Section A:

Basic Principles

Background

CDMA advantages:

Inherent Privacy
Anti-jam characteristics
Immunity to frequency
selective noise
Multipath mitigation (due
to RAKE receivers)
Soft handoff
Power saving

CDMA disadvantages

Near-Far problem mandatory power

control
Precise power control possible by
spending more power on power control
messages.
Synchronization is required

Background (contd)

Area of concern: CAPACITY

FDMA/TDMA are Bandwidth limited
CDMA Interference limited
Reduction in interference direct and
linear increase in capacity

Voice activity monitoring (squelching)

Spatial Isolation (Multisectored antennas)
Frequency reuse
6

FDMA cells with

reuse K = 7.

CDMA cells with

reuse K = 1.

Power Control

Single most important system

requirement
Subscriber units transmit as
much below (or above) a
nominal level as the received
power level is above (or below)
its nominal level. (dynamic
range of almost 80 dB)
Closed loop power control
tracks variations due to path
loss and shadowing (slow),
modeled as log-normal.

Calculate the CDMA

system utilization
( 1/3)
Consider a DS-CDMA
system whose one way system
Bandwidth is 25 MHz. Suppose the.data rate per
user is 8kps. Assume the Capacity degradation due
to imperfect power control is 0.5 and source activity
factor of 0.4.
(a) Calculate the Eb/Io specification required to support a
maximum number of 250 user/cell if signal to background
ratio is 26 dB and frequency reuse efficiency is 0.9.
(b) If the actual operating value of Eb/Io is 12 dB, calculate the
system utilization for the parameter value specified in part
(a).

Calculate the CDMA

system utilization
(a) Calculate the Eb/Io specification
required to support a
( 2/3)
maximum number of 250 user/cell if signal to background
ratio is 26 dB and frequency reuse efficiency is 0.9.
With the assumptions in the given problem, the E b/I0
specification
can be written as
It is given that S/Pn = 26 dB or 400,
=25 x 1000/8 =3125,
and Nc = 250.
Eb/I0 = = 11.25 = 10.5dB

f = 0.9, Gp = Bs/Rb

Calculate the CDMA

system utilization
(b) If the actual operating value of Eb/Io is 12 dB,
( 3/3)
calculate the system utilization for the
parameter value specified in part (a).
The utilization can be expressed as

UMS =

If the value of Eb/I0 is 12 dB, or 15.85, then the

system utilization is
UMS = 1 + 0.9 x = 178
