3G is developed to achieve:

Universal frequency band for standard and

seamless global coverage
High spectral efficiency
High quality of service with complete security
and reliability
Easy and smoothly transition from 2G to 3G,
compatible with 2G
Provide multimedia services, with the rates:
Vehicle environment: 144kbps
Walking environment: 384kbps
Indoor environment: 2Mbps
Frequency band

channels of one transmitter
For downlink, channelization code ( OVSF code ) is used to
separate different physical channels of one cell.
Example:
1. For voice service (AMR), downlink SF is 128, it means there
are 128 voice services maximum can be supported in one
WCDMA carrier
2. For Video Phone (64k packet data) service, WCDMA
downlink SF is 32, it means there are 32 voice services
maximum can be supported in one WCDMA carrier

Scrambling code is used to distinguish different transmitters

For downlink, scrambling code is used to separate different

cells in one carrier
Channelization code (Uplink): is used to separate different
physical channels of one UE

Scrambling Code (Uplink) : is used to separate different UEs in

one carrier
