Cellular Network Examples
0G Single, powerful base station covering a wide area,
and each telephone would effectively monopolize a channel over that whole area while in use (developed in 40’s)
No frequency use or handoff (basis of modern cell phone technology)
1G Fully automatic cellular networks introduced in the early to mid 1980s
2G Introduced in 1991 in Finland on the GSM standard Offered the first data service with person-to-person
SMS text messaging
Cellular Network Examples
3G: Faster than PCS; Used for
multimedia and graphics Compared to 2G and 2.5G services,
3G allows simultaneous use of speech and data services and higher data rates (up to 14.4 Mbit/s on the downlink and 5.8 Mbit/s.
4G: Fourth generation of cellular
wireless; providing a comprehensive and
secure IP based service to users "Anytime, Anywhere" at high data rates
GSM: Overview
GSM formerly: Groupe Spéciale Mobile (founded 1982) now: Global System for Mobile Communication Pan-European standard (ETSI, European
Telecommunications Standardisation Institute) simultaneous introduction of essential services in three
phases (1991, 1994, 1996) by the European telecommunication administrations (Germany: D1 and D2) seamless roaming within Europe possible
today many providers all over the world use GSM (more than 130 countries in Asia, Africa, Europe, Australia, America)
more than 100 million subscribers
Performance characteristics of GSM
Communication mobile, wireless communication; support for voice and data
services
Total mobility international access, chip-card enables use of access points of
different providers
Worldwide connectivity one number, the network handles localization
High capacity better frequency efficiency, smaller cells, more customers per cell
High transmission quality high audio quality and reliability for wireless, uninterrupted phone
calls at higher speeds (e.g., from cars, trains)
Security functions access control, authentication via chip-card and PIN
Disadvantages of GSM
There is no perfect system!! no end-to-end encryption of user data no full ISDN bandwidth of 64 kbit/s to the user, no transparent
B-channel
reduced concentration while driving electromagnetic radiation
abuse of private data possible roaming profiles accessible
high complexity of the system several incompatibilities within the GSM standards
GSM: Mobile Services
GSM offers several types of connections
voice connections, data connections, short message service multi-service options (combination of basic services)
Three service domains Bearer Services Telematic Services Supplementary Services

Bearer Services
Telecommunication services to transfer data between access points
Specification of services up to the terminal interface (OSI layers 1-3)
Different data rates for voice and data (original standard) data service (circuit switched)
synchronous: 2.4, 4.8 or 9.6 kbit/s asynchronous: 300 - 1200 bit/s
data service (packet switched) synchronous: 2.4, 4.8 or 9.6 kbit/s asynchronous: 300 - 9600 bit/s
Tele Services I
Telecommunication services that enable voice communication via mobile phones
All these basic services have to obey cellular functions, security measurements etc.
Offered services mobile telephony
primary goal of GSM was to enable mobile telephony offering the traditional bandwidth of 3.1 kHz
Emergency numbercommon number throughout Europe (112); mandatory for all service providers; free of charge; connection with the highest priority (preemption of other connections possible)
Multinumberingseveral ISDN phone numbers per user possible
Tele Services II
Additional services Non-Voice-Teleservices
group 3 fax voice mailbox (implemented in the fixed network supporting the mobile
terminals) electronic mail (MHS, Message Handling System, implemented in the fixed
network) ...
Short Message Service (SMS)alphanumeric data transmission to/from the mobile terminal using the signaling channel, thus allowing simultaneous use of basic services and SMS
Supplementary services
Services in addition to the basic services, cannot be offered stand-alone
Similar to ISDN services besides lower bandwidth due to the radio link
May differ between different service providers, countries and protocol versions
Important services identification: forwarding of caller number suppression of number forwarding automatic call-back conferencing with up to 7 participants locking of the mobile terminal (incoming or outgoing calls) ...

WiMAX Architecture MAC (data link) layer- Technology
• The WiMAX MAC uses a scheduling algorithm for which the subscriber station needs to compete only once for initial entry into the network.
• In addition to being stable under overload and over-subscription, the scheduling algorithm can also be more bandwidth efficient.
• The scheduling algorithm also allows the base station to control Quality of service (QoS) parameters by balancing the time-slot assignments among the application needs of the subscriber stations.

