OVSF Code Sharing and Reducing the Code Wastage Capacity in WCDMA

摘要

The non quantized nature of user rate wastes the code capacity in Orthogonal Variable Spreading Factor Codes (OVSF) based Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) systems. The code sharing scheme in multi code CDMA is proposed to minimize the code rate wastage. The scheme combines the unused (wastage) capacity of already occupied codes to reduce the code blocking problem. Simulation results are presented to show the superiority of the proposed code assignment scheme as compared to existing schemes.
