  2. Outline • The mobile telephone system • Cable television • Wireless LANS • Broadband wireless • Bluetooth • Data Link layer switching • Quality of service

  3. Outline • The mobile telephone system • Cable television • Wireless LANS • Broadband wireless • Bluetooth • Data Link layer switching • Quality of service

  4. Wireless telephones • Cordless phones -Never used for networking • Mobile phones – through three generations with different technologies: -Analog voice -Digital voice -Digital voice and data

  5. The mobile telephone system • First-generation mobile phones: analog voice -IMTS -AMPS • Second-generation mobile phones: digital voice -D-AMPS -GSM -CDMA • Third-generation mobile phones: digital voice and data -W-CDMA -CDMA2000 • 2.5G scheme -GPRS

  6. First-generation mobile phones: analog voice • 1946 push-to-talk system -A single channel for both sending and receiving • 1960 IMTS (Improved Mobile Telephone System) -High-powered transmitter -Two frequencies (sending/receiving) -23 channels spread out from 150 MHz to 450 MHz

  7. IMTS drawbacks • Due to the small number of channels, users often had to wait a long time before getting a dial tone. • Due to the lager power of the hilltop transmitter, adjacent systems had to be several hundred kilometers apart to avoid interference.

  8. AMTS (Advanced Mobile Phone System) • In all mobile phone systems, a geographic region is divided up into cells. • Key idea: -increases the system capacity (reuse of transmission frequencies) -less power is needed.

  9. The idea of frequency reuse

  10. MTSO (Mobile Telephone Switching Office) • Handoff - soft handoff -no loss of continuity -telephone needs to be able to tune to two frequencies at the same time - hard handoff

  11. AMTS Channels • The AMPS system uses 832 full-duplex channels, each consisting of a pair of simplex channels -832 simplex transmission channels from 824 to 849 MHz -832 simplex receive channels from 869 to 894 MHz • AMPS uses FDM to separate the channels

  12. AMPS call management • When a phone switch on • When a caller makes a call

  13. Second-generation mobile phones: digital voice • D-AMPS is fully digital • D-AMPS is designed to co-exist with AMPS • Upstream channels are in the 1850-1910 MHz • Downstream channels are in the 1930-1990 MHz

  14. D-AMPS • The voice signal is digitized and compressed • Users can share a single frequency pair using TDM

  15. A D-AMPS channel with users

  16. Difference between AMPS and D-AMPS • How handoff is handled

  17. GSM (The Global System for Mobile Communications) • GSM versus D-AMPS: -FDM is used with each mobile transmitting on one frequency receiving on a higher frequency -A single frequency pair is split by TDM into time slot shared by multiple mobiles -GSM has a much higher data rate per user than D-AMPS

  18. GSM uses 124 frequency channels, each of which uses an eight-slot TDM system

  19. A partition of the GSM framing structure

  20. CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access) • D-AMPS , GSM use both FDM and TDM. • CDMA allows each station to transmit over the entire frequency spectrum all the time. • Multiple simultaneous transmissions are separated using coding theory.

  21. CDMA coding theory • Each bit time is subdivided into m short intervals called chips (There are 64 or 128 chips per bit). • Each station is assigned a unique m-bit code called a chip sequence. - To transmit 1 bit , a station sends its chip sequence - To transmit 0 bit , a station sends the one’s complement of its chip sequence

  22. Example (1/2)

  23. Example (2/2)

  24. Properties

  25. Third-generation mobile phones: digital voice and data • WCDMA (Wideband CDMA) -uses direct sequence spread spectrum -runs in a 5 MHz bandwidth -has been designed to interwork with GSM • CDMA2000 -not be designed to interwork with GSM -has the differences between WCDMA : chip rate, frame time, spectrum used, the way to do time synchronization

  26. 2.5 G schema GPRS (General Packet Radio Service) • Is an overlay packet network on top of D-AMPS or GSM. • Allows mobile stations to send and receive IP packets in a cell running a voice system

