  • Intro. 5

The wireless channel

  • Free space propagation

✓ Typical attenuation: λ = 0.1m, d = 1m → -30dB (1/1000!) ✓ Attenuation # 1

dn with 2 ≤ n

At best, the radiated power is projected on (a part of) a sphere whose surface grows in the order of

1 4πd2 .

✓ May be worse!

  • The atmosphere is (mostly) transparent

✓ 10−2dB/km attenuation for radio waves in the air ✓ Twisted pair: > 1dB/100m ✓ Attenuation is exponential! (and so it makes sense to measure attenuation in dB) ✓ Strong attenuation in concrete, metal; varies with λ

→ Good for long distance communications (if only the world was flat…) → Strong attenuation, even over short distances

  • No confinement

✓ …

Radio waves

  • Propagation

✓ Ground wave

◮ f < 2MHz; (…) ◮ AM radio

✓ Sky wave (Reflection on the ionosphere) ★ Line of sight

  • Diffraction, refraction, absorption, scattering
  • Multi-paths, fading

SLIDE 8
  • Intro. 8

Digital transmission Channel capacity

  • Channel characteristics

✓ Bandwidth ✓ Signal to Noise power ratio (Signal power imited by regulation, amplifier performance, distance, antenna…)

  • Nyquist bandwidth

✓ Channel width B (Hz) → 2B (bauds) max trans. rate ✓ (bauds ⇔ symbols/s) ✓ POTS modems had a capacity of 56kb/s on a channel several kHz wide… ← multilevel signaling

  • Shannon capacity (How many levels can I use?)

✓ The signal is subject to noise. If levels are too close from each

  • ther, there is a risk of error!

C = B log2(1 + SNR) where SNR is the ratio of power in the signal to the power in the noise.

Physical layer for wireless

  • Antennas

✓ Why does an antenna radiate power? ✓ Radiation pattern

EHIJ I08N L39, O21, L39, K2-3/ L39,4 K02- L39, P?==

Example: cellular net. antennas point toward the ground ✓ Polarization

slide-10
SLIDE 10
  • Intro. 10

Physical layer for wireless (cont.)

  • Not baseband transmission! (→ modulation)
  • Synchronisation (→ preamble)

(Ex.: for ASM, to which level does a logical “1” correspond?)

  • Spread spectrum

✓ Can help to reduce impact of noise ✓ Does not work for e.g. white noise

  • Error detection, correction
  • Scrambling
slide-11
SLIDE 11
  • Intro. 11

Link layer for wireless

  • ARQ
  • Association information

✓ Which network am I connecting to? → Beacons / discovery

  • Multiplexing / channel sharing

✓ (Sub) Channel choice ✓ Channel access

◮ Centralized ◮ Localized ( distributed)

  • Addressing (may include a relay address…)
  • Fragmentation/reassembly
  • Power management

✓ Idle listening is also power consuming

slide-12
SLIDE 12
  • Intro. 12

Multiplexing

☛ ✡ ✟ ✠

Multiplexing: several entities or flows share the same transmission channel

  • In time

✓ CSMA ✓ TDMA (GSM: 8 uni-directional connection/freq. band)

  • Frequency

FDMA: GSM, DECT, 802.11

  • Code

✓ CDMA (3G) ✓ Frequency hopping (Bluetooth)

  • Spatial

An example: DECT

Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications

  • 32kb/s; 1920 MHz–1930 MHz (US);

(G)FSK

  • FDMA + TDMA
  • The base station transmits

permanently in one slot (→ discovery)

  • Encryption
  • Several data profiles (e.g. HDLC

framing etc.)

  • Intro. 14

Applications of wireless networks

  • Long distance links
  • Cellular phones

★ Wireless LAN (802.11) ★ Internet access (802.11, 802.16—WiMAX) ★ Wireless personal area network (802.15.1—Bluetooth)

✓ High rate, short range, low power consumption

★ Sensor networks (802.15.4—Zigbee)

✓ Low power consumption

* Ad hoc networks (Mobile multihop network)

✓ Routing ✓ Performance issues

* Mesh networks
