Quality-of-Service (QoS)
QoS refers to the requirements associated with a given application, typically rate and delay requirements.
It is hard to make a one-size-fits all network that supports requirements of different applications.
Wired networks often use this approach with poor results, and they have much higher data rates and better reliability than wireless.
QoS for all applications requires a cross-layer design approach.

Electromagnetic Signal
Function of time Can also be expressed as a function of frequency
Signal consists of components of different frequencies
![Page 21: Wireless Communications Instructor: Fatima Naseem Computer Engineering Department, University of Engineering and Technology, Taxila](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649e6b5503460f94b69725/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Time-Domain Concepts
Analog signal - signal intensity varies in a smooth fashion over time No breaks or discontinuities in the signal
Digital signal - signal intensity maintains a constant level for some period of time and then changes to another constant level
Periodic signal - analog or digital signal pattern that repeats over time s(t +T ) = s(t ) - ∞< t < + ∞
where T is the period of the signal
![Page 22: Wireless Communications Instructor: Fatima Naseem Computer Engineering Department, University of Engineering and Technology, Taxila](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649e6b5503460f94b69725/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
![Page 23: Wireless Communications Instructor: Fatima Naseem Computer Engineering Department, University of Engineering and Technology, Taxila](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649e6b5503460f94b69725/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Time-Domain Concepts
Aperiodic signal - analog or digital signal pattern that doesn't repeat over time
Peak amplitude (A) - maximum value or strength of the signal over time; typically measured in volts
Frequency (f ) Rate, in cycles per second, or Hertz (Hz) at which the
signal repeats
![Page 24: Wireless Communications Instructor: Fatima Naseem Computer Engineering Department, University of Engineering and Technology, Taxila](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649e6b5503460f94b69725/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Time-Domain Concepts
Period (T ) - amount of time it takes for one repetition of the signal T = 1/f
Phase () - measure of the relative position in time within a single period of a signal
Wavelength () - distance occupied by a single cycle of the signal Or, the distance between two points of corresponding phase of
two consecutive cycles
![Page 25: Wireless Communications Instructor: Fatima Naseem Computer Engineering Department, University of Engineering and Technology, Taxila](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649e6b5503460f94b69725/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Sine Wave Parameters
General sine wave s(t ) = A sin(2ft + )
Figure 2.3 shows the effect of varying each of the three parameters (a) A = 1, f = 1 Hz, = 0; thus T = 1s (b) Reduced peak amplitude; A=0.5 (c) Increased frequency; f = 2, thus T = ½ (d) Phase shift; = /4 radians (45 degrees)
note: 2 radians = 360° = 1 period
![Page 26: Wireless Communications Instructor: Fatima Naseem Computer Engineering Department, University of Engineering and Technology, Taxila](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649e6b5503460f94b69725/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)

Time vs. Distance
When the horizontal axis is time, as in Figure 2.3, graphs display the value of a signal at a given point in space as a function of time
With the horizontal axis in space, graphs display the value of a signal at a given point in time as a function of distance At a particular instant of time, the intensity of the signal varies as
a function of distance from the source
![Page 28: Wireless Communications Instructor: Fatima Naseem Computer Engineering Department, University of Engineering and Technology, Taxila](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649e6b5503460f94b69725/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Frequency-Domain Concepts
Fundamental frequency - when all frequency components of a signal are integer multiples of one frequency, it’s referred to as the fundamental frequency
Spectrum - range of frequencies that a signal contains Absolute bandwidth - width of the spectrum of a signal Effective bandwidth (or just bandwidth) - narrow band of
frequencies that most of the signal’s energy is contained in
![Page 29: Wireless Communications Instructor: Fatima Naseem Computer Engineering Department, University of Engineering and Technology, Taxila](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649e6b5503460f94b69725/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
![Page 30: Wireless Communications Instructor: Fatima Naseem Computer Engineering Department, University of Engineering and Technology, Taxila](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649e6b5503460f94b69725/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Frequency-Domain Concepts
Any electromagnetic signal can be shown to consist of a collection of periodic analog signals (sine waves) at different amplitudes, frequencies, and phases
The period of the total signal is equal to the period of the fundamental frequency
![Page 31: Wireless Communications Instructor: Fatima Naseem Computer Engineering Department, University of Engineering and Technology, Taxila](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649e6b5503460f94b69725/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Relationship between Data Rate and Bandwidth
The greater the bandwidth, the higher the information-carrying capacity
Conclusions Any digital waveform will have infinite bandwidth BUT the transmission system will limit the bandwidth that can be
transmitted AND, for any given medium, the greater the bandwidth
transmitted, the greater the cost HOWEVER, limiting the bandwidth creates distortions
![Page 32: Wireless Communications Instructor: Fatima Naseem Computer Engineering Department, University of Engineering and Technology, Taxila](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649e6b5503460f94b69725/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)

