitted over the entire cell or part of the cell. It is may be
a phase reference for a dl DPCH, but it is decided by high layer signalling.

Physical layer procedure
Cell Search
UE has to get the system information before it registers with the network and access to services.
The system information is beared in the BCH channel, and its data is mapped into the Primary CCPCH.
So the cell search procedure is mainly to decode the data of P-CCPCH.
42
Cell search procedure (1)
T T
The cell search is typically carried out in three steps: Step1: Slot synchronization
B During the first step of the cell search procedure the UE uses the
SCH channel's primary synchronization code to acquire slot synchronization to a cell.

B This is typically done with a single matched filter (or any similar
device) matched to the primary synchronization code which is common to all cells. The slot timing of the cell can be obtained by detecting peaks in the matched filter output.
Sketch of Slot Synchronization
43

T
Step2: Frame synchronization and code-group identification

B During the second step of the cell search procedure, the UE uses the
SCH channel's secondary synchronization code to find frame synchronization and identify the code group of the cell found in the first step.
B This is done by correlating the received signal with all possible
secondary synchronization code sequences, and identifying the maximum correlation value. Since the cyclic shifts of the sequences are unique the code group as well as the frame synchronization is determined.

Mapping of the Secondary Synchronization Code

T
Step3: Scrambling-code identification

B During the third and last step of the cell search procedure, the UE
determines the exact primary scrambling code used by the cell.

B The primary scrambling code is typically identified through symbol-
by-symbol correlation over the CPICH with all codes within the code group identified in the second step.
T
After the primary scrambling code has been identified, the Primary CCPCH can be detected so that the cell specific BCH information can be read.

Power Control
Why Power Control?
All CDMA users occupy the same frequency at the same time! Frequency and time are not used as discriminators. CDMA operates by using CODES to discriminate between users. CDMA interference comes mainly from nearby users Each user is a small voice in a roaring crowd -- but with a uniquely recoverable code.
Transmit power on all users must be tightly controlled so their signals reach the base station at the same signal level and at the absolute minimum power level necessary to ensure acceptable service quality.

Basic concepts
Active Set:
B The set of cells connected with UE; B User information is transmitted from these cells.
Monitor Set:
B The set of cells not within the active set but being monitored
by a UE according to the adjacent node list allocated by UTRAN.

T
Detect Set:
B The set of cells in neither the active set nor the monitor set.
59
Handover
Soft handover process

T
Measurement B The RNC sends a measurement control message to UE. B UE should perform measurement as required and report the measurement result. B Generally, the measured quantity is the common pilots Ec/No. Decision B The RNC stores data of different cells according to the measurement results. B The RNC makes preliminary decision according to the event decision method. B e.g. B When the event is reported and the target cell is acceptable, send an active set update command to add/delete the cell into/from the active set. Execution B The RNC sends an active set update command to UE and UE starts handover.

3GSS: 3G System Simulation
T
3GSS is a network simulation platform developed by ZTE, aimed at the research of network planning technology and system algorithm analysis. Now it supports the combined simulation of R99 and HSDPA. 3GSS is based on Monte Carlo simulation method, just like Aircom Asset 3G. Network behavior is deduced through the statistical average of multiple snapshots. Each snapshot is an iteration of simulated terminal access process until the convergence condition is satisfied. So, whats the difference between 3GSS and Aircom?
Comparison between 3GSS and AIRCOM
Suit for study the influence of algorithm on network performance Not aimed at engineering simulation, e.g., it doesnt support digital map, but uses ideal hexagonal cell topology to model the radio network. The result of 3GSS simulation cannot be used directly for practical network design.
A typical engineering simulation suite, the results are used as guidance for network construction, including engineering parameters and radio parameters. Can be used in different phases of network roll out, e.g., network planning, network optimization, capacity expansion, etc.
101
3GSS and AIRCOM Complement Each Other

T
The design goals of 3GSS and AIRCOM differ from each other to a certain extent, but they can be used as complementary tools.

