A arbitrary channelization code of SF=256 is used for the S-CPICH.
A S-CPICH is scrambled by either the primary or a secondary scrambling
code.
There may be 0,1 or several S-CPICH per cell.
A S-CPICH may be transmitted over the entire cell or part of the cell. It is
may be a phase reference for a dl DPCH, but it is decided by high layer
signalling.
27. SCH (1)
The Synchronization Channel (SCH) is a downlink signal
used for cell search.
The SCH consists of two sub channels, the Primary and
Secondary SCH.
The 10 ms radio frames of the Primary and Secondary
SCH are divided into 15 slots, each of length 2560 chips.
Structure of synchronization channel
28. SCH (2)
P-SCH
The Primary SCH consists of a modulated code of length
256 chips. The modulated code need not spreading and
scrambling.
The primary synchronization code (PSC) is transmitted once
every slot
The PSC is the same for every cell in the system.
S-SCH
The Secondary SCH consists of repeatedly transmitting a
length 15 sequence of modulated codes of length 256 chips.
the Secondary Synchronization Codes (SSC), transmitted in
parallel with the Primary SCH.
Each SSC is chosen from a set of 16 different codes of
length 256.
This sequence on the Secondary SCH indicates which of the
code groups the cell's downlink scrambling code belongs to.
32. Cell Search
UE has to get the system information before it
registers with the network and access to services.
The system information is beared in the BCH
channel, and its data is mapped into the Primary
CCPCH.
So the cell search procedure is mainly to decode
the data of P-CCPCH.
33. Cell search procedure (1)
The cell search is typically carried out in three
steps:
Step1: Slot synchronization
During the first step of the cell search procedure the UE
uses the SCH channel's primary synchronization code
to acquire slot synchronization to a cell.
This is typically done with a single matched filter (or any
similar device) matched to the primary synchronization
code which is common to all cells. The slot timing of the
cell can be obtained by detecting peaks in the matched
filter output.
35. Cell search procedure (2)
Step2: Frame synchronization and code-group
identification
During the second step of the cell search procedure, the
UE uses the SCH channel's secondary synchronization
code to find frame synchronization and identify the code
group of the cell found in the first step.
This is done by correlating the received signal with all
possible secondary synchronization code sequences,
and identifying the maximum correlation value. Since
the cyclic shifts of the sequences are unique the code
group as well as the frame synchronization is
determined.
38. Cell search procedure (3)
Step3: Scrambling-code identification
During the third and last step of the cell search
procedure, the UE determines the exact primary
scrambling code used by the cell.
The primary scrambling code is typically identified
through symbol-by-symbol correlation over the CPICH
with all codes within the code group identified in the
second step.
After the primary scrambling code has been
identified, the Primary CCPCH can be detected so
that the cell specific BCH information can be read.

41. RACH procedure
UE decodes BCH to find out the available RACH sub-channels and
their scrambling codes and signatures
It selects randomly one of the available sub-channels and signatures
The downlink power is measured and the initial RACH power level is
set with a proper margin due to open loop inaccuracy
UE transmits 1 ms long preamble with the selected signature
Node B replies by repeating the preamble using Acquisition Indication
Channel (AICH)
UE decodes AICH message to see whether the NodeB has detected
the preamble
If AICH is not detected, the preamble is resend with 1 dB higher transmit
power
If AICH is detected, a 10 or 20 ms long message part is transmitted with
the same power as the last preamble
