MULTIPLE ACCESS METHODS

Frequency Division Multiple Access (FDMA)

FDMA is a multiple access method in which users areassigned specific frequency bands. The user has soleright of using the frequency band for the entire callduration.

Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA)

In TDMA an assigned frequency band shared among

a few users. However, each user is allowed totransmit in predetermined time slots. Hence,channelization of user is achieved through separationin time.

CDMA: Code Division Multiple CDMA is a method

in which users occupy the same time and frequency

allocations, and are channelized by unique assignedcodes. The signals are separated at the receiver by using

a correlator that Access

accepts only signal energy from the desired channel.Undesired signals contribute only to the noise.

A CDMA system uses effective power control process.

Advantages:-

The main advantages of this technologyare:

1. Fast Network deployment.

2. Reduced service interruptions.

3. Low Maintenance & operational cost.

4. Better system coverage flexibility5. Higher capacity

6. Easy transition to mobile services.


11/61

Salient Features of CDMA

It is an advanced comm. Technology. It has Anti-jam and security features.

Large capacity as compared to other Technology.

like FDMA and TDMA. It uses spread spectrum technology.

Better use of the multipath.

Frequency Reuse.


12/61

Frequency Reuse

In CDMA reuse patterns are not required.

Subscriber in every cell can use the same frequency

at the same time. Subscriber is discriminated from

another by the assignment of a unique code to every

conversation.

In GSM freq. Reuse pattern of 7 is used.

SPREADING SPECTRUM

Shannons Equation

C= W Log (1+S/N)

Where C=Capacity (bps)

W=Bandwidth

S=Signal Power

N=Noise Power

Shannons Capacity Equation is basis for spread spectrum.

System with large band width can operate at very low SNR level

& can provide acceptable data rate per user.

Therefore in CDMA- All users uses same 1.25 MHz spectrum.

- Each user has unique Digital code identifier.

- Digital codes separate users to avoid interference.


19/61

SPREAD SPECTRUM TECHNIQUES

1. Frequency Hopped Spread Spectrum:

Spreading can also be achieved by hopping the narrowband

information signal over a set of frequencies. The type of

spreading can be classified as fast or slow depending upon

the rate of hopping to the rate of information.

2. Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum:

The information signal is inherently narrowband, on the

order of less than 10KHz. The energy from this narrowbandsignal is spread over a much larger bandwidth by

multiplying the information signal by a wideband spreading

code. DSS technique is used in the IS-95 CDMA cellular

system.


20/61

Since system can tolerate higher amount ofnoise adjacent cells use the same frequency.

There is no frequency planning is involved inCDMA systems.

CDMA Concepts

Each cell/sector uses the same frequency.


21/61

Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum ( DSSS)

Direct multiplication of information signal by a

wideband spreading code.

DSSS is the technique used in IS-95 CDMA systems.

PROCESSING GAIN (PG)

One of the major advantages with an SS system is its

robustness to interference. The system processinggain Gp quantifies the degree of interference

rejection. The system processing gainis the ratio of

RF bandwidth to the information rate:

Gp =W/R

=1.2288x 106 /9.6 x 103

=128

dB gain =10log10 128

=21


25/61

Spread spectrum principle:

Originally spread spectrum radio technology wasdeveloped for military use to counter theinterference by hostile jamming. The broadspectrum of the transmitted signal gives rise

tospread spectrum. A spectrum signal isgenerated by modulating the radio frequency (RF)signal with a code consisting of different pseudorandom binary sequences, which is inherentlyresistant to noisy signal environment.


26/61

A number of spread spectrum RF signals thusgenerated share the same frequency spectrum and

thus the entire bandwidth available in the band willbe used by each of the users using same frequencyat the same time.

On the receive side only the signal energywith the selected binary sequence code is acceptedand information content is recovered. The other usersignals, whose codes do not match contribute only

the noise and are not de-spread back inbandwidth. This transmission and reception ofsignals differentiated by codes using the samefrequency simultaneously by a number of users is

known as code Division Multiple Access (CDMA).


27/61

Techniques as opposed to conventional method ofFrequency Division Multiple Access and TimeDivision Multiple Access.

