Advanced Mobile Phone System
Area is divided into cells with an antenna control by a cell office in each cell
Cell offices communicate with MTSO Transmission frequencies cannot be
the same in adjacent cells Cell size is not fixed
Smaller cells used in higher populated area

Cellular Transmission
Traditionally analogFM used to minimized noise
Digital transmissionCDPD (Cellular Digital Packet Data)
Low-speed digital service over existing cellular network
Based on OSI ModelModem needed

Cellular System
HandoffWhen a mobile telephone leaves a cell1. Its base station notices the signal
fading out2. The base station asks all the
surrounding base stations how much power they are getting from it
3. Ownership is transferred to the neighbor base station that receives strongest power
4. The telephone is informed of its new boss
5. If a call is in progress, it will be asked to switch to a new channel
10
Channels
832 full-duplex channelsEach channel consists of 2 simplex
channelsTransmission channels
(849-824)MHz/30KHz 832
Receiving channels(894-869)MHz/30KHz 832
Typically, actual number of voice channel per cell 45
11
Channel Categories
The 832 channels are divided into four categoriesControl (base to mobile) to manage
the systemPaging (base to mobile) to alert users
to calls for themAccess (bidirectional) for call setup
and channel assignmentData (bidirectional) for voice, fax, or
data

D-AMPS Digital Advanced Mobile Phone System
(a) A D-AMPS channel with three users.(b) A D-AMPS channel with six users.
14
GSMGlobal System for Mobile
Communications GSM uses 124 frequency channels,
each of which uses an eight-slot TDM system
15
GSM
A portion of the GSM framing structure.

Third-Generation Mobile Phones:Digital Voice and Data
Basic services an IMT-2000 network should provideHigh-quality voice transmissionMessaging
Replace e-mail, fax, SMS, chat, etc.
Multimedia Music, videos, films, TV, etc.
Internet accessWeb surfing, w/multimedia
2.5G, 4G, …
17
Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA)
In FDMA, the bandwidth is divided into channels.
In TDMA, the bandwidth is just one channel that is timeshared.
In CDMA, one channel carries all transmissions simultaneously.
18
CDMA
Every station has a chip sequence Bipolar encoding
1 is represented by +10 is represented by -1Silence is represented by 0
The set of chip sequences are orthogonalA chip sequence is represented by a vector of +1’s
and -1’s (for example, 4 sequences A, B, C, & D)A ● B = A ● C = A ● D = B ● C = B ● D = C ● D = 0A ● A = B ● B = C ● C = D ● D = length of chip sequence
Transmission: s = sum of (bit chip_sequence) Receiving: bit = (s ● chip_sequence) /
chip_length● : inner product of two vectors
19
CDMA(a) Binary chip
sequences for four stations
(b) Bipolar chip sequences
(c) Six examples of transmissions
(d) Recovery of station C’s signal
Q: Why does it work?A: _ _ _ _

Wireless LANs
(a) Wireless networking with a base station.(b) Ad hoc networking.
The range of a single radio may not cover the entire system
Multipath fading Noisy

The 802.11 MAC Sublayer Protocol
The hidden station problem.
CSMA/CD does not work (why?) Hidden station and exposed station
problems
The exposed station problem.
25
The 802.11 MAC Sublayer Protocol
Two modes of operations Contention mode
DCF: distributed coordination function CSMA/CA
Collision-free mode PCF: Point coordination function Polling w/ beacon frame
NAV: Network Allocation Vector
26
The 802.11 MAC Sublayer Protocol
Noisy, unreliable Smaller frames reduce probability of frame damages
Fragmentation Each fragment, with its own checksum and sequence
number, is acknowledged individually Stop-and-wait Fragment burst: sequence of fragments
27
The 802.11 MAC Sublayer Protocol
ProblemsNAV terminates at end of the first fragmentHow do DCF and PCF coexist
Solution: interframe spacing
