  2. Agenda • Proposed system features • Frequency Plan / PRF • Preamble • Modulation Ismail Lakkis & Saeid Safavi Wideband Access, Inc.

  3. Frequency Plan / PRF Ismail Lakkis & Saeid Safavi Wideband Access, Inc.

  4. Proposed System Features • Meets requirements for TG4a baseline draft • Frequency plan with simple PLL structure and safe margins to 3.1GHz and 4.9 GHz • Support of a range of PRFs (low and high) • Impulse-radio system • Common preamble structure for different classes of nodes/receivers type ( coh./noncoh.) & ranging • Flexible adaptive data rate • Robustness against SOP interference through frequency and code division • Robustness against other in-band interference • Scalability to trade-off complexity/performance Ismail Lakkis & Saeid Safavi Wideband Access, Inc.

  5. Frequency Plan Requirements • Requirements • Sub-banding (Three bands) with mandatory center band of ~500MHz and an optional wider co-centric band of ~1.5GHz • Mandatory: FCC spectral mask @ 3.1GHz  at least 10 dB attenuation constraint on filtering • Desirable: co-existence with WLAN @ 4.9GHz • Implications • A safe margin to 3.1GHz to meet FCC requirement • For IR system using a pulser (no mixer), the BPF is responsible for the 3.1GHz corner filtering • A safe margin to 4.9GHz to coexist with WLAN • Different frequencies should be easily generated from the system PLL with first divisions in powers of 2 Ismail Lakkis & Saeid Safavi Wideband Access, Inc.

  6. PRF Requirements • Requirements • Support of multiple (at least 2) PRF in band • Limit on lowest possible PRF due to CMOS 90 nm technology • Limit on highest possible PRF due to inter-frame interference for a non-coherent receiver • Implications • Supported PRFs should be easily derived from the PLL through simple divisions • Low PRF as base PRF • High PRF as second PRF • PRF should be high enough to take advantage of FCC rules Ismail Lakkis & Saeid Safavi Wideband Access, Inc.

  7. PRI VPeak TC Relationship between PRF & Peak Power Ismail Lakkis & Saeid Safavi Wideband Access, Inc.

  8. Minimum PRF vs Peak Power (CMOS 90nm) Ismail Lakkis & Saeid Safavi Wideband Access, Inc.

  9. Low PRF vs High PRF • A low PRF system has a lower implementation cost when compared to high PRF system • RF radio overall gain is lower for a low PRF system. A 12 MHz PRF system , for example, would reduce the receiver dynamic range by 7 dB when compared to a 60 MHz PRF system • The ADC would run at 12 MHz instead of 60 MHz in the above example and the entire digital processor would run at a lower clock reducing the power by a factor of 5 in CMOS • Easier acquisition with lower PRF due to a smaller sync matched filter size • Since energy per pulse is higher (7 dB in the above example), a non-coherent receiver would perform better • Better acquisition and tracking performance since a 60 MHz PRF system needs to integrate perfectly 5 pulses to perform equivalently to a 12 MHz PRF system Ismail Lakkis & Saeid Safavi Wideband Access, Inc.

  11. Frequency Plan Details Ismail Lakkis & Saeid Safavi Wideband Access, Inc.

  12. Proposed PRFs • A wide range of PRFs (total of 3) are supported which are compliant with the harmonic chip rate requirements • The base recommended PRF is 15.4375 MHz: it has an 8 dB peak power margin for a 500MHz BW • PRFs of 30.875MHz and 61.75MHz are also supported (margin > 4.5 dB) • The proposed PRFs can be easily generated from the center frequencies of the supported bands (next slide) Ismail Lakkis & Saeid Safavi Wideband Access, Inc.

  13. PRF Generation • All High frequency divisions are in powers of 2, while the low frequency divisions are only by 3 and 7 Center Freq.

  15. Band Plan / PRF Summary • Enough margin to 3.1GHz (111 MHz) and 4.9GHz (207 MHz) to meet FCC requirements and to coexist with WLAN ( avoids expensive sharp roll-off filtering) • Support of a wide range of XTALs (9.6,19.2,13,26,12,24) • Center frequencies and PRFs can be generated from a single PLL with first divisions in power of 2 and low frequency division by 3 or 7 • Support of a wide range of PRFs. The proposed PRFs have a peak power margin of 4.5-8 dB to accommodate implementation losses and take advantage of FCC rules Ismail Lakkis & Saeid Safavi Wideband Access, Inc.