OFDM
LTE uses OFDM for the downlink – that is, from the base station to the terminal. OFDM meets the LTE requirement for spectrum flexibility and enables cost-efficient solutions for very wide carriers with high peak rates. OFDM uses a large number of narrow sub-carriers for multi-carrier transmission.
The basic LTE downlink physical resource can be seen as a time-frequency grid. In the frequency domain, the spacing between the subcarriers, Δf, is 15kHz. In addition, the OFDM symbol duration time is 1/Δf + cyclic prefix. The cyclic prefix is used to maintain orthogonality between the sub-carriers even for a time-dispersive radio channel.
One resource element carries QPSK, 16QAM or 64QAM. With 64QAM, each resource element carries six bits.
The OFDM symbols are grouped into resource blocks. The resource blocks have a total size of 180kHz in the frequency domain and 0.5ms in the time domain. Each 1ms Transmission Time Interval (TTI) consists of two slots (Tslot).
In E-UTRA, downlink modulation schemes QPSK, 16QAM, and 64QAM are available.
SC-FDMA
The LTE uplink transmission scheme for FDD and TDD mode is based on SC-FDMA (Single Carrier Frequency Division Multiple Access).
This is to compensate for a drawback with normal OFDM, which has a very high Peak to Average Power Ratio (PAPR). High PAPR requires expensive and inefficient power amplifiers with high requirements on linearity, which increases the cost of the terminal and also drains the battery faster.
SC-FDMA solves this problem by grouping together the resource blocks in such a way that reduces the need for linearity, and so power consumption, in the power amplifier. A low PAPR also improves coverage and the cell-edge performance.
Still, SC-FDMA signal processing has some similarities with OFDMA signal processing, so parameterization of downlink and uplink can be harmonized.

LTE Uplink (SC-FDMA)
SC-FDMA is a new single carrier multiple access technique which has similar structure and performance to OFDMA
A salient advantage of SC-FDMA over OFDM is low to Peak to Average Power Ratio (PAPR) :
Increasing battery life
SDMA = Smart Antenna TechnologiesBeamforming
Use multiple-antennas to spatially shape the beam to improve coverage and capacity
Spatial Multiplexing (SM) or Collaborative MIMO Multiple streams are transmitted over
multiple antennas Multi-antenna receivers separate the
streams to achieve higher throughput In uplink single-antenna stations can
transmit simultaneouslySpace-Time Code (STC)
Transmit diversity such as Alamouti code [1,2] reduces fading
2x2 Collaborative MIMO increases the peak data rate two-fold by transmitting two data streams.
Multiple Antenna Techniques
MIMO employs multiple transmit and receive antennas to substantially enhance the air interface.
It uses spacetime coding of the same data stream mapped onto multiple transmit antennas, which is an improvement over traditional reception diversity schemes where only a single transmit antenna is deployed to extend the coverage of the cell.
MIMO processing also exploits spatial multiplexing, allowing different data streams to be transmitted simultaneously from the different transmit antennas, to increase the end-user data rate and cell capacity.
In addition, when knowledge of the radio channel is available at the transmitter (e.g. via feedback information from the receiver), MIMO can also implement beam-forming to further increase available data rates and spectrum efficiency

Satellite Broadband Wireless
Use of satellites for personal wireless communication is fairly recent
Satellite use falls into three broad categories Satellites are used to acquire scientific data and perform research in
space Satellites look at Earth from space Satellites include devices that are simply reflectors
Satellite Technology Outlook
Satellites can provide wireless communication In areas not covered by cellular or WiMAX
Satellites today are enabling carriers to offer Internet access and voice calls to passengers and crews across large
oceans And in high latitudes and remote corners of the Earth
Can also make these services available in many other unpopulated areas
Satellite Broadband Wireless
Rotate with the earth, usually over equator; 1/3 earth coverage
Satellite orbit altitudes
Satellite Transmissions
Satellites generally send and receive on one of four frequency bands
Frequency band affects the size of the antenna
L: GPSS: weather, NASA, Sirius/XM satellite radioC: open satellite communicationsKu: popular with remote locations transmitting back to TV studioKa: communications satellites
Satellite Transmissions (continued)

