The DPCCH carries essential control information required for maintaining and managing the radio link, including pilot bits, transmit power control commands, TFCI (Transport Format Combination Indicator) and feedback information.

- It is transmitted in parallel with the DPDCH using I/Q code multiplexing.
Understanding the roles and structures of the DPDCH and DPCCH is crucial for comprehending the WCDMA uplink’s operation, as they collectively ensure the reliable transmission of user data and control information.
