Chapter 1: Introduction to Wireless
Communication Systems

Introduction to Wireless Communication Systems
• Communication is an essential need of human being, e.g., conversation, letter
• “Wireless” used to be the only (limited and unreliable) way to communicate in
ancient times
• Modern wireless communications are based on the electromagnetic field theory
(Maxwell’s equations, Marconi’s invention)
Wireless is often prior to its wired counterpart and has become an important
supplement:
• Marconi’s Wireless Telegraph  Wired Telegraph & Telephone  Cordless, Cellular
Telephone, and Wireless Local Loop
• Broadcast TV  Cable TV  Satellite TV
• Aloha Network  Ethernet  Wireless LAN

Characteristics of Wireless Communication

– Service can be deployed faster than fixed service
– No cost of cable plant
– Service is mobile, deployed almost anywhere
• Unreliable channel (attenuation, fading, shadowing, interference)
• Complicated design and management
• Device limitations (power supply, LCD)
• Limited bandwidth and expensive service

Applications

Mobile Radio Transmission
Mobile Radio Transmission can be of 3 types:
• Simplex - Communication in one direction only e.g. paging, TV, Radio
• Half Duplex – Two way communication, but uses the same radio channel
for both transmission and reception, a user can only transmit or receive
at a time e.g. walkie-talkie
• Full Duplex – Two way simultaneous communication e.g. Telephone

Duplexing
• Frequency Division Duplexing (FDD)
– A pair of simplex channels with a fixed and known frequency separation used for
uplink and downlink
– A duplexer is used to enable the same antenna to be used for simultaneous
transmission and reception
• Time Division Duplexing (TDD)
– Single radio channel is used for uplink and downlink in different time slots
– Used with digital transmission formats

Spectrum allocation for US Cellular

Paging System

Paging Systems
• Sends brief messages to a subscriber
• Typically used to notify a subscriber
– News headlines
– Promotional messages, offers
• Issued message is called a page
• Provide reliable communication to subscribes wherever they are
• Require large transmitter powers (kilowatts) and low data rates (1-2
kbps) for maximum coverage from each base station

Paging
• Simple paging systems are simple and inexpensive - may cover limited
area of 2-5 km.
• Wide area paging can provide worldwide coverage
• Consist of a number of telephone lines, many base station transmitters and large
radio towers which simultaneously broadcast a page – Simulcasting
• Simulcast transmitters may be located within same service area or different cities
or countries

Cordless Telephone Systems
18-08-2022 26

Cordless Telephone Systems
• Full Duplex Communication system
• Provide limited range and mobility
• A portable handset is connected to a dedicated base station, which
is connected to a dedicated telephone line with a specific number
on PSTN
• Earlier cordless systems can communicate up to a few tens of
meters
• Second generation handsets can be used at outdoor locations, up
to a few hundred meters
18-08-2022 27

Cellular Telephone Systems

• Provides wireless connection to mobile phone or PSTN
• Accommodates a large number of users within a limited frequency
spectrum
• Provides high quality service compared to landline
• A large geographical area is divided into a number of smaller area
called cell
• Same frequency channels are reused in far off cells
• Handoff enables calls to proceed uninterrupted when user moves
from one cell to another

Cellular system consists of
• A mobile switching centre (MSC)
– responsible for connecting all mobiles to PSTN
• A number of base stations (BS)
– Consists of several transmitters and receivers
– Towers to support transmit and receive antennas
• A large number of mobile stations (MS)
– Contains a transceiver, an antenna and control circuit

• Base station serves as a bridge between all mobile users in the
cell and also between mobile users and the MSC
• MSC coordinates the activities of all the base stations and
connects the entire cellular system to the PSTN
• A typical MSC handles 100,000 subscribers and 5000
simultaneous conversations
• MSC does all billing and system maintenance functions

Common air interface (CAI) of mobile communication specifies four
different channels:
• Forward voice channels (FVC)
– Used for voice transmission from base station to mobile
• Reverse voice channels (RVC)
– Used for voice transmission from mobile to base station
• Forward control channels (FCC)
– Used for control signal transmission from base station to mobile
• Reverse control channels (RCC)
– Used for control signal transmission from mobile to base station

• Voice Channels
– used for voice and data traffic
– Are 95 % of total number of available channels
• Control channels
– Are used to set up a call and moving it to an unused voice channel
– Carry call initiation and service requests
– Monitored by mobiles when they don’t have a call in progress
– Broadcast all the traffic requests for all mobiles in the system
– Are 5 % of total number of channels