  16. Acquisition Preamble Structure Ismail Lakkis & Saeid Safavi Wideband Access, Inc.

  17. BER of BPSK & ON-OFF Keying Ismail Lakkis & Saeid Safavi Wideband Access, Inc.

  18. BER Requirements • The requirement of PER < 1% for a 32 octets packet translates into a BER < 3.926e-5 • EbN0 requirements for uncoded BPSK and ON-OFF keying systems: • g (BPSK) = 8.9dB • g (ON-OFF) = 15.45dB • EbN0 requirements for coded BPSK and ON-OFF keying systems (assuming a coding gain of 4dB and receiver implementation losses of 1.5 dB): • g (BPSK) = 6.4 dB • g (ON-OFF) = 13 dB Ismail Lakkis & Saeid Safavi Wideband Access, Inc.

  19. SNR Loss in Square Law Detectors Ismail Lakkis & Saeid Safavi Wideband Access, Inc.

  20. BPSK: Detection & False Alarm Probabilities • PRF = 16 MHz • AWGN Channel • 2 dB margin to account for timing/frequency errors & other factors • PD = 95% & PF = 5% Ismail Lakkis & Saeid Safavi Wideband Access, Inc.

  21. BPSK: Detection & False Alarm Probabilities • PRF = 16 MHz • Multipath Channel assuming we capture 25% of the energy • 2 dB margin to account for timing/frequency errors & other factors • PD = 95% & PF = 5% Ismail Lakkis & Saeid Safavi Wideband Access, Inc.

  22. BPSK: Detection & False Alarm Probabilities Ismail Lakkis & Saeid Safavi Wideband Access, Inc.

  23. BPSK: Detection & False Alarm Probabilities Ismail Lakkis & Saeid Safavi Wideband Access, Inc.

  24. ON-OFF Detection & False Alarm Probabilities • PRF = 16 MHz • AWGN Channel • 2 dB margin to account for timing/frequency errors & other factors • PD = 95% & PF = 5% Ismail Lakkis & Saeid Safavi Wideband Access, Inc.

  25. Spreading Codes: Objectives • Design a set of sequences with good autocorrelation (ACF) and cross correlation (CCF) properties that support • Coherent receivers • Differentially coherent receivers • Noncoherent receivers • The sequence set should be as large as possible to support multiple piconets per frequency band and to mitigate co-channel interference (in-band interference) Ismail Lakkis & Saeid Safavi Wideband Access, Inc.

  26. Spreading Codes Desirable Characteristics • The autocorrelation function of a sequence can be characterized by the following parameters: • PAR of the PSD (back-off factor): a b PAR is desirable otherwise reduction in Tx power is required • Zero correlation zone (ZCZ) : for improved ranging, synchronization, channel estimation, and Pd vs Pf • Merit Factor (MF) of a binary sequence of length N: The MF measures the interference due to the sidelobe energies in the zone under interest (say 1μs) • Sequence length: this determines the coherent processing gain during acquisition ( a short spreading sequence  system is acquisition limited rather than PER limited) Ismail Lakkis & Saeid Safavi Wideband Access, Inc.

  27. Barker code 11 & m-sequence 31 Ismail Lakkis & Saeid Safavi Wideband Access, Inc.

  28. Freescale & ZCZ sequences Ismail Lakkis & Saeid Safavi Wideband Access, Inc.

  29. Single Spreading Code System ? • A single spreading code common to the preamble and frame body is not recommended as all good sequences have bad PSD which results in a large Tx power reduction (Back-off) Ismail Lakkis & Saeid Safavi Wideband Access, Inc.

  30. Hierarchical Preamble code structure • Let Z be the ZCZ sequence of length 3 • Create hierarchical code using zero-correlation Walsh sequences 1,2,3 and 5 • For ternary –Z corresponds to an inverted sequence • There are at least 32 ZCZ, this gives 128 SOPs Ismail Lakkis & Saeid Safavi Wideband Access, Inc.

  31. modulation Ismail Lakkis & Saeid Safavi Wideband Access, Inc.

  32. Modulation • Spreading via random scrambling • Use a single scrambler of length (ex: 32768) and assign a different offset (of 16 or 32) to different nodes • For ternary modulation invert sequence when transmitting a 0 • Number of users supported is 1024 • Perfect co-channel interference rejection • Support virtually any data rate from 16MHz to 32 Kbps for a PRF of 16MHz • Spectrum is virtually flat (no back-off) Ismail Lakkis & Saeid Safavi Wideband Access, Inc.
