Multiple Access

Many users sharing a resource at the “same time”

Needed because user must share cellsFDMA (frequency division)

◦ Use different frequenciesTDMA (time division)

◦ Use same frequency, different timesCDMA (code division)

◦ Use same frequency, same time, different “codes”

Frequency Division Multiplexing (FDMA)

Advantages: No dynamic

coordination

Disadvantages: Inflexible & inefficient if

channel load is dynamic and uneven

Time Division Multiplexing (TDMA)

Each channel gets entire spectrum for a certain (rotating) time period

Advantage: Can assign more time to senders with heavier loads 3X capacity of FDMA, 1/3 of power consumptionDisadvantage: Requires precise synchronization

Each channel gets a certain frequency band for a certain amount of time. Example: GSM

Advantages:• More robust against frequency-

selective interference• Much greater capacity with

time compression• Inherent tapping protection

Disadvantages• Frequency

changes must be coordinated

Time-Division Multiple Access

SOURCE: QUALCOMM

Code Division Multiplexing (CDMA) Each channel has unique

“code” All channels use same spectrum

at same time but orthogonal codes Advantages:

◦ bandwidth efficient – code space is huge◦ no coordination or synchronization

between different channels◦ resists interference and tapping◦ 3X capacity of TDMA, 1/25 power consumption

Disadvantages:◦ more complex signal regeneration

Implemented using spread spectrum

Wireless LAN

Idea: just a LAN, but without wiresNot as easy since signals are of limited range

◦ Unlike wired LAN, if A can hear B and B can hear C, not necessarily true that A can hear C

Bluetooth A standard permitting for wireless connection of:

Personal computersPrintersMobile phonesHandsfree headsetsLCD projectorsModemsWireless LAN devicesNotebooksDesktop PCsPDAs

Bluetooth Characteristics Operates in the 2.4 GHz Industrial-Scientific-Medical (ISM) (unlicensed)! band. Packet switched. 1 milliwatt (as opposed to 500 mW cellphone. Low cost.

10m to 100m range Uses Frequency Hop (FH) spread spectrum, which divides the frequency band into a number of hop channels. During connection, devices hop from one channel to another 1600 times per second

Bandwidth 1-2 megabits/second Supports up to 8 devices in a piconet (two or more Bluetooth units sharing a channel).

Built-in security. Non line-of-sight transmission through walls and briefcases. Easy integration of TCP/IP for networking.
