Cellular Network Concept
Use multiple low-power transmitters (100 W or less)Areas divided into cells
Each served by its own antennaServed by base station consisting of transmitter, receiver, and control unitBand of frequencies allocatedCells set up such that antennas of all neighbors are equidistant (hexagonal pattern)
2008/10/24 J. P. Sheu 4
Frequency Reuse
Adjacent cells assigned different frequencies to avoid interference or crosstalkObjective is to reuse frequency in nearby cells
10 to 50 frequencies assigned to each cellTransmission power controlled to limit power at that frequency escaping to adjacent cellsThe issue is to determine how many cells must intervene between two cells using the same frequency
N: reuse factorN= I2 + J2 + (I x J)

Capacity Enhancement
Adding new channelsFrequency borrowing – frequencies are taken from adjacent cells by congested cellsCell splitting – cells in areas of high usage can be split into smaller cellsCell sectoring – cells are divided into a number of wedge-shaped sectors, each with their own set of channelsMicrocells – antennas move to buildings, hills, and lamp posts

Channel Allocation Algorithms
Fixed channel allocationAllowed to borrow some channels from neighbors
Dynamic channel allocationRequire a centralized arbitrator to allocate channels
Hybrid channel allocationA set of local channels and another set of borrowable channels

Cellular Systems Terms
Base Station (BS) – includes an antenna, a controller, and a number of transceiversMobile telecommunications switching office (MTSO) – connects calls between mobile unitsTwo types of channels available between mobile unit and BS
Control channels – used to exchange information having to do with setting up and maintaining callsTraffic channels – carry voice or data connection between users
2008/10/24 J. P. Sheu 13
Steps in an MTSO Controlled Call Between Mobile Users
Mobile unit initializationMH scans and select the strongest setup control channel
Mobile-originated callMH sending the called unit on the pre-selected setup channel
PagingThe MTSO sends a paging message to certain BSs
Call acceptedOngoing callHandoff
2008/10/24 J. P. Sheu 15
Handoff Performance Metrics
Handoff delay – delay time in the transfer an on-going call from the current cell to the new cellDuration of interruption – the duration of time during a handoff which is not connected to either BSHandoff success probability – probability that a handoff is successfulProbability of unnecessary handoff – probability of the pin-pong effect
Improved Handoff Strategies
Prioritization: a certain number of channels are reserved for handoffRelative signal Strength: a minimum time for which an MT must be in a cell before it can request a handoffSoft handoffs: a period of time when more than one BS handles a call can be allowedPredictive handoffs: predict the mobility pattern of mobile usersAdaptive handoffs: users may have to be shifted across different layers, from micro- to macro- cellular

Handoff Strategies Used to Determine Instant of Handoff
Relative signal strength (at L1 )Relative signal strength with threshold (at L2 for Th2)Relative signal strength with hysteresis (at L3 )Relative signal strength with hysteresis and threshold (at L4 for Th3 )Prediction techniques: based on the expected future value of the received signal strength
2008/10/24 J. P. Sheu 19
Power Control
Design issues making it desirable to include dynamic power control in a cellular system
Received power must be sufficiently above the background noise for effective communicationDesirable to minimize power in the transmitted signal from the mobile
Reduce co-channel interference, alleviate health concerns, save battery power
In SS systems using CDMA, it’s desirable to equalize the received power level from all mobile units at the BS
2008/10/24 J. P. Sheu 20
Types of Power Control
Open-loop power controlDepends solely on mobile unitNo feedback from BSNot as accurate as closed-loop, but can react quicker to fluctuations in signal strength
Closed-loop power controlAdjusts signal strength in reverse channel based on metric of performanceBS makes power adjustment decision and communicates to mobile on control channel
2008/10/24 J. P. Sheu 22
First-Generation Analog
Advanced Mobile Phone Service (AMPS)In North America, two 25-MHz bands allocated to AMPS
One for transmission from base to mobile unitOne for transmission from mobile unit to base
Each band split in two to encourage competitionFrequency reuse exploited
2008/10/24 J. P. Sheu 23
Differences Between First and Second Generation Systems
Digital traffic channels – first-generation systems are almost purely analog; second-generation systems are digitalEncryption – all second generation systems provide encryption to prevent eavesdroppingError detection and correction – second-generation digital traffic allows for detection and correction, giving clear voice receptionChannel access – second-generation systems allow channels to be dynamically shared by a number of users

Mobile Wireless TDMA Design Considerations
Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM)Number of logical channels (number of time slots in TDMA frame): 8Maximum cell radius (R): 35 kmFrequency: region around 900 MHz,1800 MHz, or 1900 MHzMaximum vehicle speed (Vm):250 km/hrMaximum coding delay: approx. 20 msMaximum delay spread (Δm): 10 μsBandwidth: Not to exceed 200 kHz (25 kHz per channel)
Maximum data rate for each channel is 34Kbps
Control Channels
Broadcast Control Channel (BCCH)A downlink channel that contains the BS’s idendity and channel status. All MTs monitor the BCCH to detect if the have moved to a new cell.
Dedicated Control Channel (DCCH)Used for call-setup, locations updates, and all call-management related information exchange. Every call has its own allotted DCCH
Common Control Channels (BCCH)Consists of the downlink paging channel to page any MTMT to BS for call-initiation, and the access grant chnnel

Speech Coding
Traditional speech coding use pulse code modulation (PCM)
The data rate of PCM: 64 kbpsThis rate is undesirably high for use in cellular radio
With current technology, 12kbps is enough Due to the maximum coding delay is 20 ms it is reasonable to form the encoded speech into blocks of 20 ms duration, or speech samples of 240 bits

Wireless in Local Loop
Local loop: the last hop connectivity between the subscriber and PSTNAdvantages:
Easy deployment, high scalabilityLow investment cost, cost effective

IEEE 802.16 Standard
Metropolitan area networks (MANs) span several km and cover large parts of citiesMANs much larger in size than LANs and their functionalities differ from those LANsIEEE 802.16 is called air interface for fixed broadband wireless access systems
Based on OSI model, specifies air interface including data link layer and physical layer
2008/10/24 J. P. Sheu 37
Differences between 802.11 and 802.16
IEEE 802.16 was designed for broadband data such as digital video and telephonyThe number of users and BW usage per user is much higher than IEEE 802.11IEEE 802.16 is completely connection-oriented and QoS guarantees
2008/10/24 J. P. Sheu 38
Physical LayerUses traditional narrow-band radio (10-66 GHz) with conventional modulation schemeTwo new protocols attempt to close to IEEE 802.11
802.16a operates in the 2 – 11 GHz and 802.16b operates in 5 GHz ISM band
Since the signal strength falls off sharply with distance from the BS, the following three modulation scheme are used
QAM-64 used by subscribers located near the BS QAM-16 used by subscribers located at intermediate distance from the BSQPSK used by subscribers located far away from the BS
2008/10/24 J. P. Sheu 39
Data Link Layer
DLL of IEEE 802.16 can be subdivided into three sublayers
Security sublayer: only the payloads are encryptedMAC sublayer: deals with channel management and slot allocation to stationsServices specific convergence sublayer: interface to the network layer
2008/10/24 J. P. Sheu 40
MAC Sublayer
On the downlink, data to the SS is TDM and on the uplink, the medium is shared by the SSs using TDMAEach uplink connection has four classes of services:
Constant bit rate service (voice)Real-time variable bit rate service (multimedia)Non-real-time variable bit rate service (file transfer)Best effort service (others)
