  2. Introduction • Multiple access schemes are used to allow many users to share simultaneously a finite amount of radio spectrum • Sharing of spectrum is required to increase capacity • For high quality communication this sharing of spectrum should not degrade performance of the system • high performance • duplexing generally required • frequency domain • time domain

  3. A B A B A B Duplexing • What is Duplexing? • to talk and listen simultaneously is called duplexing • Classification of communication systems according to their connectivity • Simplex • Half-duplex • Duplex

  4. Duplexing Contd… • Duplexing may be done using • frequency domain technique • time domain technique

  5. Frequency division duplexing (FDD) • two bands of frequencies for every user • forward band ( for traffic from Base station to mobile unit) • reverse band (for traffic from mobile unit to Base station) • duplexer needed • frequency separation between forward band and reverse band is constant throughout the system reverse channel forward channel frequency separation/split f

  6. Time division duplexing (TDD) • uses different time slots for forward and reverse link • forward time slot • reverse time slot • no duplexer is required (a simple switch can be used) • Communication is not full-duplex reverse channel forward channel t time separation/split

  7. Trade-offs b/w FDD and TDD • FDD • Provides individual radio frequencies to each user hence, transceiver should work on two frequency bands • Frequency allocation must be carefully coordinated with Out-of-band users • Duplexer needed • TDD • Single frequency hence simple transceiver • Duplexer not needed, a switch can do the job • There is time latency, communication is not full-duplex

  8. Multiple Access Techniques in Wireless Communication System • Frequency division multiple access (FDMA) • Time division multiple access (TDMA) • Code division multiple access (CDMA) • Space division multiple access (SDMA) • grouped as: • narrowband systems • wideband systems

  9. Narrowband systems • Bandwidth of the signal is narrow compared with the coherence bandwidth of the channel • In NB systems available radio spectrum is divided into large number of narrowband channels usually FDD (large frequency split) • Narrowband FDMA • Narrowband TDMA

  10. Narrowband systems • Narrowband FDMA • a user is assigned a particular channel which is not shared by other users • if FDD is used then each channel has a forward and reverse link (called FDMA/FDD) • Narrowband TDMA • Allows users to share the same channel but allocates a unique time slot to each user • FDMA/FDD • FDMA/TDD • TDMA/FDD • TDMA/TDD

  11. Narrowband systems • FDMA/FDD • FDMA/TDD • TDMA/FDD • TDMA/TDD

  12. Logical separation FDMA/FDD forward channel user 1 reverse channel ... f forward channel user n reverse channel t

  13. Logical separation FDMA/TDD user 1 forward channel reverse channel ... f user n forward channel reverse channel t

  14. Logical separation TDMA/FDD forward channel forward channel ... user 1 user n f reverse channel reverse channel t

  15. Logical separation TDMA/TDD user 1 user n ... forward channel reverse channel forward channel reverse channel f t

  16. Wideband systems • The transmission BW of a single channel is much larger than the coherence bandwidth of the channel • users are allowed to transmit in a large part of the spectrum • large number of transmitters on one channel • TDMA techniques allocates time slots to different transmitters • CMA techniques allows the transmitters to access the channel at the same time

  17. Wideband systems • FDD or TDD multiplexing techniques • TDMA/FDD • TDMA/TDD • CDMA/FDD • CDMA/TDD

  19. Multiple Access Techniques in use Multiple Access Technique Advanced Mobile Phone System (AMPS) FDMA/FDD Global System for Mobile (GSM) TDMA/FDD US Digital Cellular (USDC) TDMA/FDD Digital European Cordless Telephone (DECT) FDMA/TDD US Narrowband Spread Spectrum (IS-95) CDMA/FDD Cellular System

  20. Frequency division multiple access FDMA • one phone circuit per channel • idle time causes wasting of resources • simultaneously and continuously transmitting • usually implemented in narrowband systems • Complexity of FDMA mobile systems is lower compared to TDMA • FDMA uses duplexers • for example: AMPS is a FDMA system with bandwidth of 30 kHz

  21. FDMA compared to TDMA • fewer bits for synchronization • fewer bits for framing • higher costs for duplexer used in base station and subscriber units • FDMA requires RF filtering to minimize adjacent channel interference

  22. Nonlinear Effects in FDMA • many channels - same antenna • for maximum power efficiency operate near saturation • near saturation power amplifiers are nonlinear • nonlinearities causes signal spreading • intermodulation frequencies

  23. Nonlinear Effects in FDMA • IM are undesired harmonics • interference with other channels in the FDMA system • interference outside the mobile radio band: adjacent-channel interference • RF filters needed - higher costs

  24. Number of channels in a FDMA system • N … number of channels • Bt … total spectrum allocation • Bguard … guard band • Bc … channel bandwidth Bt - 2Bguard N= Bc

  25. Example: Advanced Mobile Phone System • AMPS • FDMA/FDD • analog cellular system • 12.5 MHz per simplex band - Bt • Bguard = 10 kHz ; Bc = 30 kHz 12.5E6 - 2*(10E3) N= = 416 channels 30E3

  26. Time Division Multiple Access • Time slots • one user per slot • Buffer and burst method • Non-continuous transmission Advantage: Total bandwidth is utilized Disadvantage: Strict Burst Timing is required at the earth station

  27. Repeating Frame Structure One TDMA Frame Preamble Information Message Trail Bits Slot 1 Slot 2 Slot 3 … Slot N Trail Bits Sync. Bits Information Data Guard Bits The frame is cyclically repeated over time.

