Spread Spectrum
Spread spectrum is a communication technique thatspreads a narrowband communication signal over a wide rangeof frequencies for transmission then de-spreads it into theoriginal data bandwidth at the receive.
Spread spectrum is characterized by:
wide bandwidth and
low power
Jamming and interference have less effect on Spreadspectrum because it is:
Resembles noise
Hard to detect
Hard to intercept

FCC Specifications
The Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 15 originally
only described two spread spectrum techniques to be used inthe licensed free Industrial, Scientific, Medical (ISM) band,2.4 GHz, thus 802.11 and 802.11b.
Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum (FHSS)and
Direct Sequence spread Spectrum (DSSS)
Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM)wasnot covered by the CFR and would have required licensing.
802.11a, employing OFDM, was created to work in the 5GHzUnlicensed National Information Infrastructure (UNII)
In May, 2001 CFR, Part 15 was modified to allow alternative"digital modulation techniques".
This resulted in 802.11gwhich employs OFDM in the 2.4GHz range

Fast Setting frequency synthesizers.
Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS) Operates in the 2.4 GHz range
Digital Data signal is inserted into a higher data ratechipping code.
A Chipping code is a bit sequence consisting of a redundant bit pattern.
Barker, Gold, M-sequence and Kasami codes are employed
Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM)
Operates in both the 5 Ghz and 2.4 GHz range with a data rate of between 6and 54 Mbps. 802.11a divides each channel into 52 low-speed sub-channels 48 sub-channels are for data while the other 4 are pilot carriers.
The modulation scheme can be either BPSK, QPSK or QAM dependingupon the speed of transmission.

Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum
Carrier changes frequency (HOPS)according to a pseudorandom Sequence.
Pseudorandom sequence is a list of frequencies. Thecarrier hops through this lists of frequencies.
The carrier then repeats this pattern.
During Dwell Timethe carrier remains at a certainfrequency.
During Hop Timethe carrier hops to the next frequency.
The data is spread over 83 MHz in the 2.4 GHz ISMband.
This signal is resistant but not immune to narrow bandinterference.

FHSS Contd
The original 802.11 FHSS standard supports 1 and2 Mbps data rate.
FHSS uses the 2.402 2.480 GHz frequency range in the ISM band.
It splits the band into 79 non-overlapping channels with each channel1 MHzwide.
FHSS hops between channels at a minimum rate of 2.5 times persecond. Each hop must cover at least 6 MHz
The hopping channels for the US and Europe are shown below.

Dwell Time The Dwell time per frequency is around 100 ms(The FCC specifies a dwell time of 400 ms per carrierfrequency in any 30 second time period).
Longer dwell time = greater throughput.
Shorter dwell time = less throughput
Hop Time
Is measured in microseconds (us) and isgenerally around 200-300 us.

Gaussian Frequency Shift Keying
The FHSS Physical sublayer modulates the data stream usingGaussian Frequency Shift Keying (GFSK).
Each symbol, a zero and a one, is represented by a differentfrequency (2 level GFSK)
two symbols can be represented by four frequencies (4 levelGFSK).
A Gaussian filter smoothes the abrupt jumps betweenfrequencies.

FHSS Disadvantages
Not as fast as a wired Lan or the newer WLANStandards
Lower throughput due to interference.
FHSS is subject to interference from other frequencies inthe ISM band because it hops across the entire frequencyspectrum.
Adjacent FHSS access points can synchronizetheir hopping sequence to increase the number of co-located systems, however, it is prohibitively expensive.

Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum
Spread spectrum increases the bandwidth of the signal
compared to narrow band by spreading the signal.
There are two major types of spread spectrum techniques:
FHSS and DSSS.
FHSS spreads the signal by hopping from one frequency to
another across a bandwidth of 83 Mhz.
DSSS spreads the signal by adding redundant bits to the
signal prior to transmission which spreads the signal across 22
Mhz.
The process of adding redundant information to the
signal is calledProcessing Gain .
The redundant information bits are calledPseudorandom
Numbers (PN).
20
Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum
DSSS works by combining informationbits (data signal) withhigher data rate bit sequence (pseudorandom number (PN)).
The PN is also called a Chipping Code (eg., the Barker chipping
code)
The bits resulting from combining the information bits with the
chipping code are calledchips - the result- which is then
transmitted.
The higherprocessing gain (more chips) increases the signal's
resistance to interference by spreading it across a greater number of
frequencies.
IEEE has set their minimum processing gain to 11. The number
of chips in the chipping code equates to the signal spreading ratio.
Doubling the chipping speed doubles the signal spread and the
required bandwidth.

