CDMA CDMA – Code Division Multiple Access
Fully digital wireless data transmission system Not designed for voice at all
Uses special random numbers to encode bits of information
Allows multiple access by assigning different users different random numbers on the same channel.
Users have control of a very wide channel bandwidth 1.25 to 5 MHz
The only limit to the system is the computing ability of the base station and it’s ability to separate noise from actual data

IS-95 CDMA is an access method. IS-95 was the first ‘operating system’ to
use CDMA Invented by Qualcomm Began production in 1995. At this point, this is still called 2G wireless.
Known as a narrowband system. Being supplanted by CDMA2000 (WCDMA)
and UMTS, fully 3G systems. They both use CDMA. Known as wideband systems.April 21, 2023
How IS-95 Works When a phone is turned on, it scans one of
the forward channels to find a base station identifier Camps on the strongest signal
The phone sends out an encrypted pass key and gains access to the network
It can then send and receive calls. It is assigned a 1.25 MHz wide frequency to
operate on It listens for pages on the forward channel
to let it know it has a call incoming This is all very similar to how GSM operates
so farApril 21, 2023
IS-95 Vocoders
IS-95 uses extremely advanced vocoders that use variable encoding rates just like GSM
They operate at variable rates, up to a maximum of 9600 bps
At a minimum, it encodes 1200 bps, so that the phone doesn’t seem dead
The quality, though less than AMPS, is much higher than GSM, on average

How IS-95 Works
The access method is what makes IS-95 different The access method is called CDMA
CDMA is a transmission technique to pass information from the mobile to the base station and from the base station back to the mobileApril 21, 2023
Mobile Wireless CDMA Design Considerations
RAKE receiver – when multiple versions of a signal arrive more than one chip interval apart, RAKE receiver attempts to recover signals from multiple paths and combine them This method achieves better performance
than simply recovering dominant signal and treating remaining signals as noise
Soft Handoff – mobile station temporarily connected to more than one base station simultaneously

CDMA..
used in several wireless broadcast channels (cellular, satellite, etc) standards
unique “code” assigned to each user; i.e., code set partitioning
all users share same frequency, but each user has own “chipping” sequence (i.e., code) to encode data
encoded signal = (original data) X (chipping sequence)
decoding: inner-product of encoded signal and chipping sequence
allows multiple users to “coexist” and transmit simultaneously with minimal interference (if codes are “orthogonal”)
April 21, 2023
CDMA.. Let the data rate of the ith user by Ri(t) Let the code assigned to the ith user by Ci(t)
i.e. all the codes are orthogonal Each user uses its code to spread its signal – the signal
transmitted by the ith user is Si(t) = Ri(t)Ci(t) The signal received BS is the sum of all transmitted
signals (ignore multi-path copies for the time being),
∑ Si(t) = ∑ Ri(t)Ci(t)

CDMA..
Demodulation (De-spreading): Receiver dedicates a path structure per user – multiplies the received signal with the kth user code
Ck(t) X ∑ Si(t) = Ck(t) X ∑ Ri(t)Ci(t)
= Rk(t)
i.e. only the kth signal is retrieved from the kth receiver path
CDMA Analogy 10 people in a room.
5 speak English, 2 speak Spanish, 2 speak Chinese, and 1 speaks Russian
Everyone is talking at relatively the same time over the same medium – the air
Who can listen to whom and why? Who can’t you understand? Who can’t speak to anyone else?
April 21, 2023
CDMA Spread Spectrum.
A signal takes up 6 – 10 times the bandwidth that it needs at a minimum.
This seems deliberately inefficient. The military used spread spectrum
communications because the signal is: Difficult to block. Difficult to listen in on. Difficult to even identify from noise.
Much more difficult to tune into a certain frequency.
April 21, 2023
CDMA In CDMA, all users share the same 1.25 MHz bandwidth
They all transmit a signal that’s the exact same size, 1.25 MHz There’s actually .02 MHz of a guard band, meaning that the actual
bandwidth is 1.23 MHz However, with CDMA, unique digital codes are used to
separate each of the mobile phones Essentially, this makes each mobile phone speak a different
language Also, it’s language is very unpredictable, it starts at a random
language and changes in random fashion with a given seed. Also, the base station can speak every language as long as it is
synchronized Also, the languages are special in that they will be able to
mathematically never interfere with each other Each bit of the conversation is encoded with this special code
April 21, 2023
CDMA Codes In IS-95, the mobile and base station must be
synchronized to a nearly perfect time clock CDMA actually uses GPS satellites to obtain a
very accurate, system wide clock This clock is obtained by every cell phone
April 21, 2023
CDMA Codes.. The base station and mobile phone
have an algorithm for generating pseudo random numbers Uses something called Walsh Vectors
This mathematical function has a way to generate 128 bit random numbers that are orthogonal to every other random number that is has generated
This random number generator has a very large period
When they both start at the same seed (the time), both the mobile and base station should generate the same random numbers
The random number is actually only 32 bits
April 21, 2023
CDMA Codes.. This random number is convoluted with
the data Also, a time stamp is added And error codes are added
The result is 128 bits that represent only 1 bit of data This is a very computationally intense process.
But, modern cell phones have fast processors
So, the original 9600 bps of conversation has been multiplied to 1.23 Mbps.April 21, 2023
CDMA Codes Example These codes are designed to never interfere
with any other codes to a very high probability The base station, using the mobile’s known
code, can convolute this code with everything that it received This convolution results in only what the mobile
sent. The base station does have to be smart
enough to recognize between voice traffic and noise

billing information The interworking, function (IWF) that allows
an MSC to connect to other networks The auxiliary (AUX) equipment that can
connect to an MT The authentication center (AuC) in GSM is
shown as the AC and the operation and maintenance center

IS-95.. CDMA occupies the same frequency
spectrum as AMPS and IS-136 Each carrier occupies 1.25 MHz,
whereas in AMPS and IS-136 was 30 KHz IS-95 forward channel consists of 4
types of logical channels Pilot Ch Synchronization Ch Paging Ch Traffic Ch
April 21, 2023
April 21, 2023
IS-95..Forward ChannelForward Channel Each carrier contains pilot, synchronization, up to seven
paging and number of traffic channels Channels are spread from one another using different
spreading codes Modulation scheme is QPSK Any information contained in the symbol form is
modulated by Walsh codes Each Walsh code identifies one of the 64 forward
channels After the channel symbol spread using orthogonal
codes, they are scrambled in the in-phase and quadrature phase line by Pseudorandom Noise (PN)-spreading codes
PN-codes are not orthogonal
April 21, 2023
Why we have two spreading codes?
The orthogonal codes are used to differentiate between the transmissions within a cell
The PN spreading codes are used to isolate different cells (BSs) that are using the same frequencies
The same PN sequence is used in all BSs The offset for each BS is different. Of course, this
requires synchronization Synchronization is achieved by GPS
April 21, 2023
The pilot channel Provide a reference signal for all MSs Spread using the PN spreading code to identify
the BS No power control in the pilot channel
April 21, 2023
The Sync channel Used to acquire initial time synchronization Synch message includes system ID (SID),
network ID (NID), the offset of the PN short code, the state of the PN-long code, and the paging channel data rate (4.8/9.6 Kbps)
Uses W32 for spreading Operates at 1200 bps
April 21, 2023
The Paging channels Used to page the MS in case of an incoming call,
or to carry the control messages for call set up Uses W1-W7 There is no power control Additionally scrambled by PN long code, which is
generated by the Linear feedback shift register (LFSR) of length 42
The rate 4.8 Kbps or 9.6Kbps
April 21, 2023
The Traffic channels Carry user information Two possible date rates
RS1={9.6, 4.8, 2.4, 1.2 Kbps} RS2={14.4, 7.2, 3.6, 1.8 Kbps}
RS1 is mandatory for IS-95, but support for RS2 is optional
Also carry power control bits for the reverse channel
April 21, 2023
PN-codes PN-codes are not random, they are
deterministic, periodic sequences with the following properties: PN are generated by combining the
outputs of feedback shift registers The sequence are repeated every 2n-1 The initial contents of the stages and
the feedback determine the successive contents of the stages

IS-95 reverse channel Fundamentally different from the forward
channels Uses QPSK for power efficiency QPSK demodulation is easy 869-894 MHz range No spreading of the data using orthogonal codes Same orthogonal codes are used for WAVEFORM
encoding Two types of logical channels: The access
channels and the reverse traffic channels
