BCCH Chip Bit - Broadcast Control Channel Chip Bit

This is the number of PN (Pseudorandom Noise) chips per BCCH (Broadcast Control Channel) bit. The chip bits vary depending on the rate. These are summarized below:

 

Spreading Rate

BCCH Chip Bits

Rate 1

64 x 1 when data rate = 19200bps

64 x 2 when data rate = 9600bps

64 x 4 when data rate = 4800bps

Rate 3

192 x 1 when data rate = 19200bps

192 x 2 when data rate = 9600bps

192 x 4 when data rate = 4800bps
