5.1 Physical Layer of TD-SCDMA 5.1.1 Transport Channels A typical TD-SCDMA wireless network can be divided into two parts: radio access network (RAN) and core network (CN) [1]. The physical layer offers data transport services to higher layers via the transport channel. A transport channel is defined by how the data is transferred over the air interface. In 3GPP specifications, transport channels are classified into two groups [2]: dedicated transport channel (DTrCH) and common transport channel (CTrCH).
