A bit info on MANET (Mobile Ad hoc Networks) ….
21
MANET IntroductionMobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) are basically peer-to-peermultihop mobile wireless networks that
have neither fixed communication infrastructure nor any base stations (BSs) nor any base stations (BSs).
Control is more complex due to its ad hoc nature and mobility.Unlike the typical Internet, which has dedicated nodes for basic network operations such as authorization, routing, packet forwarding, and network management, all these functions should be performed by all MNs themselves in MANETs.
Efficient routing of packets is a primary MANET challenge. MANETs use multihop rather than single-hop routing to deliver
22
M N s use u t op at e t a s g e op out g to de ve packets to their destination.
12
RoutingConventional networks typically rely on distance-vector or link-state algorithms, which depend on periodic broadcast advertisements of all routers to keep routing tables up-to-date. I MANET l th l ith hi h In some cases, MANETs also use these algorithms, which ensure that the route to every host is always known. However, this approach presents several problems:
periodically updating the network topology increases bandwidth overhead; repeatedly awakening hosts to receive and send information quickly exhausts batteries; the propagation of routing information which depends on the
23
the propagation of routing information, which depends on the number of existing hosts, causes overloading, thereby reducing scalability; redundant routes accumulate needlessly; communication systems often cannot respond to dynamic changes in the network topology quickly enough.
On-demand Routing Algorithms
Rather than relying on periodical broadcasts of available routes, called proactive, a re-active algorithm p gdiscovers routes is needed. Because the route to every mobile node is not known at any given time, these algorithms must build and maintain routes. Two representative MANET re-active algorithms:
DSR: data source routing
24
gAODV: ad-hoc distance vector

Bluetooth

Main references:IEEE Std 802.15.1, “Information Technology — Telecommunications and Information Exchange between Systems — Local and Metropolitan Area Networks — Specific Requirements Part 15.1: Wireless Medium Access Control (MAC) and Physical Layer (PHY) Specifications for Wireless Personal Area Networks (WPANs),” 2002.
Bluetooth
Bluetooth is a standard for wireless communications. Bluetooth is an infrastructure less short-range wireless
d d l h bl b lsystem intended to replace the cable between electronic user terminals with RF links. The devices can also be used for communications between portable computers, act as bridges between other networks, or serve as nodes of ad hoc networks. This range of applications is known as wireless personal
26
area network (WPAN). Bluetooth devices use the 2.4 GHz band, which is unlicensed in most countries.
14
Piconet
The Bluetooth topology is a star network where a master node can have up to seven slave nodes wirelessly connected to it to form a piconet. Pi t i th i l t fi ti f Bl t th t kPiconet is the simplest configuration of a Bluetooth network.Each piconet uses a centrally assigned time-division multiple access (TDMA) schedule and frequency hopping pattern. Transmission power is typically around 20 dBm and the transmission range is on the order of tens of meters.
27
ScatternetPiconets may be connected together, thus forming a scatternet.A scatternet supports multihop.
i.e., two nodes can communicate with each other even if there is no direct connection between them by using other nodes as relays direct connection between them by using other nodes as relays.
Two piconets can communicate by means of a common node belonging to both of them. A node can be a master in one piconet at most and a slave in several others.

IEEE 802.16WiMAX is the commercialization of the IEEE 802.16 standard,
Started at the National Institute of Standards and Technologies (NIST) in 1998 and then transferred to the IEEE to form Working Group 802.16.
h k l f h lIn June 2004, the working group won approval for the latest 802.16 standard for fixed wireless access, known as IEEE 802.16-2004. In December 2005, an extension that addresses mobility also won approval as IEEE 802.16e-2005.
Specifies the air interface, including the medium access control layer (MAC) and physical layer (PHY), of fixed point-to-multipoint (PMP) and Mesh broadband wireless access systems providing multiple services

Bandwidth Request and AllocationSSs make bandwidth requests to the BS in many ways:
Implicit requests (UGS): No actual messages, negotiated at connection setup
BS grants/allocates bandwidth in one of two modes:
pSend a standalone MAC message called ”BW request” in an allready granted slot (allocated via polling service).Use the ”contention request opportunities” interval, e.g., upon being polled by the BS (multicast or broadcast poll).Piggyback a BW request message on a data packet.
53
Grant Per Subscriber Station (GPSS)Grant Per Connection (GPC)
Decision based on requested bandwidth and QoS requirements vs the available resources at BS.Grants are realized through the UL-MAP.

