Mobile Communication Tied to electro-magnetic radio transmission radio transmission orbital (satellite) terrestrial broadcast radio equatorial orbit beam radio non-equatorial orbit cellular non-cellular • Principles: • Propagation and reception of electro-magnetic waves • Modulation methods and their properties • Multiplex methods • Satellite orbits/Sight- and overlap areas

20. Cellular Networks: Principles Cell structure: Example Reference cell Cell in the interference area of the reference cell Further cells, whose channel distribution should be known to the reference cell

21. z x Kinds of antennas: directional & sectored • Energy is radiated in definite directions, for instance x-Direction • So called main propagation directions, for instance Satellite Antennas • Often also used in Mobile Radio Systems, such as GSM, for creation of sectored cells • Seamless radio supply via partial/overlay of sectors y x Directional Antenna Sectored Antenna

22. Media Access Methods

23. Principles • Multiplex • Multiple-shift usage of the medium without interference • 4 multiplex methods: • Space • Time • Frequency • Code • Media Access Methods • controls user access to medium

24. SDMA (Space Division Multiple Access) • based on SDM (Space Division Multiplexing, Space Multiplex) • communication channel obtains definite Space for definite Time on the definite Frequency with definite Code • Space Multiplex for instance in the Analog Phone Systems (for each participant one line) and for Broadcasting Stations • Problem: secure distance (interferences) between transmitting stations is required (using one frequency) and by pure Space Multiplex each communication channel would require an own transmitting station • Space Multiplex is only reasonable in combination with other multiplex methods • SDMA for instance by base station dedication to an end-device via Media Access Methods or respectively by segmentation of a Mobile Radio Network to several areas

25. SDMA: Example k1 k2 k3 k4 k5 k6 f1 s SDMA finds selection s – secure distance

26. f k6 k5 k4 k3 k2 t k1 FDMA (Frequency Division Multiple Access) • Based on FDM (Frequency Division Multiplexing, Frequency Multiplex) • i.e. to transmission channels several frequencies are permanently assigned, for instance radio transmitting stations k1 k2 k3 k4 k5 k6 f1 f4 FDMA finds selection f2 f5 s f3 f6 s – secure distance

27. f k1 k2 k3 k4 k5 k6 k1 t TDMA (Time Division Multiple Access) • Based on TDM (Time Division Multiplexing, Time Multiplex) • i.e. to transmission channels is the transmission medium is slot assigned for certain time, is often used in LANs • Synchronization (timing, static or dynamic) between transmitting and receiving stations is required k1 k2 k3 k4 k5 k6 TDMA finds selection f1

29. CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access) • based on CDM (Code Division Multiplexing, Code multiplex) • i.e. to transmission channels the definite Code is assigned, this can be on the same Frequency for the same Time transmitted • derivates from military area • via development of cost-efficient VLSI components • via spread spectrum techniques a good communication security and tiny fault sensitivity • but: exact synchronization is required, code of transmitting station must be known to receiving station, complex receivers for signal separation are required • Noise should not be very high

30. CDMA k1 k2 k3 k4 k5 k6 f1 CDMA decoded

31. CDMA illustrated by example The Principle of CDMA can be good illustrated by the example of some party: • communication partners stand closely to each other, each transmission station (Sender) is only so loud, that it does not interfere to neighbored groups • transmission stations (Senders) use certain Codes (for instance, just other languages), they can be just separately received by other transmission stations • receiving station (Listener) attunes to this language (Code), all other Senders are realizing this only as background noise • if receiving station (Listener) cannot understand this language (Code), then it can just receive the data, but it cannot do anything with them • if two communication partners would like to have some secure communication line, then they should simply use a secret language (Code) • Potential Problems: • security distance is too tiny: interferences (i.e. Polish und Czech)

32. CDMA-Example in the theory Sender A • Sends Ad =1, Key Ak = 010011 (set: „0“= -1, „1“= +1) • Transmit signal As =Ad *Ak = (-1, +1, -1, -1, +1, +1) Sender B • sends Bd =0, Key Bk = 110101 (set: „0“= -1, „1“= +1) • Transmit signal Bs =Bd *Bk = (-1, -1, +1, -1, +1, -1) Both signals superpose additively in air • Faults are ignored here (noises etc.) • C = As+ Bs =(-2,0,0,-2,+2,0) Receiver will listen to Sender A • uses Key Ak bitwise (internal product) • Ae = C * Ak =2 +0+0 +2 +2+0 = 6 • Result is greater than 0, so sent bit was „1“ • analog B • Be = C * Bk =-2 +0 +0 -2 -2 +0 = -6, also „0“

33. Spread Spectrum Techniques • Signal is spread by the Sender before the transmission (overblown) • dP/df value corresponds with so called Power Density, Energy is constant (in the Figure: the filled areas) Objective: • Increase of robustness against small band-width faults • listening security: power density of spread-spectrum signals can be lower than that of background noise

34. Spread Spectrum Techniques • small band-width faults are spread by de-spreading in receiving station • band-pass deletes redundant frequency parts t