In the fig. It has been tried to explain that howthe base band signal of 9.6 kbps is spread using along pseudo-random Noise(PN) source to occupy

entire bandwidth of 1.25 Mhz. At the receiving endthis signal will have interference from signals ofother users of the same cell, user different cells andinterference from other noise sources. All thesesignals get combined with the desired signal butusing a correlator and correct PN code, the originaldata can be reproduced back.

Spreading Codes

cdmaOne systems use two types of code sequences: Orthogonal sequences (Walsh codes).

Pseudorandom Noise (PN) sequences.

Long codes (242 =4400 Billion)

Short codes (215 =32768)


32/61

Walsh Codes:-

In CDMA the traffic channels are separated byUnique Walsh code. These are

(a) 64 codes of 64 Bit Length.

(b) Forwarded traffic channel Codes.(c) All codes are orthogonal to each other.

(d) These codes provide Isolation betweenmultiple signals transmitted by base stations


33/61

The basic concept behind creation of the code isas follows:

(a)Repeat the function right

(b)Repeat the function below

(c) Invert function (diagonally)

34/61

By using this technique we create a set of 64such codes of 64 bit length which is known as

Walsh codes. All such codes are orthogonal toeach other. The individual subscriber now canstart communication using one of these codes.These codes are traffic channel codes and are

used for orthogonal spreading of the information inthe entire bandwidth. Orthogonality providesnearly perfect isolation between the multiplesignals transmitted by the base station.


35/61

PN Code Generation

- PN Codes are generated from prime polynomials using

modulo-2 arithmetic.

- State machines generating PN Codes consists of shift

registers & XOR gates.

- The length of the PN Code is equal to 2 -1 ( N= no. of shift

registers).

PN offset (Masking)

- Masking will cause the generator to produce the same

sequence but offset in time.

- Masking provides the shift in time for PN codes.

- Different masks corresponds to different time shifts.

- ESN are used as masks for users on the traffic channels.

CDMA mobiles use rake receivers. The rake

receiver essentially a set of four or more receivers(or fingers). One of the receivers constantlysearches for different multipaths and helps to directthe other three fingers to lock onto strong multipath

signals.

Allows combined reception of up to three differentpaths.

Provides searcher receiver to identify changes inpath characteristics/new cells.

Provides both path diversity and frequency diversity.

Power control

CDMA will not work without an effective power control,

because of the near-far problem, fading & varying pathloss.

The system requires fast closed loop power control for

Raleigh fading.Requires wide dynamic range open loop power control to

handle variations in path losses in different locations.

Open loop power control:

An original estimate is made by the mobile. Mobile

adjusts its trans power according to changes in its received

power from the base station.

Closed loop power control:


57/61

Closed loop power control:

Base station provides rapid correction to the mobiles.

Compares with the threshold value.

Takes decision for increasing or decreasing the power.

Commands the mobile to adjust the output power

accordingly.

58/61

Power control in CDMA

There are basically two methods of powercontrol in CDMA

Open loop power control: This is purely a mobileunit function. It gives open estimation. This is doneonly during the initial stage as soon as the mobile isturned on.

Closed loop power control:This involves both, theBase station and the mobile unit and gives the closedloop power correction.


59/61

Open loop power control

When the mobile is turned on, it locks on tothe pilot, paging and synch channel.

There is no traffic channel assigned to the

mobile and hence no closed loop.

The mobile Tx power will be inversely

proportional to the pilot strength received.


60/61

Open loop power control

The first access probe is sent at a nominal powergiven by:

(Pt)mobile=-(Prx)-73+ Nom_pwr +Init_pwr+ correction

Init_pwr= its range is 16 to +15 db with 0db nominal

value Nom_pwr= correction required(range 8 to

+7db with 0db nom value)

For example,if the nominal rec. level is 90dbm, then themobile Tx power is +17dbm without any correction.

If BTS does not responds,then pwr_step=0-7db


61/61

Closed loop power control

After the traffic channel is assigned, the powercontrol shifts to closed loop control

Reverse channel has got 16 power control

groups of 1.25ms in one 20ms frame. BTS receives the mobile receive power once

every 1.25ms and BTS send Power control bit

in the 2nd next 1.25 ms cycle to increase(0) ordecrease(1) the power by 1db.