  27. Outline • The mobile telephone system • Cable television • Wireless LANS • Broadband wireless • Bluetooth • Data Link layer switching • Quality of service

  28. Cable television • Community antenna television • Internet over cable • Spectrum allocation • Cable modems • ADSL versus cable

  29. An early cable television system

  30. Part of a modern HFC system

  31. The fixed telephone system

  32. Spectrum allocation

  33. Cable modems • Internet access requires a cable modem • Cable modem is always on • Cable operators do not charge for connect time

  34. What happens when a cable modem is plugged in and powered up? (1/2) • The modem scans the downstream channels looking for a special packet periodically put out by the headend to provide system parameters to modems. • Modem announces its presence on one of the upstream channels • The headend responds by assigning the modem to its upstream and downstream channels

  35. What happens when a cable modem is plugged in and powered up? (2/2) • The modem determines its distance from the headend –ranging • During initialization, the headend also assigns each modem to a minislot to use for requesting upstream bandwidth • What happens when a computer wants to send a packet?

  36. Typical details of the upstream and downstream channels

  37. ADSL versus cable • Both use fiber in the backbone, but they differ on the edge • The increasing numbers have different effects on existing users on the two system • Availability and security and reliability are issues on which ADSL and cable differ

  38. Outline • The mobile telephone system • Cable television • Wireless LANS • Broadband wireless • Bluetooth • Data Link layer switching • Quality of service

  39. Wireless LANS • The 802.11 protocol stack • The 802.11 physical layer • The 802.11 MAC sublayer protocol • The 802.11 frame structure • services

  40. The 802.11 protocol stack • MAC sublayer determines how the channel is allocated, that is, who gets to transmit next • LLC sublayer hides the differences between the different 802 variants • 802.11 specifies three transmission techniques allowed in the physical layer -infrared method -short-range radio (FHSS/DSSS)

  41. Part of the 802.11 protocol stack

  42. The 802.11 physical layer(1/7) • Infrared option -uses diffused transmission at 0.85 or 0.95 microns -two speeds are permitted: 1 Mbps, 2Mbps -infrared signals can’t penetrate walls

  43. The 802.11 physical layer(2/7) • FHSS (Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum) -uses 79 channels, each 1 MHz wide, starting at the low end of the 2.4GHz ISM band -A pseudorandom number generator is used to produce the sequence of frequencies hopped to

  44. The 802.11 physical layer(3/7) -The amount of time spent at each frequency—dwell time -advantages: 1.a fair way to allocate spectrum 2.security 3.good resistance to multipath fading 4.relatively insensitive to radio interference -disadvantage: low bandwidth

  45. The 802.11 physical layer(4/7) • DSSS (Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum) -restricts to 1 or 2 Mbps -has some similarities to the CDMA system -each bit is transmitted at 11 chips, using Barker sequence -uses phase shift modulation

  46. The 802.11 physical layer(5/7) • High-speed wireless LANs, 802.11a, uses OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) -deliver up to 54 Mbps in the wider 5GHz ISM band -advantages: 1.good immunity to multipath fading 2.using noncontiguous bands (good spectrum efficiency)

  47. The 802.11 physical layer(6/7) • 802.11b uses HR-DSSS (High Rate Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum) -uses 11 million chips/sec to achieve 11Mbps in the 2.4GHz band -data rate 1,2 Mbps use phase shift modulation (compatibility with DSSS) -data rate 5.5,11Mbps use Walsh/Hadamard codes

  48. The 802.11 physical layer(7/7) • Although 802.11b is slower than 802.11a, its range is about 7 times greater. • 802.11g uses OFDM modulation of 802.11a, but operates in the narrow 2.4GHz ISM band along with 802.11b

  49. The 802.11 MAC sublayer protocol • The 802.11 MAC sublayer protocol is quite different from that of Ethernet due to the inherent complexity of the wireless environment compared to that of a wired system