Low Earth Orbit (LEO)
Low earth orbit (LEO) satellites Circle the Earth at an altitude of 200 to 900 miles Must travel at high speeds
So that the Earth’s gravity will not pull them back into the atmosphere Area of Earth coverage (called the footprint) is small
LEO systems have a low latency Use low-powered terrestrial devices (RF transmitters) Round trip time: 20 to 40 milliseconds
Orbits for typical LEO and MEO systems, e.g. GPS
LEO and MEO satellites need to move or their orbits will decay; thus need >1 satellite to maintain connection.
LEO satellite systems
UML: user mobile linkGWL: gateway linkISL: intersatellite link
Low Earth Orbit (LEO) (continued)
LEO satellites groups Big LEO
Carries voice and data broadband services, such as wireless Internet access Little LEO
Provides pager, satellite telephone, and location services
LEO example: Iridium constellation
Designed by Motorola during the 1990s, wentbankrupt in 1999. What cost $5 billion was soldfor $25 million.
66 active satellites with a few spares at a heightof 781 km (485 miles).
Sold to Iridium Communications Inc.
Iridium plans to send up 66 new satellites and 6 sparesstarting in 2015, called IridiumNext. Data and voice.
Medium Earth Orbit (MEO)
Medium earth orbit (MEO) satellites Orbit the Earth at altitudes between 1,500 and 10,000 miles Some MEO satellites orbit in near-perfect circles
Have a constant altitude and constant speed Other MEO satellites revolve in elongated orbits called highly elliptical
orbits (HEOs)
Advantages MEO can circle the Earth in up to 12 hours Have a bigger Earth footprint
Medium Earth Orbit (MEO)
Medium Earth Orbit (MEO)
Disadvantage Higher orbit increases the latency Round trip time: 50 to 150 milliseconds
HEO satellites Have a high apogee (maximum altitude) and a low perigee (minimum
altitude) Can provide good coverage in extreme latitudes Orbits typically have a 24-hour period
MEO example: GPS (global positioning system)
GPS was established in 1973 by U.S. and consisted of 24 satellites (now ~32).

GPS can provide absolute location, relative movement, andtime transfer.
Inducted into Space Foundation Space Technology Hallof Fame in 1998.
Three satellites gives you 2 points, but you can choose theone on the ground; 4 gives you 1 point and overcomes clockerrors; usually see at least 6; often see 8-10
MEO example: GPS (global positioning system)
Each satellite continually transmits messagesthat include (1) the time the message wastransmitted, (2) precise orbital information (theephemeris), and (3) general system health and rough orbits of all GPS satellites (the almanac)
Receiver takes messages, determines the transit time of eachmessage and computes the distances to each satellite.
These distances along with satellites’ locations are usein determining receiver’s location (trilateration).

GPS consists of 3 segments
(1) Space segment – the space vehicles at ~20,200km
(2) Control segment – a master control station, an alternatemaster control station, four dedicated ground antennas, andsix dedicated monitor stations
(3) User segment – you and me
All satellites broadcast at two frequencies: 1.57542 GHz and1.2276 GHz using CDMA spread-spectrum technology
What will you create?
Geosynchronous Earth Orbit (GEO)
Geosynchronous earth orbit (GEO) satellites Stationed at an altitude of 22,282 miles Orbit matches the rotation of the Earth
And moves as the Earth moves Can provide continuous service to a very large footprint
Three GEO satellites are needed to cover the Earth Have high latencies of about 250 milliseconds Require high-powered terrestrial sending devices

Example GEO satellite – Weather
Weather satellites can watch more than weather. Can alsoobserve city lights, fires, pollution effects, auroras, sand anddust storms, snow cover, energy flows, volcano output, etc.
Can observe both visible spectrum and infrared spectrum
The U.S. has two geostationary weather birds: GOES-11 andGOES-12. GOES-12, or GOES-EAST, over the MississippiRiver, covers most of the U.S. weather. GOES-11 covers theeastern Pacific Ocean.
