Cellular Communications
Advantages:
• More capacity than a single large transmitter, same frequency
used for multiple links in different cells
• Cell towers are closer – Mobile devices use less power than
with single transmitter
• Larger coverage area than a single terrestrial transmitter –
additional cell towers can be added indefinitely

Wireless Communication
Given a certain amount of RF frequency spectrum, how to
optimize communication?
Metrics:
• Throughput – Total network bits-per-second
• Latency – Average time form packet creation to reception
• Fairness – Do devices receive equal share of resource
(airtime)?

Multiple Access Techniques
If multiple wireless clients exist, how to divide resources?
Multiple Access Methods – Techniques for dividing resources
• CSMA – Carrier Sense Multiple Access
• TDMA – Time Division Multiple Access
• FDMA – Frequency Division Multiple Access
• CDMA – Code Division Multiple Access

Carrier-Sense Multiple Access
CSMA – Carrier Sense Multiple Access
Nodes check to see if anyone is communicating
If channel is empty, they may start
17
![Page 22: Communications & Networks Introduction](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022012014/615972babbb05b1cb64a4daa/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Hidden Node Problem
Not detecting communication does not mean channel is clear
18
![Page 23: Communications & Networks Introduction](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022012014/615972babbb05b1cb64a4daa/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
CSMA/CA
CSMA/CA – CSMA with Collision Avoidance
1. Carrier Sense – Listen for other transmission
2. Random Backoff – If channel is busy, backoff for random
amount of time
3. Request to Send/Clear to Send (RTS/CTS) – Access
Control Signals
4. Transmission – Send entire packet to Access Point (AP)
5. Acknowledgment – AP sends acknowledgment if packet is
received
6. Exponential Backoff – If no ACK, assume collision and
backoff

CSMA
Advantages
• Low latency if channel is not busy
• No need for centralized control
Disadvantages
• Busy channel causes many collisions – low throughput & high
energy waste

TDMA
Advantages
• Nodes only need to listen during frame – save power
• Guaranteed no collision
Disadvantages
• Lower Throughput – A node may not need to use their frame
22

FDMA
FDMA – Frequency Division Multiple Access
Divide available frequency into channels
Nodes communicate on their own channel
Wi-Fi FDMA – 5MHz channel width – 22MHz spectrum spread
23

CDMA
CDMA – Code Division Multiple Access
Use orthogonal psuedorandom codes to allow additive
communication on same spectrum
Four mutually orthogonal codes24

CDMA
Advantages
• Multiple nodes may communicate at the same time
• Flexible length of codes – dynamic allocation
Disadvantages
• Reduced throughput per device per frame
That is, takes n times as long to transmit a single bit, where n
is length of the code
• Subject to Near-Far problem

Near Far Problem
Problem with SNR for geographically disparate nodes
Near node Noise may be similar to magnitude of far node signal

Phase Shift Keying
Phase Shift Keying – PSK

rather than time