How a call is made from landline to mobile
• When a mobile is turned on, it scans the group of forward control
channels to determine the one with strongest signal
• Monitors that control channel until the signal drops below a usable
level, then again scans the control channels
• When a call is made from landline, MCS sends request to all base
stations
• MIN is broadcast over all the FCC as a paging message
• MS responds by identifying itself over RCC
• BS informs the MSC of the handshake

• MSC instructs the BS to move the call to unused voice channel
• BS signals MS to change frequencies to an unused forward and
reverse voice channel pair
• BS instructs MS to ring
• Once the call is in progress, MSC adjusts the transmitted power
of the mobile and changes the channel of mobile and BS to
maintain call quality as the user moves in and out of range of
each base station (handoff)

How a call is made from mobile
• When a mobile originates a call, a call initiation request is sent
on RCC by MS
• MS transmits MIN, ESN, SCM and telephone number of called
party
• BS sends this data to MSC
• MSC validates the request and makes connection to called
party through PSTN, instructs BS and MS to move to an unused
forward and reverse voice channel pair

Roaming
• Roaming allows subscribers to operate in service areas other than
the one from which service is subscribed
• When a mobile enters different city or state, it is registered as a
roamer in new service area (over FCC)
• MS reports its MIN and ESN to MSC over RCC
• MSC uses this data to request billing status from home location
register (HLR) for each roaming mobile
• Once registered, roaming mobiles are allowed to receive and place
calls from that area and billing is routed to home service provider

Time Division - Synchronous CDMA (TD-SCDMA)
• A time division duplex (TDD) version of UMTS – developed and used in China
• was adopted by 3GPP and included in the 3GPP standards
• TD-SCDMA offers the advantages of a TDD system, and many new
technologies including joint detection, adaptive antennas, and dynamic
channel allocation.
• TD-SCDMA was never deployed outside China
• It promoted the advantages of TDD systems and enabled 4G LTE push
forwards the TDD versions of 4G LTE.

Advantages
• Balances between uplink and downlink to accommodate the different levels
of data transfer.
• Uses unpaired spectrum, spectrum efficiency is more
• It does not require expensive duplexers in the handsets to enable
simultaneous transmission on the uplink and downlink
• Transmit / receive switching times must be accommodated and can reduce
the efficiency of the system.

5G requirements
PARAMETER SUGGESTED PERFORMANCE
Peak data rate At least 20 Gbps downlink and 10 Gbps uplink per mobile
base station. This represents a 20 fold increase on the
downlink over LTE.
5G connection density At least 1 million connected devices per square kilometre
(to enable IoT support).
5G mobility 0 km/h to "500 km/h high speed vehicular" access.
5G energy efficiency The 5G spec calls for radio interfaces that are energy
efficient when under load, but also drop into a low energy
mode quickly when not in use.
5G spectral efficiency 30 bits/Hz downlink and 15 bits/Hz uplink. This assumes
8x4 MIMO (8 spatial layers down, 4 spatial layers up).
5G real-world data rate The spec "only" calls for a per-user download speed of
100 Mbps and upload speed of 50 Mbps.
5G latency 5G networks should offer users a maximum latency of just
4 ms (compared to 20 ms for LTE).

5G Technologies

• The speed, this technology is claiming seems difficult to achieve (in future,
it might be) because of the incompetent technological support in most
parts of the world.
• Many of the old devices would not be competent to 5G, hence, all of
them need to be replaced with new one — expensive deal.
• Developing infrastructure needs high cost.
• Security and privacy issue yet to be solved.

Applications of 5G
• It will make unified global standard for all.
• Network availability will be everywhere and will facilitate people to use
their computer and such kind of mobile devices anywhere anytime.
• Because of the IPv6 technology, visiting care of mobile IP address will be
assigned as per the connected network and geographical position.
• Its application will make world real Wi Fi zone.
• Its cognitive radio technology will facilitate different version of radio
technologies to share the same spectrum efficiently.

6G Communications
• 6G networks are expected to exhibit even more heterogeneity and are likely
to support applications beyond current mobile use scenarios, such
as virtual and augmented reality (VR/AR), ubiquitous instant communications,
pervasive intelligence and the Internet of Things (IoT).
• The mobile network operators will adopt flexible decentralized business
models for 6G, with local spectrum licensing, spectrum sharing, infrastructure
sharing, and intelligent automated management underpinned by mobile edge
computing, artificial intelligence (AI), short-packet communication
and blockchain technologies.

