Characteristics of Wireless Characteristics of Wireless ChannelChannel Path loss
Pr/Pt = O(d-γ), where d: distance• γ: 2 (free space), 5 (strong attenuation)
Fading: fluctuation of signal strengthFast fading: due to multipath propagationSlow fading: occurs when objects absorb the
transmissionMay reduced by diversity or adaptive modulation
InterferenceAdjacent channel interference guard bandCo-channel interference cellular, directional
antenna, dynamic channel allocation Inter-symbol interference adaptive

CDMA DSSSCDMA DSSS
used in several wireless broadcast channels (cellular, satellite, etc) standards
unique “code” assigned to each user; i.e., code set partitioning
all users share same frequency, but each user has own “chipping” sequence (i.e., code) to encode data
encoded signal = (original data) X (chipping sequence)
decoding: inner-product of encoded signal and chipping sequence
allows multiple users to “coexist” and transmit simultaneously with minimal interference (if codes are “orthogonal”)

ALOHA and CSMAALOHA and CSMA ALOHA - University of Hawaii (1970)
Transmit whenever it has data to send. Listen to the acknowledgement feedback from the receiver. If a collision occurs (no ACK), retransmits after a random
delay. Utilization: pure Aloha = 18.5%, slotted Aloha = 37%
CSMA - Kleinrock (1975) Listen (Carrier Sense) before transmission 1. If channel is idle, transmit 2. Otherwise, do one of the followings:
• Wait until channel become idle and transmit 1 Persistent-CSMA• Wait until idle and transmit with probability p p Persistent-CSMA• Defer transmission and try again after a random delay NP-CSMA
Carrier sense not foolproof• Propagation delay (also a problem in wireline).• Can sense only at transmitter; but collision happens at receiver (a
wireless problem).

Sense Carrier at ReceiverSense Carrier at Receiver
Busy Tone Multiple Access (BTMA)Receiver sounds a tone when busy receiving.Carrier sense on busy tone before
transmission.Perfect solution. But need a busy tone channel
and extra interface. Channel gains on data and busy tone channels may be different.
“In band” solutionUse virtual carrier sensing. Used in 802.11

HIPERLAN/2HIPERLAN/2
IEEE 802.a (54Mbps) + QoS + handoff + data integrity
To integrate WLANs into cellular system (3G+)
ATM-compatible WLAN CO Fixed size packets support QoS
MAC: based on TDMA/TDD 2msec MAC frame consists of
• BCH: broadcast control• FCH: frame control• ACH: access feedback control• DL: downlink data• UL: uplink data• DiL: direct link (for Ad Hoc)
