System Description
Chapter 3 System Function
3-16
If smart antenna or beam shaping formation technology is adopted, the BTS will
provide one or more Forward Auxiliary Pilot Channels (F-APICHs) on the forward
channel to improve the system capacity and coverage.
When diversity transmit method is used in CDMA channel with F-APICH, BTS will
provide corresponding Forward Transmit Diversity Auxiliary Pilot Channel
(F-ATDPICH).
l
Forward Common Control Channel (F-CCCH)
F-CCCH are a series of coding & interleaving spreading and modulation spread
spectrum signals, used by the MSs in the BTS coverage area. BTS transmits the
system information and the designated MS information on this channel.
l
Forward Sync. Channel (F-SYNCH)
The MSs in the coverage of BTS get initial synchronization information from
F-SYNCH. The rate of synchronization channel is 1,200bit/s and the frame length is
26.667ms. The PN of pilot signal in I channel and Q channel of synchronization
channel is the same as the PN in the pilot channel of the same BTS.
l
Forward Traffic Channel (F-TCH)
F-TCH is used to send the user information and signaling information to an MS during
the call. F-TCH can be sub-divided into:
Forward Dedicated Control Channel (F-DCCH), which bears traffic information and
signaling information,
Forward Fundamental Channel (F-FCH), which bears traffic information,
Forward Power Control sub-channel (F-PC sub-channel): which are the signals sent
only in forward fundamental channel or forward dedicated control channel,
Forward Supplemental Code Channel (F-SCCH): which bears traffic information, and
is applicable to RC1 and RC2, and
Forward Supplemental Channel (F-SCH), which bears traffic information and is
applicable to RC3, RC4 and RC5.
l
Forward Broadcast Channel (F-BCH)
F-BCH is used by BTS to send the system information and broadcast messages
(such as short messages). F-BCH operates in discontinuous mode.
l
Forward Paging Channel (F-PCH)
F-PCH is used by BTS to send the system information and MS-specific information to
MS.
Paging channel can be used to send the information with the fixed data rate of
9,600bit/s or 4,800bit/s. In a certain system (with the same system identification
number), all paging channels send the information with the same data rate.
