4 General
In the following, a separation between the data modulation and the spreading modulation has been made. The data
modulation for 3.84Mcps TDD (including 3.84 Mcps MBSFN IMB) and 7.68Mcps TDD is defined in clause 5 'Data
modulation for the 3.84 Mcps and 7.68Mcps options', the data modulation for 1.28Mcps TDD is defined in clause 5A
'Data modulation for the 1.28 Mcps option' and the spreading modulation in clause 6 'Spreading modulation'.
Table 1 shows the basic modulation parameters for the 7.68Mcps, 3.84Mcps (including 3.84 Mcps MBSFN IMB) and
1.28Mcps TDD options.

5.2 Mapping of bits onto signal point constellation
5.2.1 Mapping for burst type 1 and 2
5.2.1.1 QPSK modulation
The data modulation is performed to the bits from the output of the physical channel mapping procedure in [8] and
combines always 2 consecutive binary bits to a complex valued data symbol. Each user burst has two data carrying
parts, termed data blocks:

K is the number of used codes in a time slot: for 3.84Mcps, max K =16; for 7.68Mcps, max K =32. N is the
Code Code Code k
number of symbols per data field for the code k. This number is linked to the spreading factor Q [7].

The data modulation is performed to the bits from the output of the physical channel mapping procedure. In case of
16QAM, modulation 4 consecutive binary bits are represented by one complex valued data symbol. Each user burst has
two data carrying parts, termed data blocks:
