WiFi - Supplement

WiFi – new standards

• The old standards cover 80-90 % of thebandwidth demand of today’s mobile applications

• New standards enter the market:– 802.11ac

– 802.11ad

WiFi – 802.11ac• Major features:

– Wider channels:• Higher data rates – up to 1.3Gbps per radio

• 802.11ac mandates support of 80MHz wide channels with optional 160MHz wide channels to achieve higher data rates than are achieved with 802.11n


– Wider channels:• Main disadvantage – smaller number of available

channels


– Higher encoding density:• Higher bit density per packet• 256-QAM modulation used

– Increased number of spatial streams:• Higher data rates per AP/client link

• Up to eight spatial streams, further increasing the data rate for each radio


– Beamforming:• Greater wireless AP/client link reliability

– Multi-user MIMO• Greater AP/client capacity and efficient use of spectrum

• Supports simultaneous transmissions to multiple clients and maximizes RF band utilization

• Up to four distinct clients can receive data simultaneously from a single AP at full channel data rate

WiFi – 802.11ac

• Timetable for commercial availability

WiFi – 802.11ad

• IEEE 802.11ad is an amendment to the 802.11 WLAN standard which enables up to 7 Gbps data rates in the unlicensed and globally available 60 GHz band

• The 60 GHz band has wider channels, enabling higher data rates over short distances (1m – 10m)

WiFi – 802.11ad

• Main applications:– Removing wires between High-Definition

multimedia, computer displays, I/O and peripheral,

– peer to peer data synchronization

– higher speed LAN

WiFi – 802.11ad

• A shared MAC layer with existing 802.11 networks enables session switching between 802.11 networks operating in the 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz and 60 GHz bands

• The 802.11ad MAC layer has been extended:– to include beamforming support

– address the 60 GHz specific aspects of channel access, synchronization, association, and authentication

GSM - Introduction

Cellular Network• Base stations transmit to and receive from mobiles at the

assigned spectrum

– Multiple base stations use the same spectrum (spectral reuse)

• The service area of each base station is called a cell

• Each mobile terminal is typically served by the ‘closest’ base

stations

– Handoff when terminals move

Cellular Network Generations• It is useful to think of cellular Network/telephony in

terms of generations:

– 0G: Briefcase-size mobile radio telephones

– 1G: Analog cellular telephony

– 2G: Digital cellular telephony

– 3G: High-speed digital cellular telephony (including video

telephony)

– 4G: IP-based “anytime, anywhere” voice, data, and

multimedia telephony at faster data rates than 3G

(to be deployed in 2012–2015)

GSM Services• Voice, 3.1 kHz

• Short Message Service (SMS) – 1985 GSM standard that allows messages of at most 160 chars. (incl.

spaces) to be sent between handsets and other stations

– Over 2.4 billion people use it; multi-billion $ industry

• General Packet Radio Service (GPRS)– GSM upgrade that provides IP-based packet data transmission up to

114 kbps

– Users can “simultaneously” make calls and send data

– GPRS provides “always on” Internet access and the Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS) whereby users can send rich text, audio,video messages to each other

– Performance degrades as number of users increase

– GPRS is an example of 2.5G telephony – 2G service similar to 3G

Data transfer in GSM• The "data over cellular" bearer services are part of the

Phase 2 implementation of GSM

• The basic data transfer technology is called CSD (Circuit Switched Data)

• A GSM network’s data transfer facility allows the digital equivalent of modem transmissions - known as data streaming - at data speeds of up to 9,600 bits per second in GSM900 and 14,400 bits per second inGSM1800 networks

GSM – frequency slots

GSM Frequencies• Originally designed on 900MHz range, now also

available on 800MHz, 1800MHz and 1900 MHz

ranges.

• Separate Uplink and Downlink frequencies

– One example channel on the 1800 MHz frequency band,

where RF carriers are space every 200 MHz

1710 MHz 1880 MHz1805 MHz1785 MHz

UPLINK FREQUENCIES DOWNLINK FREQUENCIES

UPLINK AND DOWNLINK FREQUENCY SEPARATED BY 95MHZ

Data bursts – Normal burst• Modulation used in GSM is GMSK -> 270kb/s

GSM 2.5G+ standards

HSCSD

• High-speed circuit-switched data (HSCSD), is an enhancement to circuit switched data (CSD), with data rates up to 57.6 kbit/s

• Channel allocation is done in circuit-switched mode, as with CSD

• Higher speeds are achieved as a result of superior coding methods, and the ability to use multiple time slots to increase data throughput (up to 4 slots)

HSCSD

• Pro:– Flexible bearer service (BS) for higher data rates

up to 57.6kb/s (1800MHz) or 38.4kb/s (900MHz)

– Transparent and non-transparent bearer services

– Rate adaptation for several standard interfaces incl. X.30/V.110, V.24, etc.

HSCSD

• Cons– Circuit-switched access, which is often

inefficient for data services that are bursty in nature

– Higher call blocking probability due to multi-slotallocation

– Possible high cost of service as it competes with voice service for the same resources

GPRS• General packet radio service (GPRS) is a

packet oriented mobile data service

• It is available both in 2G and 3G networks

• In 2G systems, GPRS provides data rates of 56-114 kbit/second

• Allows for efficient use of the bandwidth(statistical multiplexing)

• Circuit switching & Packet switching can be used in parallel
