WIRELESS TECHNOLOGY INTRODUCTION

➢Wireless is defined as “having no wires”.

➢The term is used to describe communication where there is no physical wired connection between sender and receiver, rather the network is connected by radio or microwaves.

Growth of cellular telephone subscribers throughout the world.

MARTIN COOPER

CELLULAR NETWORK BASICS

➢ Cellular network/telephony is a radio-based technology; radio waves are electromagnetic waves that antennas propagate.

➢ Most signals are in the 850 MHz, 900 MHz, 1800 MHz, and 1900 MHz frequency bands.

PJR

CELLULAR SYSTEM

PJR

CELLULAR NETWORK BASIC ARCHITECTURE PJR

CELLULAR NETWORK➢ Base stations transmit to and receive from mobiles

at the assigned spectrum.➢ The service area of each base station is called a cell.

➢ Each mobile terminal is typically served by the ‘closest’ base stations.➢ Handoff when terminals move.

PJR

OPERATIONAL CHANNELS➢ Forward Voice Channel (FVC): This channel is

used for the voice transmission from the BS to the MS.

➢ Reverse Voice Channel (RVC): This is used for the voice transmission from the MS to the BS.

➢ Forward Control Channel (FCC): Control channels are generally used for controlling the activity of the call, i.e., they are used for setting up calls and to divert the call to unused voice channels

PJR

THE MULTIPLE ACCESS PROBLEM

➢ The base stations need to serve many mobile terminals at the same time (both downlink and uplink)

➢ All mobiles in the cell need to transmit to the base station

➢ Interference among different senders and receivers

➢ So we need multiple access scheme

PJR

MULTIPLE ACCESS SCHEMES

• Frequency Division Multiple Access (FDMA)• Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA)• Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA)

3 orthogonal Schemes:

PJR

CELLULAR NETWORK GENERATIONS

1. It is useful to think of cellular Network/telephony in terms of generations:

+ 1G: Analog cellular telephony.

+ 2G: Digital cellular telephony.

+ 3G: High-speed digital cellular telephony (including video telephony).

+ 4G: IP-based “anytime, anywhere” voice, data, and multimedia telephony at faster data rates than 3G (deployed in 2012–2015).

PJR

FREQUENCY DIVISION MULTIPLE ACCESS

✕ Each mobile is assigned a separate frequency channel for the duration of the call

✕ Sufficient guard band is required to prevent adjacent channel interference

✕ Usually, mobile terminals will have one downlink frequency band and one uplink frequency band

✕ Different cellular network protocols use different frequencies✕ Frequency is a precious and scare resource. We are running out of

it+ Cognitive radio

frequency

PJR

TIME DIVISION MULTIPLE ACCESS

• Time is divided into slots and only one mobile terminal transmits during each slot– Like during the lecture, only one can talk, but others may take the floor in turn

• Each user is given a specific slot. No competition in cellular network– Unlike Carrier Sensing Multiple Access (CSMA) in WiFi

Guard time – signal transmitted by mobile terminals at different locations do no arrive at the base station at the same time

PJR

CODE DIVISION MULTIPLE ACCESS

✕ Use of orthogonal codes to separate different transmissions✕ Each symbol of bit is transmitted as a larger number of bits

using the user specific code – Spreading+ Bandwidth occupied by the signal is much larger than the information

transmission rate+ But all users use the same frequency band together

Orthogonal among users
