3. Motivation and Objective • Motivated by the following three contributions: • 04/0412r0, In-band Interference Properties of MB-OFDM, by C. Razell, Philips • 04/547r0, Responses to “In-Band Interference Properties of MB-OFDM”, by C. Corral, G. Rasor and S. Emami, Freescale Semiconductor • 04/451/r2, “Multiband OFDM Interference on In-band QPSK Receivers Revisited”, by C. Corral, S. Emami and G. Rasor, , Freescale Semiconductor • The above contributions focused on the impact of MB-OFDM interference on a DTV victim receiver • In contrast, the objective here is to quantify the difference in the impact of interference from MB-OFDM and DS-UWB Torbjorn Larsson

4. C-Band DTV Systems • The C-band downlink spans 3.7 – 4.2 GHz • C-band antennas are typically 6 – 12 feet in diameter • Based on the DVB-S (Digital Video Broadcasting – Satellite) standard (EN 300 421) • DVB-S was designed for MPEG-2 broadcasting in the Ku-band, but is also used in the C-band • DVB-S does not specify a unique set of data rates or symbol rates; However… • Typical transponder bandwidth is 36 MHz (33 MHz also used) • Typical symbol rate 27 – 29 Msps • DVB-S2 is the next generation with improved bandwidth efficiency and FEC Torbjorn Larsson

5. DVB-S Torbjorn Larsson

6. Typical C-Band Downlink Channelization (Telesat satellite Anik F2. Footprint: North America) • Total of 24 channels • Each polarization has 12 channels • Transponder bandwidth is 36 MHz with a 4 MHz guard band • The center frequencies are separated by 40 MHz • The center frequencies for the two polarizations are offset by 20 MHz • The result is 24 center frequencies separated by 20 MHz Torbjorn Larsson

7. DTV Simulation Model • Excludes Reed-Solomon coding and interleaving • Impossible to simulate error rates with RS coding • Symbol rate: 28 Msps • No quantization (including input to Viterbi decoder) • Ideal pulse shaping/matched filters (0.35 roll-off) • No nonlinarity • No frequency offset • No phase noise • Pre-computed phase error and time offset • Receiver noise figure: 4 dB • Code rates 1/2 and 7/8 Torbjorn Larsson

8. MB-OFDM Transmitter Model • Based on the Jan. 2005 release of the MB-OFDM PHY spec • Complete Matlab implementation of the specifications • System operating in band-hopping mode • Includes (5-bit) DAC and realistic filter characteristics • Spectral pre-shaping to compensate for non-ideal filter characteristics (=> worst-case in this context!) • Channel number 9 (Band group 1, TFC 1) • Data rate “110” Mbps (106.7 Mbps) Torbjorn Larsson

9. DS-UWB Transmitter Model • Based on the January 2005 release of the DS-UWB PHY specifications (P802.15-04/0137r4) • Complete Matlab implementation of the specifications • No DAC • Ideal RRC pulse shaping filter truncated to 12 chip periods (=> worst-case) • Channel number 1 (chip rate: 1313 Mcps) • Data rate: “110” Mbps (109.417 Mbps) • BPSK modulation • Spreading code for preamble and header (PAC): -1 0 +1 -1 -1 -1 +1 +1 0 +1 +1 +1 +1 -1 +1 -1 +1 +1 +1 +1 -1 -1 +1 • Spreading code for frame body: +1 0 0 0 0 0 Torbjorn Larsson

10. Interference Spectra Resolution: 10 kHz PSD averaged over 10 packets (roughly 0.9 ms) • Transmit power is set so as to push each spectrum as close as possible to the FCC limit (worst-case condition) • MB-OFDM transmit power is -10.3 dBm • DS-UWB transmit power is -10.8 dBm (data rate dependent) Torbjorn Larsson

11. Interference Spectra – Close Up • Both spectra exhibit substantial variations • Solution: run simulation for multiple DTV center frequencies DTV center frequencies Torbjorn Larsson

12. Amplitude Histogram: Wideband (without Multipath) Data rate: 110 kbps PAR = 12.0 dB PAR = 11.9 dB Torbjorn Larsson

13. Amplitude Histogram: Wideband (with Multipath) PAR = 14.1 dB PAR = 14.2 dB Data rate: 110 kbps 100 multipath channel realizations Torbjorn Larsson

14. Amplitude Histogram: Output of DTV Matched Filter (with Multipath) Center frequency = 4 GHz 100 multipath channel realizations Torbjorn Larsson

16. Changes Since November 2004 • All simulations carried out with center frequencies according to channelization plan on slide 6 • 3.72 GHz to 4.18 GHz in steps of 20 MHz • Added multipath (CM3, no shadowing) • Increased symbol rate from 27 to 28 Msps Torbjorn Larsson

17. Simulation Block Diagram • Attenuation 1 is set so that the received DTV power is 3 dB above sensitivity • Each simulation is performed with all 24 DTV center frequencies • Simulation results are plotted as a function of center frequency and attenuation 2 Torbjorn Larsson

18. DTV Sensitivity (NF = 4 dB) Defines sensitivity Torbjorn Larsson

19. DTV Sensitivity (NF = 4 dB) (Symbol rate: 28 Msps) Torbjorn Larsson

20. BER versus Center Frequency Code Rate 1/2, without multipath Interference attenuation = 67 dB Torbjorn Larsson

21. BER versus Center Frequency Code Rate 1/2, with multipath Interference attenuation = 71 dB 100 multipath channel realizations Torbjorn Larsson

22. Two Performance Metrics • Compute average error rate over the 24 center frequencies • Select maximum error rate from the 24 center frequencies Torbjorn Larsson

23. Average BER Code Rate 1/2, with multipath Torbjorn Larsson

24. Maximum BER Code Rate 1/2, with multipath Torbjorn Larsson

25. BER versus Center Frequency Code Rate 7/8, with multipath Interference attenuation = 71 dB 100 multipath channel realizations Torbjorn Larsson

26. Average BER Code Rate 7/8, with multipath Torbjorn Larsson

27. Worst-Case BER Code Rate 7/8, with multipath Torbjorn Larsson

28. Conclusions • For DTV code rate 1/2, there is practically no difference between the two interfering waveforms • The difference increases with code rate • MB-OFDM interference is more bursty in nature and thus has more impact for higher code rates • For DTV code rate 7/8, MB-OFDM is ≈ 1.3 dB worse than DS-UWB @ BER 2·10-4 Torbjorn Larsson
