Lecture 8 (B0: Cellular Telephone Networks 2nd semester 1439-1438
Medium Access Control Techniques • When stations use a common link, we need a multiple-access protocol to coordinate access to the link.
Channelization • Channelization is a multiple access method in which the available bandwidth of a link is shared in time, frequency or through code, between different stations.
FDMA • In frequency-division multiple access (FDMA), the available bandwidth is divided into frequency bands. • Each station is allocated a band to send its data. • The allocated bands are separated from one another by small guard bands.
TDMA • In time-division multiple access (TDMA), the stations share the bandwidth of the channel in time. • Each station is allocated a time slot during which it can send data.
CDMA • Data from all stations are transmitted simultaneously and are separated based on coding theory. • In TDMA and FDMA the transmissions from different stations are clearly separated in either time or frequency. • In case of CDMA, the transmission from different stations occupy the entire frequency band at the same time. Multiple simultaneous transmissions are separated by using coding theory. Each bit is assigned a unique m-bit code or chip sequence.
First Generation System • The first generation was designed for voice communication using analog signals. • One example is Advanced Mobile Phone System (AMPS) used in North America. • It is one of the leading analog cellular systems in North America. • It uses FDMA to separate channels in a link.
AMPS • Bands: AMPS operates in the 800-MHz ISM band. • The system uses two separate analog channels: • one for forward (base station to mobile station) communication, the band between 869 and 894 MHz. • one for reverse (mobile station to base station) communication, the band between 824 and 849 MHz .
AMPS • AMPS uses FDMA to divide each 25-MHz band into 30-KHz channels, some of which are used for control. • AMPS has a frequency reuse factor of 7 • AMPS uses FM and FSK for modulation.
Second Generation • To provide higher-quality (less noise-prone) mobile voice communications, the second generation of the cellular phone network was developed. • The second generation was mainly designed for digitized voice
Second Generation • Shifting from analog to digital enabled several improvements in systems performance. • 2G systems Besides providing • improved voice quality • improved system capacity • Security against eavesdropping and fraud • Enabled new applications, prime among these was the Short Messaging Service (SMS).
D-AMPS • Digital AMPS (D-AMPS) is essentially a digital version of AMPS and it is backward compatible with AMPS. BandD-AMPS uses the same bands and channels as AMPS.
D-AMPS Transmission • Each voice channel is digitized using a very complex PCM and compression technique. • Three digital voice channels are combined using TDMA. • The resulting digital data modulates a carrier using QPSK. • The result is a 30-kHz analog signal. • Finally, the 30-kHz analog signals share a 25-MHz band using FDMA.
GSM • The Global System for Mobile Communication (GSM) is a European standard that was developed to provide a common second-generation technology for all Europe. • Bands GSM uses two bands for duplex communication. Each band is 25 MHz in width, shifted toward 900 MHz
GSM • Eight users are multiplexed on a single 200kHz wide frequency channel by assigning different time slots to each user.
GSM • Each voice channel is digitized and compressed to a 13Kbps digital signal. • 8 slots are multiplexed together creating a frame. • 26 frames are combined to form a multiframe • For medium access control, GSM combines both TDMA and FDMA
IS-95 CDMA • IS-95 is based on CDMA/DSSS and FDMA medium access control technique • Bands and Channels • IS-95 uses two bands for duplex communication. • The bands can be the traditional ISM 800-MHz band or the ISM 1900-MHz band. • Each band is divided into 20 channels separated by guard bands.
Third Generation • The third generation of cellular telephony refers to a combination of technologies that provide a variety of services. • the third generation can provide both digital data and voice communication. • Using a small portable device, a person • should be able to talk to anyone else in the world with a voice quality similar to that of the existing fixed telephone network. • A person can download and watch a movie, can download and listen to music • can surf the Internet or play games • can have a video conference, and can do much more.