UE State transition
UE Working Modes
There are two basic working modes:

B Idle O UE stands by without any service. Theres no connection between UE and UTRAN. B Connected O UE transferred to the connected mode after accomplishing RRC Connection Setup. O UE has 4 states under the connected mode: Cell-DCH, Cell-FACH, Cell-PCH, URA-PCH
UE State transition
UE States Under the Connected Mode

T
Cell-DCH
B UE is activated, and in service using its dedicated channels. B There are dedicated channels in both uplink and downlink. B UTRAN knows exactly which cell the UE is in.
Cell-FACH
B UE is activated, but without too much date to transmit, so
theres no need to assign dedicated channels to it.

B Downlink data transmitted in FACH, while uplink in RACH. B UTRAN knows exactly which cell the UE is in.
154
UE State transition
UE States Under the Connected Mode

T
Cell-PCH
B There is no data transmitted in both uplink and downlink. B UE needs to listen to PICH for paging information. B UE works in discrete receiving, which saves the power effectively. B UTRAN knows exactly which cell the UE is in. B UE needs to do cell update procedure when it passes cells.
URA-PCH
B There is no data transmitted in both uplink and downlink. B UE needs to listen to PICH for paging information and receive discretely. B UTRAN only knows which URA (UTRAN Registration Area) UE exists. B UE updates its location information only when its URA changes, which
further reduces the signaling saves resource.
UE State transition
RRC State Transition (I)

Transit from IDLE Mode
URA_PCH CELL_PCH
After RRC Connection Setup, UE will transit to CELL_FACH or CELL_DCH. CN indicates UE using dedicated channel (CELL_DCH) or common channel (CELL_FACH) according to the service request. If there is no service right now, UE will be indicated into PCH mode or release RRC connection back to IDLE mode.

UE has no activated uplink. Paging Information makes UE back to CELL_FACH or CELL_DCH mode. In CELL_PCH, UE should transit to CELL_FACH first to finish cell updating, and go back if no service request. In URA_PCH, if URA changes, UE also transits to CELL_FACH to finish cell updating first before it goes back to URA_PCH.

Call Setup Flow

B CN initiates a paging message to RNC. B RNC judges the paging message from the CN and then sends a paging
message to the corresponding UE.

B If no RRC connection is available, UE will send a RRC connection setup
request message (RRC Connection Request) to RNC.

B RNC determines to set up a RRC connection according to the service
request and system resource occupation then sends a RRC connection setup message (RRC Connection Setup) to UE.
B After signaling connection setup, the higher layer of UE (NAS) sends a
service request message to CN through a directly transfer message.

B CN sends a RAB assignment message (RAB Assignment Request) to
the RNC to allocate resource for UEs request.

WCDMA Network optimization Cases
Case1(Handover problem)
T
In especially urban environment, the handover region between two cells might be too small. If the UE passes such an area in a very quick speed, the call might be dropped.
There might be sudden changes of signal strength at crossroads of the city.
Case1
For successful handover, the increase and decrease speed of the signals received by the UE can enable the UE to complete the necessary active set updating process.
211
Case1
The handover region should be big enough to ensure the UE to complete the active set up-dating process before being interfered or compressed.
Case1
Cover the crossroad with one cell.
212
Case1
The antenna of the cell should be put higher than the buildings along the street so that the cell coverage area can be bigger.
Case1
T
How to determine that the call-drop is caused by too small handover region or sudden change of signal strength?
B Before the call is dropped, the Ec/Io reported by the UE is very
poor.
B Once in the idle mode, the UE sets up connection with the new
cell.
B The Ec/Io reported by the UE becomes very good. B The big difference of Ec/Io indicates that the call-drop is caused by
these reasons.
B The pilot strength data of the two cells recorded by the Scanner
also proves the above conclusion.
213
Case2
T
It is found that the call-drop rate is very high on the seaside express way from TRI002 to TRI004. According to the testing data analysis, the coverage distance of 404 is very short at the call-drop venue.
Case2
To take a birds-eye view from the sky, it is found that there are several tall buildings in front of the 404 cell.
214
Case2
Problem analysis:
T
As the handover region is short and the call-drop venue on the seaside road is close to the TRI002 site (only 400m), signals might be strong at first but disappear quickly. This can cause slow speed of strong signals of the adjacent 404 cell in adding the active set. It can also cause a lot of ping-pang handover and result in call-drop.
Case2
Solution:
Event 1A event Reporting Range Constant
Hysteresis
Optimize the handover parameter: Adjust 1A and 1B event handover parameters so that adding events can easily occur and deleting events occur slowly and difficultly. The values of handover parameters 1C and 1D events are adjusted. Replacement threshold with strongest pilot is reduced; replacement observation duration is increased. The advantage of such adjustment is to enable high percentage of the users using strongest and stable scramble.

