Channelisation Codes used for UL and DL (3GPP TS 25.213)
C
ch, 1, 0

SF = 1
Code-tree for generation of Orthogonal Variable Spreading Factor (OVSF) codes.
Channelisation codes are uniquely described as C
ch,SF,k
, where SF is the spreading
factor of the code and k is the code number, 0 s k s SF-1.
Each level in the code tree defines channelisation codes of length SF, corresponding to
the used spreading factor.
