HISTORY OF MOBILE ”TELEPHONY”
2013-05-06 Ove Edfors - ETI 051 4
HISTORYThe short version
1959 - First automatic mobile telefony system in Stockholm. ’The Phone’ weighs 40 kg and costs as much as a car.
1981 - NMT (Nordic Mobile Telephony) starts in the nordic countries and Saudi Arabia.
1989 - First GSM-system (Global System for Mobile Telephony) starts in Germany.
2001 - First WCDMA-system (Wide-band Code-division Multiple Access) starts in Japan.

HISTORYGenerations
Analog technology.Examples are NMT in the nordiccountries and AMPS in North America.
No data communication.
Digital technology.Examples are GSM (first in Europe) and CdmaOne in North America.
Slow data communication.New enhancements haveincreased datarate to50-100 kbit/sec. Still evolving!
Digital technology.Examples are WCDMA (Europe) and Cdma2000 (North America).
Focus on both speech and data/multimedia.Initially up to 2 Mbit/sec. Evolvingtowards higher data rates!

The MS transmits to the BS three time-slots after itreceives a transmission from the BS.
Using this strategy, the duplex scheme is a combinationof TDD and FDD, and the MS avoids simultaneous transmissionand reception.

GSMChannel coding of speech
The speech code bits are in three categories, with different levelsof protection against channel errors.

GSMGPRS and EDGE
GSM has evolved into a high-speed packet radio system in two steps
GPRS General Packet Radio Serviceswhere empty time slots can be usedto transmit data packets.Four new coding schemes are used(CS-1, ..., CS-4) with different levelsof protection.
EDGE Enhanced Data-rate for GSM Evolutionwhere, in addition to GPRS, a new8PSK modulation is introduced.Eight new modulation and coding schemesare used (MCS-1, ..., MCS-8) withdifferent levels of protection.

Linear 8-PSK ... but with rotation of signal constellation for each symbol
We avoid transitionsclose to origin, thusgetting a lower amplitudevariation!

WCDMADirect-Sequence CDMA
What we learned during Lecture 9:
data
spreadingcode
spread spectrum signal
In WCDMA we do this a bit different:
data
spreadingcode
spread spectrum signal
scrambling
Users/channels are separated by different codes.
The total spreading is a combination of spreading and
scrambling.
2013-05-06 Ove Edfors - ETI 051 25
WCDMAChannelization and scrambling
data
channelizationcode
spread spectrum signal
scrambling
The different channelization/spreading
codes are orthogonal and have different spreading factors
between 4 and 512.
Scrambling makes thetotal spreading (spreading +
scrambling) uniquebetween different
sources.
2013-05-06 Ove Edfors - ETI 051 26
WCDMAOrthogonal Variable Spreading Factor
The OVSF codes used for variable rate spreading can be viewedas a code tree.
We can create several orthogonal channels by picking spreading codesfrom different branches of the tree.

Transmit power and generated interference to
others vary accordingly.

WCDMAData rate and interference
In simple words, with a limited interference allowed, we can havemany low data-rate channels or a few high data-rate channels.

The interferencelevel also varieswith propagationloss, which makespower controlimportant!

Since all base stations used the same frequency band, a terminalclose to the cell boundary can receive “the same” signal from more thanone base station and increase the quality of the received signal.