Features of 6G
• Much Higher Data Rate.
• Much Lower Latency.
• Network Reliability and Accuracy.
• Emphasis on Energy-Efficiency.
• Machines as Primary Users.
• AI-Driven Wireless Communication Tools.
• Personalized Network Experience.

Features and challenges of 6G
• AI is included in many of 6G applications
• Human-centric mobile communications will be most important application of 6G.
• High security, secrecy and privacy should be key features of 6G and should be given
particular attention by the wireless research community.
• Frequencies from 100 GHz to 3 THz are promising bands for the next generation of
wireless communication systems because of the wide range of unused and
unexplored spectrum.
• One of the biggest challenges in supporting the required high transmission speeds
will be the limitation of energy/power consumption and associated heat
development in the electronic circuits to acceptable proportions.

WIRELESS LOCAL AREA NETWORK (WLAN)
• A wireless LAN (WLAN) is a wireless computer network that links two or more
devices using wireless communication to form a local area network (LAN) within a
limited area such as a home, school, computer laboratory, campus, or office
building.
• Also known as Wireless Fidelity (Wi-Fi)
• WLANs use radio, infrared and microwave transmission to transmit data from one
point to another without cables.
• Therefore WLAN offers way to build a Local Area Network without cables.
• WLAN can then be attached to an already existing larger network, the internet for
example.

WLAN
• WLAN includes an access point (AP) which is used to connect to the
internet.
• AP sends and receives radio frequency signal to the connected devices.
• In 1990 WLAN installation was expensive and was only deployed where the
wired connection was not possible.
• In the late 1990s, cost to implement WLAN decreased because of using
IEEE 802.11 standard.
• It works with a bandwidth of 2.4 GHZ (802.11b) or 5 GHZ (802.11 a).
• The devices which WLAN connects are also called clients.

WLAN
• WLAN gives a high data transfer rate.
• It uses star topology in which all nodes send/receive data through access
points.
• It works better in homes and offices, especially in offices no extra cables are
required and arranging a meeting is also easy.
• It has a data transfer rate of 1-10 Mbps.
• Wireless LAN uses security which includes WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) or
WPA (Wireless Protected Access).
• It also uses infrared technology if required.

WLAN Standards
• IEEE 802.11 is a working group of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers IEEE
802 standards committee which specifies wireless network standards.
• Wireless LAN is a set of low tier, terrestrial, network technologies for data communication.
• It specifies the set of media access control (MAC) and physical layer (PHY) protocols for
implementing WLAN communication.
• The WLAN standards operates on the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz Industrial, Science and Medical
(ISM) frequency bands.
• It is specified by the IEEE 802.11 standard and it comes in many different variations like IEEE
802.11 a/b/g/n.
• The application of WLAN has been most visible in the consumer market where most
portable computers support at least one of the variations.

Overview of the IEEE 802.11 Wireless LAN standard.
18-08-2022 95

Specifications in the IEEE 802.11 family
• IEEE 802.11
– This pertains to wireless LANs and provides 1 or 2 Mbps transmission in the 2.4
GHz band using either frequency-hopping spread spectrum (FHSS) or direct-
sequence spread spectrum (DSSS).
• IEEE 802.11b
– The 802.11b is a high data rate Wi-Fi, it is an extension to 802.11 that yields a
data rate as fast as 11 Mbps transmission (with a fall-back to 5.5, 2, and 1 Mbps
depending on strength of signal) in the 2.4-GHz band.
– The 802.11b specification uses only DSSS.
– 802.11b was an amendment to the original 802.11 standard added in 1999 to
permit wireless functionality to be analogous to hard-wired Ethernet
connections.

IEEE 802.11 standards
IEEE 802.11a
• This is an extension to 802.11 that goes as fast as 54 Mbps in the 5 GHz band.
• 802.11a employs the orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) encoding
scheme
• 802.11a uses 5 GHz frequency band which is less crowded and hence has relatively
smaller interference problem.
• 802.11a supports up to 54 Mbps of bandwidth, which is much faster than the 11
Mbps bandwidth provided by 802.11b standard devices.
• 802.11a offers as many as 12 non-overlapping channels.

