Performance Analysis of 3-Stage Cell Search Process in wCDMA System

چکیده
In this paper, we study the performance benefits of cell search algorithm. The purpose of the cell search algorithm in UMTS is to estimate the spreading code of the serving base-station and its corresponding timing offset. The search procedure consists of 3 sequential and distinct stages: (1) slot-boundary synchronization, (2) frame-boundary synchronization with code-group identification, and (3) scrambling code identification. Also, we study the performance benefits of estimating multiple “code-time” hypotheses in each stage of the cell-search process. In addition, we also study the effect of oversampling and non-ideal sampling. Our results indicate that, in the presence of non-ideal sampling, performance improves significantly if the received signal is oversampled by a factor of 4 or more. We also show that an estimating 4 “codetime” hypothesis instead of 1 in the cell-search stages reduces the search-time (i.e. the code-acquisition time) considerably, in particular at low SNR.

متن کاملPerformance Enhancements to the WCDMA Cell Search Algorithms
In this paper, we study the various steps involved in the cell search process and an attempt has made to simulate them. When the received signal was correlated with the Primary Synchronization Code (PSC) sequences generated at the mobile station (MS), some peak values were obtained and the maximum of those peak values was displayed as the slot value for that particular frame. In frame synchroni...
متن کاملPresenting a New Model for Bank’s Supply Chain Performance Evaluating with DEA Solution Approach
Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) is a method for measuring the efficiency of peer decision making units (DMUs) with multiple inputs and outputs. The traditional DEA treats decision making units under evaluation as black boxes and calculates their efficiencies with first inputs and last outputs. This carries the notion of missing some intermediate measures in the process of changing the inputs to...

متن کاملCoding based Synchronization Algorithm for Secondary Synchronization Channel in WCDMA
A new code synchronization algorithm is proposed in this paper for the secondary cell-search stage in wideband CDMA systems. Rather than using the Cyclically Permutable (CP) code in the Secondary Synchronization Channel (S-SCH) to simultaneously determine the frame boundary and scrambling code group, the new synchronization algorithm implements the same function with less system complexity and ...
