  1. Wireless Local Loop (WLL) By: Panos Tzanos Vladimeros Vladimerou Derek Starr

  2. Presentation Outline • What is WLL? • Differences with mobile cellular systems • Why WLL? • System Analysis • examples • The future of WLL

  3. Definition • What is WLL? - WLL is a system that connects subscribers to the local telephone station wirelessly. • Systems WLL is based on: • Cellular • Satellite (specific and adjunct) • Microcellular • Other names • Radio In The Loop (RITL) • Fixed-Radio Access (FRA).

  4. A general WLL setup

  5. WLL services • Desirable: • Wireless feature should be transparent • Wireline Custom features • Other: • Business related • Hunt groups, • Call transfers • Conference calling • Calling cards, coin phones • V.29 (9600bps) • ISDN (64kbps)

  6. WLL should provide… • Toll-quality service • Expand from a central office to about 5 miles • Low license cost • Subscriber costs equivalent or better than copper

  7. Ideas for U.S. market • Supplement Copper Lines • Easier third telephone line • Data service • Fixed Mobile Users • Take phone wherever you want / charged on 2 levels • “home” could mean neighborhood • Charged regular mobile rate if you’re on the road

  8. Cost Considerations • Wireless cost is constant over distance for WLL • Wireline depends on distance AND terrain

  9. Situations “made” for WLL • Environments where 3rd line is degraded might be cheaper to go wireless • Where it’s impossible to lay copper (3rd world, small islands) • Business parks, industrial areas • Speedy deployment, stop gap application till wireline is in • 90-120 days for activation

  10. Developed vs. Developing • Developed: Wireline service • Firmly established, cellular penetration is relatively high • Incumbent operator would use it to install 2nd, 3rd lines, coverage to rural areas • 2nd or 3rd competitive operator deploy it for fast & cost effective deployment • Quick way to establish market presence • cellular complement to their offerings

  11. Developed vs. Developing • Developing • Quick & easy to deploy in countries with little copper line service, so as to accommodate people on enormous waiting lists for basic service • Low maintenance costs • Allows more competition in provider market

  12. Examples • UK • 150 PTOs have licenses for wireless • Focus on regional networks • WLL Commercial services • Ionica, Atlantic Telecom, Scottish Telecom • Poland • Most exciting market in eastern Europe • Local loop is the bottleneck • 150,000 WLL lines since 1996 (15% of new) • Ericsson, Motorola contracts

  13. Connection Setup UWLL WANU WASU Transceiver Air Interface TWLL Trunk WLL Controller AM HLR PSTN Switch function • Wireless Access Network Unit(WANU) • Interface between underlying telephone network and wireless link • consists of • Base Station Transceivers (BTS) • Radio Controller(RPCU) • Access Manager(AM) • Home Location Register(HLR) Wireless Access Subscriber Unit(WASU) • located at the subscriber • translates wireless link into a traditional telephone connection

  14. Important Results of Fixed to Fixed Propagation in WLLs • Signal channel is not a Rayleigh fading channel: • Power control algorithms are simpler and can be utilized more effectively • Channel Randomness is lost: • Makes analysis difficult • Pathloss exponent is considerably smaller (Why?): • 20dB/dec compared to 40dB/dec • Decreases cell capacity • Allows for larger coverage area

  15. Fixed to Fixed Propagation(cont’d) • No handoffs necessary: • Decreases hardware costs and system complexity • Increases quality of service through accurate traffic predictions • Allows usage of directional antennas: • Can greatly reduce interference and increase cell capacity 30dB 10dB -30dB -40dB 0o 60o 0o 120o 180o BS antenna Subscriber antenna

  16. In-Cell Interference (CDMA) • I = (Nh – 1)aS  NhaS a = voice activity factor Nh = total # of houses S = power received at cell site from every house

  17. Out-of-Cell Interference • Pathloss: 20dB/dec as opposed to 40dB/dec  need to take in account more tiers • Only from houses whose antennas are directed at the center cell base station

  18. Interference from Another Cell • Blue area is region of interferers for C • It is Not a perfect pie shape • If w = (1/2)*(antenna width) (in radians) • W = w+2sin-1((R/D)sin(w/2)) • If w<<1 and R<<D: W = w (1+(R/D)) is the “pie” arc length

  19. Per-Tier Interference • Integration over W and all the cells at tier n yields: In = [aNhSw/(3sqrt(3))][1/n] for n>4 • Interference is proportional to antenna width w and inversely proportional to the tier number. • Decreasing the antenna width can greatly reduce interference. • As the number of tiers approaches infinity, so does the total interference. Therefore, system capacity is a function of the total number of tiers in the system.

  20. Capacity comparisonfor 5 MHz spectrum allocation

  21. Comparison

  22. Examples of services provided • Marconi WipLL (wireless IP local loop) • Based on Frequency hopping CDMA • Internet Protocol 64kbps to 2.4Mbps rates Committed Information Rate or best effort service • Lucent WSS (wireless subscriber system) • 800 to 5000 subscribers per switch • Uses FDMA/FDD 12 Km to 40Km coverage • GoodWin WLL • DECT standards • 9.6 kbps rate • Specified conditions -5°С...+55°С, 20...75% humidity

  23. Future of WLL / Overview • Depends on • economic development • existing infrastructure of a region • Offers • market competition • quick deployment • relatively reliable service at low costs

  24. Forecasts 800M projected new lines by 2002 685M in developing countries

  25. Questions? Basie station