Q&A
Motivation
Radio spectrum is very limited, we have only 10-25MHz dedicated to wireless communication. h b d d h ll h l fSuch narrow bandwidth allows 100-400 channels of
reasonable quality, which is not rational and commercially not profitable to develop network for such small number of mobile subscribers.
Then the cellular idea: division of the whole geographical area to relatively small cells, and each cell ma reuse the same frequencies b reducing power of
62
may reuse the same frequencies by reducing power of transmission. Each cell has its own antenna (base station), and all base stations are interconnected using microwave or cable communication.
32
A bit of historyOnce upon a time there was analog cellular communication
didn’t support encryption, compression, and ISDN pp yp pcompatibility; in addition each country (company) developed its own system, which was incompatible with everyone else’s in equipment and operation.
So, in early 80s Europeans realized that pan-European public mobile system should be developed. The new system had to meet certain criteria:
63
system had to meet certain criteria: Good subjective speech quality Low terminal and service cost International roaming ISDN compatibility Digital
Cellular Network Organization
Areas divided into cellsEach cell served by its own base station consisting ofbase station consisting of transmitter, receiver, and control unit,Cells set up such that antennas of all neighbors are equidistant (hexagonal pattern)
64
33
Frequency Reuse
Adjacent cells are assigned different frequencies to avoid interference or crosstalk
b f b llObjective is to reuse frequency in nearby cells10 to 50 frequencies assigned to each cellTransmission power controlled to limit power at that frequency escaping to adjacent cells.The issue is to determine how many cells must intervene between two cells using the same frequency.
65
Examples
66
N=4 N=7
34
Frequency reuse
Reuse Distance (D): minimum distance between centres of cells that use the same band of frequencies (co-channels)
67
Increasing Capacity
Adding new channelsFrequency borrowing – frequencies are taken from d ll b d lladjacent cells by congested cells
Cell splitting – cells in areas of high usage can be split into smaller cellsCell sectoring – cells are divided into a number of wedge-shaped sectors, each with their own set of channels. Directional Antennas must be used in this case.
68
Microcells – a decrease in cell size results in a reduction of the radiated power levels.
35
Example: Microcells
Area: 213 km2 , Bandwidth: 336 channels per cluster, cells per cluster: N=7
Number of channels per cell is 336/7=48If cell radius R=1.6 km, then 32 total cells,
Total channel capacity is 48 x 32 = 1536If cell radius R=0.6 km, then 128 cells
Total channel capacity is 48 x128 =6144 channels
69Total cells: 32 Total cells: 128

Q&A
Cellular Networks: GenerationsOnce upon a time there was analog cellular communication – 1st G2nd Generation (2G): digital, early 80s, GSM2.5G or GPRS: 140.8 kb/s in theory, 56 kb/s in practice2.75G or E-GPRS or EDGE (Enhanced Data Rates for GSM Evolution): 180 kbps effective3G:
UMTS using WCDMA supports 14Mbps in theory. 384 kbps, or 3.6 Mbps for HSDPA handsets;
• O2, 3, Orange, AT&T, HK, Taiwan, etc.• Different countries use diff. frequencies, thus diff. handsets
CDMA-2000: (2.5G+3G), e.g., China Unicom
74
TD-SCDMA at China; to avoid patent fees3.5G: UMTS is being upgraded to High Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA): up to 7.2 Mb/s. 3.99G/4G: the 3GPP Long Term Evolution (LTE) project plans to move UMTS to 4G: 100 Mb/s downlink and 50 Mb/s uplink, using OFDM.
38
3GPP: 3rd Generation Partnership Project
Established in Dec. 1998, 3GPP is a collaboration between groups of telco associations from across the g pworld, such as ETSI (Europe), ARIB/TTC (Japan), China, North America, South Korea, etc. Its aim it to make a globally applicable 3G mobile phone system specification within the scope of the ITU’s International Mobile Telecommunications (IMT)-2000 project.
75
It evolves current GSM systems. Note: different from 3GPP2, which is another 3G technology based on IS-95 (CDMA), commonly known as CDMA2000.

Less obvious at first glance
Mobile WiMAX 20MHz is coming!LTE has two TDD modes with different frame structures:
pressure is on to reduce on a single one “TDSCDMA successor mode”pressure is on to reduce on a single one TDSCDMA successor modethis may pre-empt natural selection and resultant could go head to head with WiMAX TDD profile
SC-FDMA in the Uplink?WiMAX OFDMA has a peak-mean ratio of approx 10dBLTE SC-FDMA has lower peak-mean ratio: approx 5dB
∴ LTE terminal battery life should be betterHigh speed packet data rate claims:

High speed packet data rate claims:regardless of air interface, divide the theory or marketing by 3 for deployable peak base station throughputs for wide area coverage

Longer Term Perspective
Improvements in technology performance and resulting link budget (e.g. 802.16m) can give advantage to WiMAX particularly for Greenfield operators – but LTE will have advantage of 3GPP h iheritageLater capacity limited scenarios are more favourable to mobile WiMAX and LTE – mainly in urban areas – but greater competition from e.g. WiFi hotspots3GPP and 3GPP2 networks migrate towards OFDMA technology (e.g. LTE, CDMA Rev. C)This may lead to further market consolidation, depending on

Femto CellAlso called Access Point Base StationNo dual-mode handset needed, existing handset is fine.A femto cell is a small cellular base station, typically for indoors, especially where access would otherwise be limited or unavailable. The femtocell incorporates the functionality of a typical base station but extends it to allow a simpler, self contained deploymentAlthough much attention is focussed on UMTS, the concept is applicable to other network technologies, such as GSM, CDMA2000, TD-SCDMA, WiMAX. Attractions to mobile operators: to improve both coverage and
