What are the main differentiating features of 1G, 2G and 3G? What was the bandwidth used in one-direction in 1G AMPS? In DAMPS, how many users share the same bandwidth as AMPS? What are the range of data rates for wideband and broadband wireless systems? What is an unlicensed band? What are some of the typical applications?

TDMA Systems
TDMA systems transmit data in a buffer and burst method. The transmission is noncontinuous. Unlike FDMA systems which can transmit analog signals, TDMA must transmit data and digital modulation must be used.
15
TDMA Features
Only one carrier. No IM.
Number of time slots per frame depends on bandwidth, desired date rate, modulation technique.
Receiver must synchronize to each time slot, thus more synchronization bits are required in TDMA compared to FDMA. It is possible to allocate more than one time slot per frame bandwidth on demand.
16
CDMA
In CDMA signals of different users overlap in time and frequency. The separation is achieved by assigning different codes to each user.

Near-Far Effect
A major problem with DS-CDMA is the dominance of a stronger user. Consider 4th power propagation loss. If both users are transmitting at the same power, what is the received power level difference (in dB) if one user is 10 times closer than the other? Near-far effect demonstrated in the above example is not critical in frequency hopped systems.

Clusters (3)
A cluster must be more or less symmetrical and similar North/South and East/West dimensions. We cannot select cluster size arbitrarily. Cluster sizes must satisfy the following: N = i2+ij+j2 where i and j are nonnegative integers. Thus N = 1, 3, 4, 7, 9, 11, 12
34
Frequency Re-use
The number of effective channels in a service area can be increased by decreasing the cluster size. However, we cannot decrease the cluster size to as low as we like. Decreasing cluster size decreases distance between cells employing same frequencies which in turn increases co-channel interference.
35
36
Handoffs
Mobile unit periodically monitors, measures and ranks all pilots within its range As a mobile moves from one cell (or sector) to another, connection is rerouted to the new cell. Handoffs must be performed successfully, infrequently and imperceptible to the users. (1) Idle hand-off (2) In-call hand-off Idle hand-off occurs when the mobile unit is on but not actively engaged in a call. In this state the mobile unit monitors the paging channel. One of two conditions can trigger an idle handoff (1) Deterioration in reception quality (2) Another pilot is stronger by a certain level.
39
Handoff (handover)
Hard handoff: Channel in source cell is released first and then channel in target cell is engaged. (break before make).This is the only possibility in TDMA or FDMA.
Soft handoff: channel in source cell is retained and used for a while in parallel with channel in target cell.(make before break). This is both a necessity and a blessing for CDMA.
Mobile communicates with multiple BSs during handoff
40
Prioritizing Handoffs
It is possible that many mobile users enter the same cell, placing a heavy load on the new cell. The rate of decrease in the received power (which is usually a function of the velocity of the MS), determines the priority of a handoff.
41
Softer Handoff
Softer handover refers to the handover between the sectors of a cell. Forward link is the same as soft handover. In return link no need to communicate with other Base stations.Thus it is faster.
42
43
How can we support both high speed and low speed users while maintaining a high system capacity and low number of handoffs?
Umbrella cell approach.
45
47
Cell Dragging
Low speed users in microcells often enjoy line of sight communications with the BS even when outside of the boundaries of the cell. Thus handoffs may not be made even when the user is well within the boundaries of a new cell. Cochannel interference to other cells will be increased.
48
The BS receives the signal from the MS as well as from other MSs in other cells transmitting on the same frequency. 50
The signal to CCI power ratio is determined by the distance between co-channels and the propagation exponent of the channel.
51
The worst case Signal to Interference power ratio for an MS located on the cell boundary can be approximated by an equation that does not depend on cell radius, but on the cluster size and the path loss exponent.
