P. Kavipriya, C. Gomathy . Path Loss Prediction in WCDMA Systems using OVSF Codes. National Conference on Recent Trends in Computer Applications. NCRTCA, 1 (October 2013), 37-42.
Orthogonal Variable Spreading Factor (OVSF) channelization codes limit the performance of third generation(3G) mobile communication systems employing Wideband Code Division Multiple Access(WCDMA). Internal fragmentation occurs when allocated data rate is larger than what is requested while external fragmentation occurs when the OVSF code tree is too fragmented to support a call even if there are sufficient capacity remaining in the code tree. We propose single-code time-shared strategies that consider channel conditions while solving these fragmentation problems. Simulation results are discussed to show the benefits of the proposed scheme. Simulation results verify that our strategies do use the precious wireless bandwidth efficiently.
