Introduction to Wireless CS 477
Transmission Techniques Distributed/Hierarchical FDMA/TDMA/CDMA TDD/FDD
Network Types • Distributed Network: Users interface with each other • Ad Hoc Network: Self-creating • Hierarchical network: Users interface with Base Station or Access Point • Polled: Master-Slave MT MT MT MT
Hierarchical Networks Base Station Uplink Downlink Terminal Equipment
Time Division Duplex (TDD) • Base Station & Terminal Equipment alternate transmissions • Good when amount of downlink data > amount of uplink data
Frequency Division Multiple AccessFrequency Division Duplex (FDD) Example: First Generation Cellular
Time Division Multiple Access TDMA - FDD
Time Division Multiple Access • Channels allocated by Frequency & Timeslot • A Multiframe defines who & what transmits during a timeslot (E.g.:) • Broadcast / Paging / Synchronization Channel • Random Access Channel • Signaling Channels • Traffic Channel
EDGE Technology • Finds Optimal Bit Rate • Selects modulation & coding scheme based on environment • Uses Link Quality Control • Varies Modulation Scheme • GMSK, 8-PSK • Code Rate varies form .37 to 1.0
Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS) 1 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 1 0
Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) • Each bit is transmitted multiple times at different frequencies, called ... • Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum • Fast Frequency Hopping • Message x spreading signal • Pseudo-noise code sequence @ chip rate • Codewords are orthogonal to each other • Interference Limited
Multi-Carrier vs. Direct Sequence CDMA 2000 Technology Multi-Carrier Direct Sequence
CDMA Enhancements CDMA2000: • Chip rates of N=1, 3, 6, 9, 12 • Reduced spreading • Turbo codes: 10-6 vs 10-3 • QPSK on Forward (v) Link • BPSK on Reverse (^)
Spatial Diversity Multiple Access SDMA or Smart Antennas • Forms a focused beam • Allows channels to be reused within a cell • Multibeam Type • Multiple fixed beams with a narrow focus • Adaptive Array • Uses Spatial & Angle Diversity • Separates signal from its path