Case3
Problem analysis:
T
Spot A is about 2.7km from Sousse2 site. A is the entrance of a uptown highway and has a turn of about 90 degrees. Signals of cell 228 of Erriadh TT site become weak suddenly because the cell is sheltered.
Spot B is about 2km from CTT Skanes site. The seaside road that B located is at a lower sea level than the CTT Skanes site. Signals of cell 332 of CTT Skanes site can be received by the mobile phone after penetrating several 2~3-layer buildings. At around spot B, the pilot signal strength is reduced to be below -100dBm.
The NodeB in Sahaling is quite restricted by the environment. The site height is only 25m; there is little space for increasing the height.

After line testing, it is found that the 425 (scramble) cell of the site provides cross-cell coverage. Cell signals are still strong in the First Zhongshan Road, which is far from the Flower hall site. As the 425 cell is not configured as the Neighbor-Cell of cell 436 in the first sector of the Shuqianlu site located on the First Zhongshan Road, calls are easily dropped in this area.
The above figure shows the pilot Ec/Io route testing result on the First Zhongshan Road (affected by signals from the Flower hall site, Ec/Io in area A is very poor; call-drop rate in the area is high; however, the pilot strength of the area is good.)

Case 4
T
Analysis of the call-drop reason:
As there is shadow fading, the occurrence of the following events can be detected from the active set upgrading report. Cell2 is the best service area; Cell1 is deleted from the activation cell; Cell3 is not in the Neighbor-Cell list of Cell2; strong signals from Cell3 result in poor Ec/Io; Poor Ec/Io results in call-drops.
Solution:
Add Cell3 into Cell2s Neighbor-Cell list; As Cell3 is in a far distance, it is not expected to be a member of the active set in the problematic area; Reduce the transmit power of Cell3 and increase its tilt angle in order to control its signal coverage range. At the same time, take into consideration the coverage range to be provided by Cell3.
Case 4
Execute solution:
T
Add the mechanical tilt angle of the antenna of Huachang site 425 cell;
Add Huachang site 425 cell into the Neighbour-Cell list of Shuqianlu site;
Reduce the maximum transmit power, public channel power and pilot channel power of Flower hall site 425 cell by 3dB.

T
After optimization, the pilot Ec/Io of area A is obviously improved.
After optimization, there is no call-drop
218
Case 4
T
There is no strict definition for the high site. It is a relative concept.
It is not necessarily wrong to put the UMTS base station on the top of the hill.
The high site can easily receive uplink interference generated by other users.
The bigger the loads in the high site coverage area, the more possible the problem might occur.
If the network is vacant or lightly loaded, the effect of the high site is not obvious. But it still cause cross-cell coverage, pilot pollution and call-drop.
Case 4
T T
Suggestion In urban areas, buildings are densely located and the penetration loss is big; the radio transmission environment is complicated and the NodeB coverage distance is small. Hence the antenna should not be put too high. According to the present building density and average height, the antenna height can be about 35m; it should be 10~15m higher than the average height of surrounding buildings. Of course, the specific height of the antenna should be determined according to the local radio transmission environment.
In rural areas, population is relatively small and buildings are not densely located; distances between base stations are big. Hence the antenna should be high; in general, the antenna height in rural areas is around 50m and should be 15m higher than the average height of its surrounding.
In the sea, the radio transmission model is similar as the transmission model for free spaces. The radio transmission environment is good; radio electric waves can be transmitted to a far distance. The site can be located on a high hill (higher than 100m) in order to expand its coverage.
In deserts and Gobi areas, signals are transmitted to a farer distance than in ordinary plains. The antenna height is usually 60m or higher in order to expand the signal coverage area.
219
Case 5
The Neighbour-Cell list problems
T
The Neighbour-Cell list is a cell list that might be added into the active set;
Cells in the Neighbour-Cell list will be measured as whether they meet the requirement for soft handover or softer handover with the main service cell;
T T
The number of cells in the Neighbour-Cell list is up to 32; Avoid missing Neighbour-Cells with best signals in the Neighbour-Cell list.
Case 5
The network planning tool can use proper algorithm to automatically plan the Neighbour-Cell list; such planning is always based on the interference among cells; If the pilot signals of one cell is very strong but the cell is not added in the active set, signals of the cell will become strong interference; Either single-directional configuration or bi-directional configuration might be adopted between Neighbour-Cells; In setting the Neighbour-Cell list, take into first considerations about the cell interference and the cells possibility of becoming a main service cell of the MS; The method of automatically creating the Neighbour-Cell list via the network planning tool can be regarded as an initial reference of the Neighbour-Cell list. Manual adjustment is needed. The Neighbour-Cell list should finally be optimized by using the route testing data.
220
Case 5
T
According to repeated route tests, it is found that calls are usually dropped during the handover in the direction from the Flower hall site to the Yunshan Hotel site; in the opposite direction from the Yunshan Hotel site to the Flower hall site, no call-drop occurs.
Case 5
Problem analysis:
T
According to testing data analysis, the section 20m from the call-drop venue is mainly covered by signals from the third sector (scramble 426) of the Flower hall site instead of signals from the first sector (scramble 424) of the Flower hall site. The reason might be the third sector (scramble 426) of the Flower hall site is sheltered by a tall building in front of it; signals of this sector are reflected to the road segment of 20m between the Flower hall site and the Yunshan Hotel site. Check the Neighbour-Cell list; it is found that the third sector (scramble 414) of the Yunshan Hotel site has configured the third sector of the Flower hall site as an Neighbour-Cell, while the third sector (scramble 426) of the Flower hall site does not configure the third sector (scramble 414) of the Yunshan Hotel site as an NeighbourCell. This has caused a failure in single-directional handover and resulted in call-drop.
Solution:
T
Configure the third sector (scramble 414) of the Yunshan Hotel site as an Neighbour-Cell of the third sector (scramble 426) of the Flower hall site.

T
After the Neighbour-Cell is configured, route tests are made on the road segment between the Flower hall site and the Yunshan Hotel site. No call-drop occurs.
221
Case 5
Summary
T
In the network planning phase, the Neighbour-Cell list can be automatically generated via the network planning tool.
Optimization of the Neighbour-Cell list can be executed via route tests and statistics analysis of the route testing data.
The Neighbour-Cell list optimized via route test data statistics analysis is a short Neighbour-Cell list. And if necessary, the preference sequence in the Neighbour-Cell list can be very clear.
By analyzing the route test data, Neighbour-Cells not configured in the Neighbour-Cell list via planning tool can be found.
Case 6
If the path loss values from the MS to multiple cells are similar, problems will be generated as there is no dominant server.
Such problems include poor Ec/Io, low downlink capacity, and frequent updating of the active set.
222
Case 6
Add loads on a small network with 7 omni-directional sites; there are 200 voice terminals in average; the connection rate is 100%.
Case 6
Remove the central site; pilot pollution will be generated in the central area, which leads to the emulated Ec/Io failure (the coverage probability now is 78%).
223
Case 6
Increase the pilot power from 33 dBm to 38 dBm; simulated Ec/Io failures disappear; but downlink Eb/No failures occur in the same area.
Case 6
Zoom in
Pilot pollution
224
Case 6
Solution:
In the precondition of satisfying coverage, adjust the tilt angle, azimuth and power parameters of Neighbour-Cells so that signals of one cell become a dominant server.
Add a site in the problematic area; adopt one cell of the new site into the dominant server.
