  18. Last-Mile

  19. Last-Mile • Many users still don’t have broadband • Reasons: out of service area; some consider expensive • Broadband speed is still limited • DSL: 300Kbps – 6Mbps • Cable modem: depends on your neighbors • Insufficient for several applications (e.g., high-quality video streaming)

  20. Disaster Recovery Network • 9/11, Tsunami, Irene, Hurricane Katrina, China, South Asian, Haidi earthquakes … • Wireless communication capability can make a difference between life and death! • How to enable efficient, flexible, and resilient communication? • Rapid deployment • Efficient resource and energy usage • Flexible: unicast, broadcast, multicast, anycast • Resilient: survive in unfavorable and untrusted environment

  33. Physical Layer

  34. Outline • Signal • Frequency allocation • Signal propagation • Multiplexing • Modulation • Spread Spectrum

  35. source decoding channel coding channel decoding source coding demodulation modulation Overview of Wireless Transmissions sender analog signal bit stream receiver bit stream

  36. Signals • Physical representation of data • Function of time and location • Classification • continuous time/discrete time • continuous values/discrete values • analog signal = continuous time and continuous values • digital signal = discrete time and discrete values

  37. Signals (Cont.) • Signal parameters of periodic signals: • period T, frequency f=1/T • amplitude A • phase shift  • sine wave as special periodic signal for a carrier: s(t) = At sin(2  ft t + t) 1 0 t

  38. Fourier Transform: Every Signal Can be Decomposed as a Collection of Harmonics 1 1 0 0 t t ideal periodicaldigital signal decomposition The more harmonics used, the smaller the approximation error.

  39. Why Not Send Digital Signal in Wireless Communications? • Digital signals need • infinite frequencies for perfect transmission • however, we have limited frequencies in wireless communications

  40. Frequencies for Communication twisted pair coax cable optical transmission 1 Mm 300 Hz 10 km 30 kHz 100 m 3 MHz 1 m 300 MHz 10 mm 30 GHz 100 m 3 THz 1 m 300 THz visible light VLF LF MF HF VHF UHF SHF EHF infrared UV VLF = Very Low Frequency UHF = Ultra High Frequency LF = Low Frequency SHF = Super High Frequency MF = Medium Frequency EHF = Extra High Frequency HF = High Frequency UV = Ultraviolet Light VHF = Very High Frequency Frequency and wave length:  = c/f , wave length , speed of light c  3x108m/s, frequency f

  41. Frequencies and Regulations • ITU-R holds auctions for new frequencies, manages frequency bands worldwide (WRC, World Radio Conferences)

  42. Why Need A Wide Spectrum

  43. Why Need A Wide Spectrum: Shannon Channel Capacity • The maximum number of bits that can be transmitted per second by a physical channel is: • where W is the frequency range that the media allows to pass through, SINR is the signal noise ratio

  44. Signal, Noise, and Interference • Signal (S) • Noise (N) • Includes thermal noise and background radiation • Often modeled as additive white Gaussian noise • Interference (I) • Signals from other transmitting sources • SINR = S/(N+I) (sometimes also denoted as SNR)

  45. dB and Power conversion • dB • Denote the difference between two power levels • (P2/P1)[dB] = 10 * log10 (P2/P1) • P2/P1 = 10^(A/10) • Example: P2 = 100 P1, P2/P1=10 dB • dBm and dBW • Denote the power level relative to 1 mW or 1 W • P[dBm] = 10*log10(P/1mW) • P[dBW] = 10*log10(P/1W) • Example: P = 0.001 mW, P = 100 W

  46. Outline • Signal • Frequency allocation • Signal propagation • Multiplexing • Modulation • Spread Spectrum

  47. Signal Propagation Ranges • Transmission range • communication possible • low error rate • Detection range • detection of the signal possible • no communication possible • Interference range • signal may not be detected • signal adds to the background noise sender transmission distance detection interference

  48. Signal Propagation • Does signal propagation via a straight line?

  49. Signal Propagation • Propagation in free space always like light (straight line) • Receiving power proportional to 1/d² (d = distance between sender and receiver) • Receiving power additionally influenced by • shadowing • reflection at large obstacles • refraction depending on the density of a medium • scattering at small obstacles • diffraction at edges • fading (frequency dependent) refraction shadowing reflection scattering diffraction
