TD-SCDMA Physical layer

Introduction

This page describes UTRA Physical Layer or TD-SCDMA Physical layer as per TDD mode. This example is for 1.28Mcps and diagram shows one used for transport channel part.

As shown in teh figure below TD-SCDMA physical layer transmitter covers following modules through which information from layer-2 traverses.
1. CRC and Tail bits addition
2. Transport block concatenation and code block segmentation
3. Channel Coding (CC/Turbo)
4. Radio frame equalization
5. Interleaving
6. Radio Frame Segmentation
7. Rate Matching
8. Multiplexing
9. Bit Scrambling
10.Physical channel mapping
11.Data modulation
12. Spreading
13. complex scrambling
14. Pulse shaping(RRC)
15. IQ modulation
16. RF up conversion and transmission to the channel