Signal Spreading
The Spreaderemploys an encoding scheme (Barker or
Complementary Code Keying (CCK).
The spread signal is then modulated by a carrier employing either
Differential Binary Phase Shift Keying (DBPSK), or DifferentialQuadrature Phase Shift Keying (DQPSK).
The Correlatorreverses this process in order to recover the original
data.
22
Fourteen channels are identified, however, the FCC specifies only 11
channelsfor non-licensed (ISM band) use in the US.
Each channels is a contiguous band of frequencies 22 Mhz wide with each
channel separated by 5 MHz.
Channel 1 = 2.401 2.423 (2.412 plus/minus 11 Mhz).
Channel 2 = 2.406 2.429 (2.417 plus/minus 11 Mhz).
Only Channels 1, 6 and 11 do not overlap

Spectrum Mask
A spectrum Mask represents the maximum power output for thechannel at various frequencies.
From the center channel frequency, 11 MHz and 22 MHZ the signalmust be attenuated 30 dB.
From the center channel frequency, outside 22 MHZ, the signal isattenuated 50 dB.
24
DSSS Frequency Assignments
Channel 12.412 GHz
Channel 62.437 GHz
Channel 112.462 GHz
25 MHz25 MHz
The Center DSSS frequencies of each channel are only 5 Mhz apart but
each channel is 22 Mhz wide therefore adjacent channels will overlap.
DSSS systems with overlapping channels in the same physical space
would cause interference between systems.
Co-located DSSS systems should have frequencies which are at least5 channels apart, e.g., Channels 1 and 6, Channels 2 and 7, etc.
Channels 1, 6 and 11 are the only theoretically non-overlappingchannels.

DSSS Non-overlapping Channels
Each channel is 22 MHz wide. Inorder for two bands not to overlap(interfere), there must be five channels
between them.
A maximum of three channels may
be co-located (as shown) withoutoverlap (interference).
The transmitter spreads the signalsequence across the 22 Mhz wide
channel so only a few chips will beimpacted by interference.

DSSS Encoding and Modulation
DSSS (802.11b) employs two types of encoding schemes
and two types of modulation schemes depending upon thespeed of transmission.
Encoding Schemes
Barker Chipping Code: Spreads 1 data bit across 11 redundantbits at both 1 Mbps and 2 Mbps
Complementary Code Keying (CCK):
Maps 4 data bits into a unique redundant 8 bits for 5.5 Mbps
Maps 8 data bits into a unique redundant 8 bits for 11 Mbps.
Modulation Schemes
Differential Binary Phase Shift Keying (DBPSK):Two phaseshifts with each phase shift representing one transmitted bit.
Differential Quadrature Phase Shift Keying (DQPSK):Fourphase shifts with each phase shift representing two bits.

Transmission.
The Barker sequence, 10110111000, was chosen to spreadeach 1 and 0 signal.
The Barker sequence has six 1s and five 0s.
Each data bit, 1 and 0, is modulo-2 (XOR) added to theeleven bit Barker sequence.
If a one is encoded all the bits change.
If a zero is encoded all bits stay the same.
Reception.Azero bit corresponds to an eleven bit sequence of six 1s.
Aone bit corresponds to an eleven bit sequence ofsix 0s.

FHSS vs DSSS
DSSS is more susceptible to narrow band noise.
DSSS channel is 22 Mhzwide whereas
FHSS is 79 Mhzwide.
The FCC regulated that DSSS use a maximum of 1 watt
of transmitter power in Pt-to-Multipoint system.
DSSS costs less then FHSS
FHSS can have more systems co-located than
DSSS.
DSSS systems have the advantage in throughput The Wi-Fi alliance tests for DSSS compatibility

OFDM
A mathematical process that allows52 channels to overlap withoutlosing their orthogonality (individuality).
48 sub-channel are used for data
Each sub-channel is used to transmit data
4 sub-channel are used as pilot carriers.
The pilot sub-channels are used to monitor path shift and
shifts in sub-channel frequencies (Inter Carrier Interference
(ICI)).
OFDM
OFDM selects channels that
overlap but do not interferewith one another.
Channels are separated
based upon orthogonality.

Modulation Background
In order to properly understand OFDM modulation we need to do
a quick review of various modulation techniques.
James Clark Maxwell, 1864, first developed the idea thatelectromagnetic magnetic waves arose as a combination electriccurrent and magnetic field an electromagnetic wave.
Heinrich Hertz , in 1880s, developed the first RadioFrequency device that sent and received electromagnetic wavesover the air
The name Hertz (Hz)was given to the unit of frequencymeasurement representing one complete oscillation of anelectromagnetic wave. This is also called cycle per second.
Kilohertz = thousands of cycles per second
Megahertz = millions of cycles per second
Gigahertz = billions cycles per second
50
Modulation Background Contd
The oscillating electromagnetic wave, also called a sine wave, is shown below.
This wave can be used as a carrier signalto carry information.
The information can be imposed upon the carrier through a process calledmodulationwhich is accomplished by modifying one of three physical wavecharacteristic. These physical characteristics are:
Amplitude The height of the wave
Frequency the number of oscillation (cycles) per second.
Phase the starting point of the wave (when compared to the starting point ofthe previous wave.
The are two major types of modulation schemes: Analog and Digital

Summary of OFDM Encoding/Modulation
64 Phase shifts can encode 6 bits /phase shift resulting is a transmission rate of
either 48 or 54 Mbps depending upon the number of sub-channels (R) used for error
correction.
Coding Rate (R) is the ratio of sub-channels carrying data to sub-channels
carrying error correction code. E.G., 1/2 would indicate that 24 sub-channels (1/2 X48 = 24) are being used for error correction while the remaining 24 sub-channels are
used for data transmission.
The Length of the each Symbol is equal to number of sub-carriers times the bits/transition. e.g., 48 X 6 = 288.
