Peer-to-Peer or Base Stations?
□ Ad-hoc (Autonomous) Group:
□ Two stations can communicate

□ All stations have the same logic

□ No infrastructure, Suitable for small area

□ Infrastructure Based: Access points (base units)


□ Stations can be simpler than bases.

□ Base provide connection for off-network traffic

□ Base provides location tracking, directory,


authentication  Scalable to large networks
□ IEEE 802.11 provides both.

□A station can be in one of three states:
□ Transmitter on

□ Receiver only on

□ Dozing: Both transmitter and receivers off.

□ Access point (AP) buffers traffic for dozing stations.


□ AP announces which stations have frames buffered.
Traffic indication map included in each beacon.
All multicasts/broadcasts are buffered.
□ Dozing stations wake up to listen to the beacon.
If there is data waiting for it, the station sends a poll
frame to get the data.

1. OFDM
 Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing
 Ten 100 kHz channels are better than one 1 MHz Channel
 Multi-carrier modulation

 Frequency band is divided into 256 or more sub-bands.


Orthogonal  Peak of one at null of others
 Each carrier is modulated with a BPSK, QPSK, 16-QAM, 64-
QAM etc depending on the noise (Frequency selective fading)
 Used in 802.11a/g, 802.16,
Digital Video Broadcast handheld (DVB-H)
 Easy to implement using FFT/IFFT
Advantages of OFDM
 Easy to implement using FFT/IFFT
 Computational complexity = O(B log BT) compared
to previous O(B2T) for Equalization. Here B is the
bandwidth and T is the delay spread.
 Graceful degradation if excess delay
 Robustness against frequency selective burst errors
 Allows adaptive modulation and coding of
subcarriers
 Robust against narrowband interference (affecting
only some subcarriers)
 Allows pilot subcarriers for channel estimation
OFDM: Design considerations

 Large number of carriers  Larger symbol duration


 Less inter-symbol interference
 Reduced subcarrier spacing  Increased inter-carrier
interference due to Doppler spread in mobile applications
 Easily implemented as Inverse Discrete Fourier
Transform (IDFT) of data symbol block
 Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) is a computationally
efficient way of computing DFT
OFDMA
 Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access
 Each user has a subset of subcarriers for a few slots
 OFDM systems use TDMA
 OFDMA allows Time+Freq DMA  2D Scheduling

Scalable OFDMA (SOFDMA)
 OFDM symbol duration = f(subcarrier spacing)
 Subcarrier spacing = Frequency bandwidth/Number
of subcarriers
 Frequency bandwidth=1.25 MHz, 3.5 MHz, 5
MHz, 10 MHz, 20 MHz, etc.
 Symbol duration affects higher layer operation
 Keep symbol duration constant at 102.9 us
 Keep subcarrier spacing 10.94 kHz
 Number of subcarriers  Frequency
bandwidth This is known as scalable OFDMA

2. Beamforming

 Phased Antenna Arrays:


Receive the same signal using multiple antennas
 By phase-shifting various received signals and then summing
 Focus on a narrow directional beam
 Digital Signal Processing (DSP) is used for signal processing
 Self-aligning
3. MIMO
 Multiple Input Multiple Output
 RF chain for each antenna
 Simultaneous reception or transmission of
multiple streams

2x3

MIMO
 Antenna Diversity: Multiple transmit or receive antenna but a
single transmit/receive chain
 MIMO: RF chain for each antenna  Simultaneous reception
or transmission of multiple streams
1. Array Gain: Improved SNR. Requires channel knowledge
(available at receiver, difficult at transmitter)
2. Diversity Gain: Multiple independently fading paths. Get
NTNRth order diversity. Transmitter can code the signal
suitably  Space time coding.
3. Spatial Multiplexing Gain: Transmitting independent
streams from antennas. Min (NT, NR) gain
4. Interference Reduction: Co-channel interference reduced by
differentiating desired signals from interfering signals

amplifiers
 MIMO improves the range as well as reduces the required
bandwidth
Cooperative MIMO
 Two subscribers with one antenna each can transmit at
the same frequency at the same time
 The users do not really need to know each other. They

4. Space Time Block Codes (STBC)
 Invented 1998 by Vahid Tarokh.
 Transmit multiple redundant copies from multiple antennas
 Precisely coordinate distribution of symbols in space and time.
 Receiver combines multiple copies of the received signals
optimally to overcome multipath.
 Example: Two antennas:
Antenna 1
Slot 1 Antenna Time
S1 2 S2
Slot 2 -S2* S1*
Space
S1* is complex conjugate of S1  columns are orthogonal
5. Turbo Codes
 Shannon Limit:= B log2 (1+S/N)
 Normal FEC codes: 3dB below the Shannon limit
 Turbo Codes: 0.5dB below Shannon limit
Developed by French coding theorists in 1993
 Use two coders with an interleaver
 Interleaver rearranges bits in a prescribed but
irregular manner

6. Time Division Duplexing (TDD)
 Duplex = Bi-Directional Communication
 Frequency division duplexing (FDD) (Full-Duplex)
Frequency 1
Base Subscriber
Frequency 2
 Time division duplex (TDD): Half-duplex
Base Subscriber
 Most WiMAX deployments will use TDD.
 Allows more flexible sharing of DL/UL data rate
 Does not require paired spectrum
 Easy channel estimation  Simpler transceiver design
 Con: All neighboring BS should time synchronize
7. Software Defined Radio
 GSM and CDMA incompatibility  Need multimode radios
 Military needs to intercept signals of different characteristics
 Radio characteristics (Channel bandwidth, Data rate,
Modulation type) can be changed by software
 Multiband, multi-channel, multi-carrier, multi-mode (AM,
FM, CDMA), Multi-rate (samples per second)
 Generally using Digital Signal Processing (DSP) or field
programmable gate arrays (FPGAs)
 Signal is digitized as close to the antenna as possible
 Speakeasy from Hazeltine and Motorola in mid 80’s was one
the first SDRs. Could handle 2 MHz to 2 GHz.
Summary: Wireless PHY

1. OFDM splits a band in to many


orthogonal subcarriers. OFDMA = FDMA
+ TDMA
2. Turbo codes use two coders and a interleaver
and operate very close to Shannon’s limit
3. Space-time block codes use multiple antennas
to transmit related signals
4. MIMO use multiple antennas for high
throughput
