Shannon C = W x log2(1 + S/N) The capacity [C] in bits/s is directly proportional to the available bandwidth [W] and log2 proportional to the signal to noise ratio [S/N].
Attenuation in open space Sr = S0/4r2 The signal strength at a distance [Sr] is directly proportional to the sending strength [S0] and indirectly proportional to square of the distance [r]
Real life In urban environment the signal strength is proportional to 1/rk where k = 1,6 … 3,8
Too bad for broadcast but good for cellular systems Not a problem detectable good quality
Rules of thumb • Bandwidth • most important factor to increase capacity • Power • will buy you distance but at a high cost • Noise • your own signal can be the worst problem
Divide the resources • Space • systems ”far” apart don’t interfere with each other • Frequency • modulate the signal to use a specified frequency band • Time • synchronize and allocate time slots • Code • Information coding

Frequency division • By modulating a carrier frequency, the radiated power can be limited to a specified frequency range. • The width of the range is the bandwidth of the carrier. • A guard band is needed to protect adjacent carriers.
Frequency planning A B C 3 cells per site typically used in urban environment
Frequency planning 4 sites, 3 cells per site minimum distance 12 carriers needed A D B E C F A J G H K I L
Time division • Enabled by faster processors. • A carrier is divided into time slots. • Each channel is allocated a time slot. • A guard period is needed between adjacent time slots
Timing advance A sender must adjust its transmission to meet thetime slot at the receiver. The farther away the earlier you send . The base station will tell you if your late or early. a b B A
What is left ? • when bandwidth is fixed • and power is limited • do the best modulation possible
Modulation • frequency modulation • amplitude modulation • phase modulation • combination of above • … no modulation ?
Wireless systems • Often use a phase modulation • Could change modulation depending on quality of signal • Spectral efficiency • up to 2 bits raw data per Hz under good conditions • aprx 0,5 to 1 bit user data per Hz • limited by signal to noise ratio
How do we compare? • What is the maximum user capacity? • What is the maximum capacity of a system? • How many carriers do we have? • What is the total capacity of a carrier? • How many carriers can be used at any given point?

ISM 2.4 GHz • Industrial, Scientific and Medical • US 2400 – 24835 83,5MHz in total • Japan 2400 – 2497 89,7MHz in total • Open for anyone, no license • Limitation on power < 0.1W (<1W US) • Using a spread spectrum technique
Spread spectrum • Why spread the signal over a wider spectrum? • more robust, will survive if part of the spectrum is noisy • will allow other systems to operate in the same environment • Two techniques • frequency hopping • direct sequence
Frequency Hopping • divide the spectrum into separate carriers • In ISM, FCC regulated at least 70 carriers • transmit and hop • In ISM, FCC regulates < 400 ms • a code determines where to hop • how do we synchronize? • low cost, low power, very robust
Direct Sequence • Increase the bandwidth by sending a pattern, chipping sequence, at a higher bitrate • sequence can be static or dynamic • dynamic patterns are used in CDMA • high bitrate, robust

Shannon revisited • Shannon’s theorem sets a limit for one receiver listening to one message. • What happens if we have several channels open, multiple receivers. • Is there a limitation on capacity in space?
