FSKPHY Recommendation • To facilitate ultra low power 802.15.4q devices powered by coin-cell batteries and/or energy harvesting, it is recommended that an FSK PHY is adopted. • Adoption of an FSK PHY would be in-line with current PHY amendments (802.15.4g & 802.15.4k) • This presentation proposes channel spacing, data rates and modulation indexes for 802.15.4q Andy Bottomley
Channel Spacing Proposal • Channel spacing of 500kHz can support data rates of 400kbps facilitating low energy per bit data transfer • Higher data rates can provide lower energy per bit at the expense of higher peak power. A data rate of 400kbps provides a good compromise between low peak power and low energy per bit (see #15-13-0052-00-004q). Above 400kbps the peak power increases with a diminishing improvement in overall energy per bit). • Channel spacing of 250kHz can support 200kbps & supports more channels and improved sensitivity modes • Both 500kHz & 250kHz channel spacing coexist well with O-QPSK 2MHz channel spacing Andy Bottomley
Modulation Index Definition Review • fd = max peak deviation frequency • h = modulation index • M = 2 or 4 (2-FSK or 4-FSK) • Example of 2-FSK & 4-FSK with the same modulation index and same data rate Andy Bottomley
The Choice of 2-FSK or 4-FSK • 2-FSK or 4-FSK could both be used for the 400kbps ‘Low Energy Mode’ (2-FSK 400ksps & 4-FSK 200ksps) • The 99% occupied bandwidth of 2-FSK or 4-FSK @ 400kbps is approximately the same with a modulation index of 0.7 • The Eb/No is the same with a modulation index of 0.7 • The digital timing recovery may consume a little less current when supporting a 4-FSK symbol rate of 200ksps compared to a 2-FSK symbol rate of 400ksps but this may be offset by the extra complexity required to support a multi-level system • As there appears to be no significant performance benefit in using 4-FSK over 2-FSK it is proposed that 2-FSK is used for all modes Andy Bottomley
Channel filter 3dB double side bandwidth = 500kHz • 3rd order Butterworth channel filter • BT = 1 • 0.7 is the optimal modulation index for an Eb/No of 9.2dB at 0.1% BER Andy Bottomley • Eb/No Sweep of Modulation Index for 2-FSK400kbps ‘Low Energy Mode’
Eb/No Sweep of Modulation Index for 2-FSK 200kbps Mode • Channel filter 3dB double side bandwidth = 250kHz • 3rd order Butterworth channel filter • BT = 1 • 0.7 is the optimal modulation index for an Eb/No of 9.2dB at 0.1% BER Andy Bottomley
BT = 1 Andy Bottomley • Occupied Bandwidth vs Modulation Index for 2-FSK400kbps mode • Occupied bandwidth increases with modulation index
BT = 1 Andy Bottomley • Occupied Bandwidth vs Modulation Index for 2-FSK 200kbps mode • Occupied bandwidth increases with modulation index
2-FSK, 400kbps, Modulation Index 0.7 2-FSK, 200kbps, Modulation Index 0.7 • Modulation Index Summary • Modulation index of 0.7 provides best Eb/No performance: • 9.2dB Eb/No at 1e-3 BER for 2-FSK 200kbps mode, BT=1 • 9.2dB Eb/No at 1e-3 BER for 2-FSK 400kbps mode, BT=1 Andy Bottomley
Further Consideration for Modulation Index Selection • The Modulation Index may be reduced in order to tighten up the transmitted spectrum at the expense of sensitivity degradation • Local regulations may restrict the minimum ACPR (Adjacent Channel Power Ratio) or band edge power levels? Using a lower BT=0.5 or adding a guard band may be required • The choice of frequency offset in the channel due to Xtal variations should be considered once a specification has been agreed upon. • 802.15.4-2011 section 15.3.3 states a GFSK 950MHz symbol rate accuracy of +/-40ppm • 802.15.4g draft v7 provides an equation for specifying the transmitter frequency tolerance as a function of symbol rate, modulation index and carrier frequency. The maximum frequency tolerance is +/-50ppm. • Ability of the system to reject adjacent and alternate channel interferers (see next slide) Andy Bottomley
Adjacent Channel & Alternate Channel Rejection Requirements • 802.15.4-2011 specifies 0dB & 24dB ACR & ALTCR using a modulated interferer • 802.15.4g draft v7 specifies 10dB & 30dB ACR & ALTCR using a CW at centre of channel • Simulation results in the next slide are used to guide the requirement chosen for 802.15.4n Andy Bottomley
ACR& ALTCRSimulation Results for 2-FSK200kbpsMode, 250kHzChannelization • Conditions: BT = 1, modulation index 0.7 (99% occupied bandwidth 291kHz), 3rd order Butterworth channel filter 250kHz +/-10%, the modulated interferer is the same as the wanted signal • Both the modulated and CW interferer rejection requirements are met • The margin for passing the modulated interferer is small Andy Bottomley
Proposal for Channel Rejection Specification • Based on the simulation results it is recommended that the 802.15.4g rejection specification is used: ACR 10dB & ALTCR 30dB using a CW interferer • This facilitates a simple 3rd order channel filter with +/-10% bandwidth tolerance and offers some margin in meeting the interferer requirements when a modulation index of 0.7 is used Andy Bottomley
Note 1: A spreading factor of 8, 4 & 2 is to be offered for this mode as an alternative way to generate lower data rates and spread the spectrum Andy Bottomley • Summary of FSK PHY Proposal • 500kHz channelization to support 400kbps ‘Low Energy Mode’ • 250kHz channelization to support greater number of channels • Spreading option to provide extra robustness to interference • Gaussian filter with BT=1 (lower BT could be possible)