Analog Signals
A continuously varying electromagnetic wave that may be propagated over a variety of media, depending on frequency
Examples of media: Copper wire media (twisted pair and coaxial cable) Fiber optic cable Atmosphere or space propagation
Analog signals can propagate analog and digital data
![Page 36: Wireless Communications Instructor: Fatima Naseem Computer Engineering Department, University of Engineering and Technology, Taxila](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649e6b5503460f94b69725/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Digital Signals
A sequence of voltage pulses that may be transmitted over a copper wire medium
Generally cheaper than analog signaling Less susceptible to noise interference Suffer more from attenuation Digital signals can propagate analog and digital
data
![Page 37: Wireless Communications Instructor: Fatima Naseem Computer Engineering Department, University of Engineering and Technology, Taxila](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649e6b5503460f94b69725/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)

Digital Signaling
![Page 39: Wireless Communications Instructor: Fatima Naseem Computer Engineering Department, University of Engineering and Technology, Taxila](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649e6b5503460f94b69725/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Reasons for Choosing Data and Signal Combinations
Digital data, digital signal Equipment for encoding is less expensive than digital-to-
analog equipment Analog data, digital signal
Conversion permits use of modern digital transmission and switching equipment
Digital data, analog signal Some transmission media will only propagate analog signals Examples include optical fiber and satellite
Analog data, analog signal Analog data easily converted to analog signal

Analog Transmission
Transmit analog signals without regard to content Attenuation limits length of transmission link Cascaded amplifiers boost signal’s energy for
longer distances but cause distortion Analog data can tolerate distortion Introduces errors in digital data
![Page 41: Wireless Communications Instructor: Fatima Naseem Computer Engineering Department, University of Engineering and Technology, Taxila](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649e6b5503460f94b69725/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Digital Transmission
Concerned with the content of the signal Attenuation endangers integrity of data Digital Signal
Repeaters achieve greater distance Repeaters recover the signal and retransmit
Analog signal carrying digital data Retransmission device recovers the digital data from analog
signal Generates new, clean analog signal
![Page 42: Wireless Communications Instructor: Fatima Naseem Computer Engineering Department, University of Engineering and Technology, Taxila](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649e6b5503460f94b69725/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
About Channel Capacity
Impairments, such as noise, limit data rate that can be achieved
For digital data, to what extent do impairments limit data rate?
Channel Capacity – the maximum rate at which data can be transmitted over a given communication path, or channel, under given conditions
![Page 43: Wireless Communications Instructor: Fatima Naseem Computer Engineering Department, University of Engineering and Technology, Taxila](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649e6b5503460f94b69725/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Concepts Related to Channel Capacity
Data rate - rate at which data can be communicated (bps) Bandwidth - the bandwidth of the transmitted signal as
constrained by the transmitter and the nature of the transmission medium (Hertz)
Noise - average level of noise over the communications path
Error rate - rate at which errors occur Error = transmit 1 and receive 0; transmit 0 and receive 1
![Page 44: Wireless Communications Instructor: Fatima Naseem Computer Engineering Department, University of Engineering and Technology, Taxila](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649e6b5503460f94b69725/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Nyquist Bandwidth
For binary signals (two voltage levels) C = 2B
With multilevel signaling C = 2B log2 M
M = number of discrete signal or voltage levels
![Page 45: Wireless Communications Instructor: Fatima Naseem Computer Engineering Department, University of Engineering and Technology, Taxila](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649e6b5503460f94b69725/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Signal-to-Noise Ratio
Ratio of the power in a signal to the power contained in the noise that’s present at a particular point in the transmission
Typically measured at a receiver Signal-to-noise ratio (SNR, or S/N)
A high SNR means a high-quality signal, low number of required intermediate repeaters
SNR sets upper bound on achievable data rate

Multiplexing
Capacity of transmission medium usually exceeds capacity required for transmission of a single signal
Multiplexing - carrying multiple signals on a single medium More efficient use of transmission medium

Multiple Access
Multiple Access schemes are used to allow many mobile users to share a finite amount of radio spectrum.
The sharing of spectrum is required to achieve high capacity by simultaneous allocating the bandwidth.
Constraint: there should not be severe performance degradation.

Reasons for Widespread Use of Multiplexing
Cost per kbps of transmission facility declines with an increase in the data rate
Cost of transmission and receiving equipment declines with increased data rate
Most individual data communicating devices require relatively modest data rate support

Multiplexing Techniques
Frequency-division multiplexing (FDM) Takes advantage of the fact that the useful bandwidth
of the medium exceeds the required bandwidth of a given signal
Time-division multiplexing (TDM) Takes advantage of the fact that the achievable bit rate
of the medium exceeds the required data rate of a digital signal
