- IS-95 reverse link frequency band is 824-849MHz and forward link frequency band is 869-894MHz.
- A PCS version of IS-95 has designed for international use in the 1800-2000MHz band
- A forward and reverse channel pair is separated by 45MHz for cellular band operation. Many users share a common channel for transmission. The maximum user
data rate is 9.6kbps.User data in IS-95 is spread to a channel chip rate of 1.2288Mcps using a combination of techniques. This spreading process is dierent for
forward and reverse links. - On the forward link the user data stream is encoded using a rate ½ Convolutional code, interleaved and spread by one of 64 orthogonal spreading sequences.
Each mobile in a given cell is assigned a dierent spreading sequence providing a perfect separation among the signals from the dierent users. To reduce
interference between the mobiles that use the same spreading sequence in dierent cells all signals in a particular cell are scrambled using a pseudorandom
sequence. - Orthogonally among all forward channel users within a cell is preserved because their signals are scrambled synchronously. A pilot channel is provided on the
forward link so that each subscriber within the cell can determine and react to the channel characteristics. - On the reverse link a dierent spreading strategy is used since each received signal arrives at base station via dierent propagation path. The reverse channel
user data stream is first convolutionally encoded with a rate 1/3 code. Aer interleaving each block of 6 encoded symbols is mapped to one of the 64 orthogonal
Walsh functions providing 64-ary orthogonal signalling. A final fourfold spreading giving a rate of 1.2288Mcps is achieved by spreading the resulting 307.2kcps
stream by user specific and base station specific codes. - The rate of 1/3 coding and mapping onto Walsh functions result in a greater tolerance for interference. This added robustness is important on the reverse link
due to the non-coherent and the in-cell interference received at the base station. - Another essential element of reverse link is tight control of each subscriber’s transmitter power to avoid the near-far problem that arises from varying received
power of the users. Open and close loop power control is used to adjust transmitted power. Power controls are sent at a rate of 800 bps. - At both base station and subscriber RAKE receivers are used to resolve and combine the multipath component thus reducing the degree of fading.
