Communication Systems
 Provide electronic exchange of multimedia Data, Voice,
Video, Music, Email, Web pages, etc.
 Communication Systems of today are used for Radio, TV
broadcasting, Data and Public Switched Telephone
Network (voice, fax, modem)
 Cellular Phones
 Computer networks (LANs, WANs, and the Internet)
 Satellite systems (pagers, voice/data, movie broadcasts)
 Bluetooth (Cable replacement)

Wireless Communications

 Multimedia wireless Communications at any


Time and Anywhere
 Brief history
 Ancient Systems: Smoke Signals, Carrier Pigeons
 Radio invented in the 1880s by Marconi
 Many sophisticated military radio systems were developed
during and after WW2
 Cellular has enjoyed exponential growth since 1988, with
more than 2 billion users worldwide today
 Ignited the recent wireless revolution, 1980-2003
Current Wireless Systems
 Cellular systems
 Wireless LANs
 Satellite Systems
 Paging Systems
 Bluetooth
 Ultra Wide Band Systems
Cellular Systems: Reuse channels to maximize
capacity

 Geographic region divided into cells


 Frequencies/timeslots/codes reused at spatially-separated
locations.
 Co-channel interference between same color cells.
 Base stations/MTSOs coordinate handoff and control functions
 Shrinking cell size increases capacity, as well as networking burden

Type of Cells
 Cell radii can be vary from 10’s of meters in
buildings to 100’s of meters in the cities, up to
several km’s in the countryside.
 Macrocells, provide overall area coverage
 Microcells, focus on slow moving subscribers
moving between buildings.
 Picocells, focus on the halls of a theater, or
exhibition centre.

The Wireless Revolution
Cellular is the fastest growing sector of communication
industry (exponential growth since 1982, with over 2 billion users
worldwide today)

 Three generations of wireless

 First Generation (1G): Analog 25 or 30 KHz FM, voice only, mostly


vehicular communication
 Second Generation (2G): Narrowband TDMA and CDMA, voice and
low bit-rate data, portable units.
2.5G increased data transmission capabilities
 Third Generation (3G): Wideband TDMA and CDMA, voice and high
bit-rate data, portable units
Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs)

Access
Point

 WLANs connect “local” computers (100m


range)
 Breaks data into packets
 Channel access is shared (random access)
 Backbone Internet provides best-effort
service
Wireless LAN Standards
 802.11b (Current Generation)
 Standard for 2.4GHz ISM band (80 MHz)
 Frequency hopped spread spectrum
 1.6-10 Mbps, 500 ft range

Since 2008,
 802.11a (Emerging Generation) all WLAN
 Standard for 5GHz NII band (300 MHz) Cards have
 OFDM with time division
 20-70 Mbps, variable range
all 3
 Similar to HiperLAN in Europe standards
 802.11g (New Standard)
 Standard in 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands
 OFDM
 Speeds up to 54 Mbps
Satellite Systems
 Cover very large areas
 Different orbit heights
 GEOs (39000 Km)
 LEOs (2000 Km)

 Optimized for one-way transmission


 Radio (XM, DAB) and movie (SatTV)
broadcasting
 Most two-way systems struggling or
bankrupt
 Expensive alternative to terrestrial
system
 A few ambitious systems on the
horizon
Paging Systems
 Broad coverage for short messaging
 Message broadcast from all base stations
 Simple terminals
 Optimized for 1-way transmission
 Answer-back hard
 Overtaken by cellular
Bluetooth
 Cable replacement RF technology (low cost)
 Short range (10m, extendable to 100m)
 2.4 GHz band (crowded)
 1 Data (700 Kbps) and 3 voice channels

 Widely supported by telecommunications, PC, and


consumer electronics companies
 Few applications beyond cable replacement
Wireless Comm. Design Challenges
 Hardware Design
 Precise components
 Small, lightweight, low power
 Cheap
 High frequency operations
 System Design
 Converting and transferring information
 High data rates
 Robust to noise and interference
 Supports many users
 Network Design
 Connectivity and high speed
 Energy and delay constrains
Evolution towards to 3G
The growth of number of mobile subscribers
