Wide-band CDMA for the UMTS/IMT-2000 satellite component

This paper describes the main aspects relevant to the development of a third-generation radio transmission technology (RTT) concept identified as satellite wide-band CDMA (SW-CDMA), which has been accepted by the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) as one of the possible RTTs for the satellite component of International Mobile Telecommunications-2000 (IMT-2000). The main outcomes of the extensive system engineering effort that has led to the above ITU RTT are described. In particular, we address propagation channel characteristics, satellite diversity, power control, pilot channel, code acquisition, digital modulation and spreading format, interference mitigation, and resource allocation. Due to its similarity with respect to the terrestrial W-CDMA proposal from which it is derived, the SW-CDMA open air interface solution is described briefly, with emphasis only on the major adaptation required to best cope with the satellite environment. Quantitative results concerning the physical-layer performance over realistic channel conditions, for both forward and reverse link, are reported. A system capacity study case for a low-Earth-orbit constellation is also provided.
