Take advantage of multi-path (complete immunity) Tx signal Channel Estimation Average Compound Channel Response Channel+ Noise Didier Helal and Philippe Rouzet, STM

  28. Matched filter easy to implement • Each point of the channel estimation can be seen as one finger of a rake receiver 64 ns = 1280 fingers of 50 ps width • Channel estimation consists in coherent integration of received pulses. One bit ADC makes the operation a simple increment/decrement No multiplication or complex operator ! • Estimated gate count of the whole channel estimation block bit slice number of gates * number of bit of the counter * number of channel point (20*8*1280 = 204800 gates) • Power consumption Parallel hardware implementation of all fingers Frequency of operations is low (1/PRP) Didier Helal and Philippe Rouzet, STM

  36. Coexistence and regulatory impact • Coexistence with in-band systems ensured by TX pulse shaping or filtering • System is independent from pulse shape • Transmit power control reduces interferences • Helped by location awareness capability (distance can be estimated with 3cm resolution) • No impact on current regulation • FCC’s Part 15 rules followed • Additional spectrum protection can be supported • 802.15.3 Power Management modes are supported (DSPS, PSPS, APS) Didier Helal and Philippe Rouzet, STM

  37. Simultaneously operating Piconets Single Interferer Interferer dint CM1, CM2, CM3 or CM4 multipath channel CM1, CM2, CM3 or CM4 multipath channel TX DEV Rx level = (limit PER=8%) + 6dB dref RX DEV Modulation : 2-PPM, Prp =5.4 ns, CR 1/3, 123 Mbps Continuous overlapping interferer transmission (worst condition) Didier Helal and Philippe Rouzet, STM

  38. Simultaneously operating PiconetsSingle piconet interferer • Dref/Dint is better than 3 (for 123 Mbps modulation) • CM3, CM4 supports interferer @ ~3 meters for a Ref source @ 10 meters • Interfering channel slightly impacts performance (better for low density channel such as CM1 and CM2, instead of CM3,CM4) -> 2.5 meters instead of 3 meters • Pulse BW impact performances Dref/Dint ~ (BW) • PRP or Datarate impact performances Dref/Dint ~ (PRP) using the same modulation scheme, just changing PRP (and along the datarate) • Gracefull degradation of performance in case of strong UWB interferer by adjusting PRP Didier Helal and Philippe Rouzet, STM

  39. Simultaneously operating PiconetsEffect of TH • Effect of Time hopping in modulated data on interferer immunity • Small effect, equivalent of ~0.1 dB • Effect is marginal on average but smooth some worst case • Marginal improvement for a marginal added complexity • TH may be kept as on option in standard (TBD) Didier Helal and Philippe Rouzet, STM

  41. Simultaneously operating PiconetsMultiple piconet interferer • Multiple Interferer use free space channel • Low width of pulse means small effect on receiver • Infinite rake architecture and 1 bit sampling gives strong performance here • Dref/Dint is better than 30 (for 123 Mbps modulation) • CM3, CM4 supports 2 interferers @ ~0.3 meters for a Ref source @ 10 meters • CM3, CM4 supports 3 interferers @ ~0.7 meters for a Ref source @ 10 meters Didier Helal and Philippe Rouzet, STM

  42. Interference and Susceptibility System supports low Signal-to-Interferer-Ratios : SIR > -50dB for any in-band narrow-band Interferer • Adaptive Band Rejection 802.11a OFDM interferer : SIR>-30dB (at 5.3GHz or other) Generic in-band interferer : SIR>-30dB (at any frequency) • BaseBand Filtering rejection : SIR > -20dB All out-of-band interferers supported (according to IEEE 802.15-3a proposed criteria). Didier Helal and Philippe Rouzet, STM

  43. Low Power Consumption • Baseband MODEM down to 220 kGates in 2PPM at f = 1/PRP • 60% gates (channel estimation) in stand-by during >90% of frame time • Plus CODEC (60k to 500 kGates depending on architecture) • RF Power consumption: RX< 70mW - TX < 40mW • 20Gsample 1-bit ADC consumes less than 30mW Full Scalability • Data throughput is adjustable (flexible modulation) • Compatibility between High and Low Data Rate devices • Simultaneously operating piconets supported • Complexity decreases along with data rate • Power consumption decreases with data rate Didier Helal and Philippe Rouzet, STM

  44. Gate count & Consumption calcul (1/2)Example with the Channel Estimation • Each point of the channel estimation can be seen as one finger of a rake receiver (i.e. 64 ns = 1280 fingers of 50 ps width) • The channel estimation consists in integrating coherently pulses. As the front-end is a one bit ADC, for each point of the channel, the operation is simply an increment/decrement.(i.e. 1280 Inc/Dec for each pulse in TS, 1000 pulses -> 1.2 M Inc/Dec, No multiplication nor complex operator !) • Estimated gate count : • One needs about 20 gates for each bit slice of an up-down counter : one flip-flop, increment/decrement add-sub and a few more for count gating. • So the gate count of the whole channel estimation block is : 20 * number of bit of the counter * number of point of the channel(Using parallel hardware implementation of each finger, to keep low clock rate of 1/PRP) • Increment/decrement Counter limited to 8 bits in optimized architecture. • Consumption : • As the increment/decrement operation needs to be done only at each pulse the frequency is 1/PRP. • The estimation of the consumption in 0.13 m is 6 nW/Gate/MHz • See table on the following slide Didier Helal and Philippe Rouzet, STM

  46. Current Demonstrator Platform • RF transmitter and receiver : ASIC. • First chipset already in test • Full chipset on September 2003 • Baseband : • Today : off-the-shelves board (Nallatech BenNuey) with FPGA Xilinx Virtex2 6000 • End of 2003 : ASIC 0.13 m • Current progress in demonstrator shows low risk manufacturability (Baseband in FPGA today implies easy migration to ASIC, RF already in test) Didier Helal and Philippe Rouzet, STM

  47. FPGA Floorplaning and Routing Current estimates on gate count and power consumption are based on real implementation Started process "Map". Using target part "2v3000bf957-5". Design Summary: Number of errors: 0 Number of warnings: 0 Number of Slices: 7,666 out of 14,336 53% Number of Slices containing unrelated logic: 0 out of 7,666 0% Number of Slice Flip Flops: 1,685 out of 28,672 5% Total Number 4 input LUTs: 13,870 out of 28,672 48% Number used as LUTs: 13,709 Number used as a route-thru: 161 Number of bonded IOBs: 101 out of 684 14% IOB Flip Flops: 4 Number of GCLKs: 1 out of 16 6% Didier Helal and Philippe Rouzet, STM

  48. Easy Manufacturability and attractive form factor • Full system can be built in CMOS technology • single chip • Die size estimated at less than 5mm2 in 0.13m • Antenna size : expected 3cm x 3cm • Time to Market can be less than 1.5 years ! Didier Helal and Philippe Rouzet, STM

  49. Monoband or adaptive band assets • More band means more performance • Theoretical capacity is linear with BW • Increases per bit energy (given datarate and spectrum limit) and so performance by better SNR • UWB interference rejection varies with BW.PRP product • Given a modulation scheme, dref/dint ~ sqrt(BW) • Synchronization (use of full band, good energy level available, short sequence possible, fine synch and channel estimation optimized joint process) • Better channel time resolution (allows good localization ability) • More bandwidth means less fading issues, almost perfect energy capture (using infinite rake architecture) • Flexibility • BW to use (pulse shape) is not hard coded in standard (self adjusted performance from technology available : forward and backward compatibility between generations) • PRP is easily changed (data rate flexibility) Didier Helal and Philippe Rouzet, STM
