2.3 Downlink Frame StructureFigure 2.4 shows the principal frame structure <strong>of</strong> the downlink dedicated physicalchannels. As in the uplink, each frame <strong>of</strong> 10 ms is split into 15 slots. Each slot is <strong>of</strong> length2560 chips, corresponding to one power control period. A super frame corresponds to 720ms, i.e. the super frame length corresponds to 72 frames.TFCI Data 1 TPC Data 2 PilotT slot =2560 chips, 10×2 k bits (k = 0..7)Slot 1 Slot i Slot 15T f =10 msFrame 1 Frame i Frame 72T super =720 msFigure 2.4: Frame Structure for Downlink DPCHThe parameter k is related to the SF <strong>of</strong> the physical channel asSF= 512k2(2.2)The spreading factor thus has a range <strong>of</strong> 4 to 512. Thus an additional spreading factor<strong>of</strong> 512 is permitted at the downlink. The different control bits have similar meaning to thosein the uplink. The exact number <strong>of</strong> bits in each <strong>of</strong> the downlink DPCH fields is described in[6].14