  28. Features of TDMA • a single carrier frequency for several users • transmission in bursts • handoff process much simpler (can listen when idle) • Low battery consumption • Bandwidth can be supplied on demand • FDD : switch instead of duplexer • high synchronization overhead

  29. Number of channels in a TDMA system • N … number of TDMA channel slots • m … number of TDMA users per radio channel • Btot … total spectrum allocation • Bguard … Guard Band • Bc … channel bandwidth m*(Btot - 2*Bguard) N= Bc

  30. Example: Global System for Mobile (GSM) • TDMA/FDD • forward link at Btot = 25 MHz • radio channels of Bc = 200 kHz • if m = 8 speech channels supported, and • if no guard band is assumed : 8*25E6 N= = 1000 simultaneous users 200E3

  31. Efficiency of TDMA • percentage of transmitted data that contain information • frame efficiency f • usually end user efficiency < f , • because of source and channel coding • How get f ?

  32. Repeating Frame Structure One TDMA Frame Preamble Information Message Trail Bits Slot 1 Slot 2 Slot 3 … Slot N Trail Bits Sync. Bits Information Data Guard Bits The frame is cyclically repeated over time.

  33. Efficiency of TDMA bOH = Nr*br + Nt*bp + Nt*bg + Nr*bg • bOH … number of overhead bits • Nr … number of reference bursts per frame • br … reference bits per reference burst • Nt … number of traffic bursts per frame • bp … overhead bits per preamble in each slot • bg … equivalent bits in each guard time interval

  34. Efficiency of TDMA • bT … total number of bits per frame • Tf … frame duration • R … channel bit rate bT = Tf * R

  35. Efficiency of TDMA • f … frame efficiency • bOH … number of overhead bits per frame • bT … total number of bits per frame f = (1-bOH/bT)*100%

  36. Spread Spectrum Multiple Access (SSMA) • SSMA uses Signals have transmission BW that is several orders of magnitude greater than the minimum required BW • A Pseudo-noise sequence converts a narrow band signal to a wideband noise-like signal before transmission • SSMA not BW efficient when used by a single user • Many users can share the same BW without interfering with one another • Type of SSMA techniques: • frequency hoped multiple access (FHMA) • Direct sequence multiple access (DS) or Code division multiple access (CDMA)

  37. Shift Register Stage 1 Stage 2 Stage 3 Register Output Clock Modulo 2 adder Pseudo-noise (PN) sequence • PN code sets can be generated from linear feedback shift registers • Example:

  38. Correlation matrix of 31-bit PN sequence

  39. Frequency Hopped Multiple Access (FHMA) • It is digital multiple access system • Carrier frequencies of individual users varied in pseudorandom fashion with in a wideband channel • Digital data broken into uniform sized bursts which are transmitted on different carriers • Instantaneous BW of any one transmission burst is much smaller than the total spread BW • Locally generated PN code is used to synchronize the receiver frequency with that of transmitter. • Provides a High level of security • Fast frequency hopping system • Slow frequency hopping

  40. FHMA • Erasures can occur when two or more users transmit on the same channel at the same time • FH(Frequency hopped) signal is immune to fading so error control coding can be combined to guard against erasures .

  41. CDMA • Narrowband signals is multiplied by a very large bandwidth signal called the spreading signal. • The spreading signal is pseudo noise code sequence that has a chip rate which is orders of magnitudes greater than data rate of the message • All users use the same carrier frequency and transmit simultaneously • Each user has its own pseudo random code word which is approximately orthogonal to other codewords

  42. CDMA • Receiver performs time co-relation • All other codewords appear as noise • Receiver needs to know the code word used by transmitter • Many users same frequency, TDD or FDD • Soft capacity(capacity increases linearly) • Self-jamming • Near far problem

  43. Packet Radio • Many subscribers attempt to access a single channel in an uncoordinated or minimally coordinated manner • Collisions from simultaneous transmissions are detected at the BS • ACK and NACK is broadcasted by BS (its like perfect feedback) • In case of NACK the signal retransmitted • PR easy to implement • Induces delays

  44. Packet Radio Protocols • Vulnerable period Vp: time interval during which the packets are susceptible to collisions with transmission from other users • If packet length in time is t • then a packet will suffer collision if other terminals transmit packets during the period t1 to t1+2t Packet A Packet B t1+2t t1

  45. Packet Radio contd … • Subscribers use contention techniques • ALOHA protocol example of contention techniques • Advantage: ability to serve many users without any overhead

  46. Pure ALOHA • Uncoordinated stations are contesting for the use of a single shared channel • Algorithm • Stations transmit whenever they have something to send • Colliding frames will be destroyed • If destroyed, the sender waits a random amount of time and sends it again • Maximum channel utilization is 18.4% • 81.6% of the total available bandwidth is essentially wasted due to losses from packet collisions

  47. In pure ALOHA, frames are transmitted at completely arbitrary times

  48. Slotted ALOHA • A method for doubling the capacity of pure ALOHA systems • Divide up time into discrete interval slots • Stations share the same time by synchronizing with a master • Master periodically broadcasts a synchronization pulse (clock tick packet) to all stations • Stations are only allowed to send their packets immediately after receiving a clock tick • Each interval corresponding to one frame time • Maximum channel utilization is 36.8%

  49. ALOHA Protocols • Advantages • Simple (due to distributed control) • Flexible to fluctuations in the number of hosts • Fair • Disadvantages • Low channel efficiency with a large number of hosts • Not good for real-time traffic (e.g., voice) • Cannot support priority traffic
