Abstract
Orthogonal Variable Spreading Factor (OVSF) codes are used in both UTRA-FDD and UTRA-TDD of the third-generation (3G) mobile communication systems. They can support multirate transmissions for mobile terminals with multicode transmission capabilities. In this paper, a new OVSF code assignment scheme, namely ``Multicode Multirate Compact Assignment'' (MMCA), is proposed and analyzed. The design of MMCA is based on the concept of ``compact index'' and takes into consideration mobile terminals with different multicode transmission capabilities and different Quality of Service (QoS) requirements. Priority differentiation between multirate realtime traffic and best-effort data traffic is also supported in MMCA. Analytical and simulation results show that MMCA is efficient and fair.
