Multi-code Option for Higher Rates The relationship between the VSF and number of multi-codes is the subject of further study TM Common Pilot for coherent demodulation Adjustable Power SCH1 And SCH2 for faster initial cell search 7. Higher APC Rates 8. Removal of Link Maintenance Channel

3. 3 WP-CDMA Distinguishing Features DL Common Control Channel There are N power control channels associated with each user. These power control channels are time multiplexed. The pilot symbols required for coherent detection are time multiplexed with the other control information in the Common Control Channel in the DL direction. Messages such as L1 ACK (Busy). Free. CD. ARQ ACK/NAK will be sent through the Common control Channel as well. Some of the messages such as L1 ACK, TPC and CD bits are not interleaved since fast response time is required. L1 ACK requires a predetermined time allocation in the.625 ms slot. This is required every other slot at the end of the DSMA/CDMA-CD mini-slot which corresponds to the.25 ms guard time. Other less delay sensitive messages and commands go through the signaling channel which is time multiplexed with other information in the Common Control Channel.