IEEE 802.11g
Advantages:
• Higher bandwidth at 54 Mbps,
• Cheaper than 802.11a, and costs close to 802.11b.
• 802.11g uses 2.4 GHz frequency band, just like 802.11b.
• Backward compatible with 802.11b standard
The main disadvantages are:
• Higher cost compared to 802.11b (at least by 50%)
• Not widely supported by the client machines such as laptops, and PDAs.
• Devices compatible with both 802.11a and 802.11b are needed considering future
expansion and compatibility in diverse network environments.

IEEE 802.11n
– It is build upon previous 802.11 standards by adding multiple-
input multiple-output (MIMO).
– The additional transmitter and receiver antennas allow for increased
data throughput through spatial multiplexing and increased range by
exploiting the spatial diversity through coding schemes like Alamouti
coding.
– The real speed would be 100 Mbit/s (even 250 Mbit/s in PHY level),
and so up to 4-5 times faster than 802.11g.

Wireless Personal Area Network (WPAN)
• A wireless personal area network (WPAN) is a PAN carried over a low-powered,
short-distance wireless network technology such as IrDA, Wireless USB, Bluetooth or
ZigBee.
• The reach of a WPAN varies from a few centimetres to a few meters.
• Unlike WLAN, a connection made through a WPAN involves little or no infrastructure
or direct connectivity to the world outside the link.
• This allows small, power-efficient, inexpensive solutions to be implemented for a
wide range of devices.

Wireless Personal Area Network (WPAN)
Features

• IEEE 802.15 specifies wireless personal area network (WPAN) standards.
• Many standards are available for personal area networks.
• Each standard has strengths and weaknesses, making it suitable for specific
application scenarios.
• In some cases, more than one technology will be able to perform a required
task, hence nontechnical factors such as cost and availability will factor into
the decision as to which technology is more appropriate.

WPAN standards
• Three wireless standards are leading the way for WPANs: IrDA, Bluetooth, and
ZigBee.
• Each of these standards enables users to connect a variety of devices without
having to buy, carry, or connect cables.
• They also provide a way to establish adhoc networks among the abundance
of mobile devices on the market.
• Unlike IR, Bluetooth does not require a line of sight between devices to be
effective. It is able to communicate through physical barriers, typically with a
range of 10 meters. With power amplifiers, 100 meters is possible.

IEEE 802.15.1-Bluetooth
• Bluetooth is a standard for enabling wireless communication between mobile
computers, mobile phones, and portable handheld devices.
• The IEEE 802.15. 1 standard is used for the Bluetooth wireless communication
technology.
• Bluetooth is a low tier, adhoc, terrestrial, wireless standard for short
range communication.
• It is designed for small and low cost devices with low power consumption.

Infrared Data Association (IrDA)
• IrDA is an international organization that creates and promotes interoperable, low-
cost infrared data connection standards.
• IrDA has a set of protocols to support a broad range of appliances, computing, and
communication devices.
• These protocols are typically aimed at providing high-speed, short-range, line-of-
sight, and point-to-point wireless data transfer.
• IrDA protocols use IrDA DATA as the data delivery mechanism, and IrDA CONTROL as
the controlling mechanism.

IrDA features
• Communication range of up to 1 meter, although a distance of 2 meters can
often be reached.
• A low-power option for communication up to 20 cm. This requires 10 times
less power than the full-power implementation.
• Bidirectional communication.
• Data transmission from 9600 bps to a maximum speed of 4 Mbps.

IEEE 802.15.4 - ZigBee
• Zigbee is a wireless technology developed as an open global standard to address the
unique needs of low-cost, low-power wireless IoT networks.
• The Zigbee standard operates on the IEEE 802.15.4 protocol
• The protocol allows devices to communicate in a variety of network topologies and
can have battery life lasting several years.
• ZigBee is a low tier, ad hoc, terrestrial, wireless standard in some ways similar to
Bluetooth.
• The IEEE 802.15.4 standard is commonly known as ZigBee, but ZigBee has some
features in addition to those of 802.15.4.
• It operates in the 868 MHz, 915 MHz and 2.4 GHz ISM bands.

Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN)
• A Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN) is a special purpose sensor network
designed to operate autonomously to connect various medical sensors and
appliances, located inside and outside of a human body.
• A body area network (BAN), also referred to as a wireless body area
network (WBAN) or a body sensor network (BSN) or a medical body area
network (MBAN), is a wireless network of wearable computing devices.
• BAN devices may be embedded inside the body as implants, may be surface-
mounted on the body in a fixed position, or may be accompanied devices which
humans can carry in different positions, such as in clothes pockets, by hand, or in
various bags.
