Spread Spectrum Techniques • Direct Sequence • Frequency Hopping
Comparisons • DS modem more complicated, MAC in DS much simpler. • FH appears to be cheaper. • BW sharing, DS tends to have lower overhead on the air. • DS vs. FH = religion war …
Diversity • Diversity • Redudancy in the system to overcome noise and to increase the reliability of the system. • Antenna Diversity
Antenna • Directional Antenna • Sectoral Antenna • Beam forming Antenna
Range Issues • Propagation • Attenuation • Reflection • Fading
Transmitter Power • Higher power: • Drain battery quickly • Frequency reuse drawback
Sensitivity • Defined as • Point at 3% packet loss (400 byte packet in Gaussian channel). • 7 dB worse if we use Raleigh channel + antenna diversity. • Normally –80 dBm, better –90 dBm.
SNR • Signal-to-Noise Ratio • Difference of power in the receiver between a valid signal and noise.
Multi-rate system • Better throughput more bandwidth. • The higher the signalling rate, the shorter the distance.
2FSK • B = base frequency • d = deviation • symbol • 0 B + d • 1 B – d
4FSK • B = base frequency • d = deviation • Symbol • 00 B+ 1/2d • 01 B – 1/2d • 10 B + 3/2d • 11 B – 3/2d
IEEE 802.11 (11Mbps) • CCK – Complementary Code Keying • 11 Mbps • 5.5Mbps
IEEE 802.11a (OFDM) • Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplex (OFDM). • Using equalization in post processing, overcome delay spread. • OFDM is pre-processing technique. • Use in 5Ghz UNII Band.
Interference & Noise • Fading • Variation in time. • Microwave oven & other interferer. • Forward Error Correction (FEC) • Not effective, better retransmit the packet. • Delay Spread
