    Logical, Transport, Physical Channels in 3G

    Uploaded by

    Logical, transport, and physical channels operate at different layers in UMTS. Logical channels map to transport channels, which then map to physical channels as they traverse layers. Logical channels include dedicated traffic channels, common traffic channels, and various control channels. Transport channels include dedicated channels, shared channels, broadcast channels, and random access channels. Physical channels provide the actual radio transmission and include channels like primary common control physical channels and dedicated physical channels.

    Logical,transport,physical channels

    As shown in the figure, there are three types of UMTS channels viz. logical channels(RLC layer),
    transport channels(MAC layer) and physical channels(PHY layer). As they tranverse between
    layers they map to other layer frames. For example logical channels are mapped to transport
    channels and transport channels are mapped tp physical channels.
    UMTS logical channels

    As shown in the figure, UMTS/WCDMA logical channels are divided into control channels and
    traffic channels(DTCH,CTCH). As the name suggests traffic channels carry information(voice)
    annd control channels carry signalling information useful to establish and maintain connection
    between UE and network(NodeB).Following are the functions of each of these logical channels. Pls.
    note that DL stands for Downlink from network to UE and UL stands for Uplink from UE to
    Network.
    DTCH(DL and UL, point to point)- Dedicated Traffic channel,carry user information.
    CTCH(unidirectional point to multi-point)-Common traffic channel.
    BCCH(DL broadcast)- Broadcast Control Channel, carry SYSTEM INFORMATION
    CCCH(Bidirectional)- Common Control Channel
    DCCH(Dedicated Control Channel, point to point bidirectional)
    PCCH(Paging Control Channel,DL)-carry paging information
    SHCCH(Shared Channel Control Channel,Bidirectional)

    Dedicated traffic carry user plane data (speech/packet Uplink(UL)/Downlin
    FDD/TDD
    channel(DTCH) data) k(DL)
    Dedicated control carry signalling messages used for
    Uplink/Downlink FDD/TDD

    Shared control
    carry control messages Uplink/Downlink TDD
    channel(SHCCH)
    Common control
    It is used to carry control messages Uplink/Downlink FDD/TDD
    channel(CCCH)
    Common traffic It is used to carry user traffic(e.g.cell
    Downlink FDD/TDD
    channel(CTCH) broadcast SMS)
    Paging control It is used to carry paging messages
    Downlink FDD/TDD
    channel(PCCH) directed towards UE
    Broadcast control It is used to carry broadcast messages
    Downlink FDD/TDD
    channel(BCCH) towards UE
    UMTS Transport channels

    Following are the transport type of UMTS channels.


    BCH(DL broadcast) - SYSTEM/Cell related INFORMATION
    FACH(DL/Forward Access Channel)- carry control information from network to UE
    PCH (DL)- Paging Channel
    DCH (UL or DL) - Dedicated Channel
    DSCH(DL) - Downlink Shared Channel
    USCH(UL)- Uplink Shared Channel
    RACH(UL)- Random Access Channel

    UMTS/WCDMA Duplex
    Function Direction
    Transport Channel Mode
    Random access
    It is used for initial access of the network by UE Uplink FDD/TDD
    channel(RACH)
    Common packet
    It is used as contention channel for bursty data Uplink FDD/
    channel(CPCH)
    Forward access It is used to transfer user data/control signalling
    Downlink FDD/TDD
    channel(FACH) messages
    Downlink shared It is used as shared channel carrying dedicated
    Downlink FDD/TDD
    channel(DSCH) user data/control messages in the downlink
    Uplink shared It is used as shared channel carrying dedicated
    Uplink TDD
    channel(USCH) user data/control messages in the uplink
    Broadcast
    Broadcast channel to all UEs in a cell Downlink FDD/TDD
    channel(BCH)
    Broadcast of paging & notification
    Paging channel(PCH) messages,also allows UE to make use of sleep Downlink FDD/TDD
