3. Proposed System Parameters Francois Chin, Institute for Infocomm Research (I2R)

4. Code Sequence Set • 31-chip M-Sequence set • Only one sequence and one fixed band (no hopping) will be used by all devices in a piconet • Logical channels for support of multiple piconets • 6 sequences = 6 logical channels (e.g. overlapping piconets) Francois Chin, Institute for Infocomm Research (I2R)

5. Gray Coded Code Position Modulation (CPM) To obtain 32-chip per symbol, cyclic shift first, then extend 1-chip Francois Chin, Institute for Infocomm Research (I2R)

7. Synchronisation Preamble Correlator output for synchronisation • Code sequence has excellent autocorrelation properties • Preamble is constructed by repeating base Code Sequence • Unique – no symbol & spreading combination can construct this preamble • Unlike 15.4, where preamble is constructed by 8x ‘0000’ symbols Francois Chin, Institute for Infocomm Research (I2R)

8. Coding Gain of M-Sequence Codes • ~2.5 dB @ BER=10-5 in AWGN Francois Chin, Institute for Infocomm Research (I2R)

9. Summary • Advantages of M-Sequence Codes • Low auto-correlation • One sequence for the entire piconet for • Synchronisation; • Symbol-to-chip mapping; • Further symbol spreading to achieve reduced rate at longer range Francois Chin, Institute for Infocomm Research (I2R)
