Abstract

This paper focuses on a CDMA design study for future third-generation mobile and personal communication systems such as FPLMTS and UMTS. In the design study, a rigorous top down approach is adopted starting from the most essential objectives and requirements of universal third-generation mobile systems. Emphasis is laid on high flexibility with respect to the implementation of a wide range of services and service bit rates including variable rate and packet services. Flexibility in frequency and radio resource management, system and service deployment, and easy operation in mixed-cell and multioperator scenarios are further important design goals. The system concept under investigation is centered around an open and flexible radio interface architecture based on asynchronous direct-sequence CDMA with three different chip rates of approximately 1, 5, and 20 Mchip/s. The presented CDMA system concept forms the basis for an experimental test system (testbed) which is currently under development. This experimental system concept has been jointly established by the partners in the European RACE project R2020 (CODIT). The paper describes the radio transmission scheme and appropriate receiver principles and presents first performance results based on simulations.
