Introduction (1)
Multiple Access:
Enable many mobile users to share simultaneously radio
spectrum.

Provide for the sharing of channel capacity between a
number of transmitters at different locations.

Aim to share a channel between two or more signals in
such way that each signal can be received without
interference from another.

Introduction (3)
In conventional telephone systems, it is possible to
talk and listen simultaneously, called duplexing.
Duplexing
Allow the possibility of talking and listening simultaneously.
Frequency Division Duplex (FDD)
Provides two distinct bands of frequencies for every user

Time Division Duplex (TDD)
Multiple users share a signal channel by taking turns in time domain
Each duplexing channel has both a forward time slot and a reverse time
slot to facilitate bidirectional communication.

Features of FDMA
If an FDMA channel is not in sue, then it sits idle and cant
be used by other users.

Transmit simultaneously and continuously.

FDMA is usually implemented in narrowband systems.
Its symbol time is large as compared to the average delay spread.

Features of FDMA (Cont.)
For continuous transmission, fewer bits are needed for
overhead purposes (such as synchronization and framing
bits) as compared to TDMA.

FDMA uses duplexers since both TX and RX operate at
the same time.

Only one transmitter is allowed to transmit at a
time.

regular.

TDMA systems divide the radio spectrum into time slots.
Each user occupies a cyclically repeating time slot.

Transmit data in a buffer-and-burst method, thus the
transmission for any user is not continuous.

TDMA Frame Structure (Cont.)
In TDMA, the preamble contains the address and
synchronization information that both the base station
and the mobiles use to identify each other.

Different TDMA standards have different TDMA frame
structures.

Wireless Access Tech. Lab.
Features of TDMA (Cont.)

Share a single carrier frequency with several users.

Data transmission is not continuous, but occurs in bursts.

No duplexers is required since users employ different
time slots for transmission and reception.

TDMA can allocate different numbers of time slots per
frame to different users, allowing bandwidth be supplied
on demand to different users.

Features of CDMA
Many users of a CDMA system share the same frequency.

The symbol (chip) duration is very short and usually much
less than the channel delay spread.

The near-far problem occurs at a CDMA RX if an
undesired user has a high detected power as compared to
the desired user.

A transmission technique in which a PN code,
independent of information data, is employed as a
modulation waveform to spread the signal energy
over a bandwidth much greater than the signal
information bandwidth.

At the receiver the signal is despread using a
synchronized replica of the PN code.

Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS)
A carrier is modulated by a digital code in which the code
bit rate is much larger than the information signal bit rate.
These systems are also called pseudo-noise systems.

Also called code division multiple access (CDMA)

A short code system uses a PN code length equal to a
data symbol.

A long system uses a PN code length that is much longer
than a data symbol.

The available wideband spectrum is divided into a number of
subspectras with smaller bandwidths.
Each of these smaller suchannels becomes a narrowband
CDMA system having processing gain lower than the original
CDMA system.

Packet Radio (1)
In packet radio (PR) access techniques, many subscribers
attempt to access a single channel in an uncoordinated (or
minimally coordinated manner.

Collision from the simultaneous transmissions of multiple
transmitters are detected at the BS, in which case an ACK or
NACK signal is broadcast by the BS to alert the desired user of
received transmission.

PR multiple access is very easy to implement but has low
spectral efficiency and may include delays.

The subscribers use a contention technique to transmit on a
common channel.
Wireless Access Tech. Lab.
CCU
Wireless Access Tech. Lab.
Packet Radio (2)
ALOHA protocols, developed for early satellite systems, allow
each subscriber to transmit whenever they have data to sent.

The transmitting subscribers listen to the acknowledgement
feedback to determine if transmission has been successful or
not.

If a collision occurs, the subscriber waits a random amount of
time, and then transmits the packet.

The performance of contention techniques can be evaluated by
throughput (T), which is defined as the average number of
message successfully transmitted per unit time, and the average
delay (D) experienced by a typical message burst.

Packet Radio (4)
Assume that packet transmissions occur with Poisson
distribution having mean arrival rate of packets per second
and is the packet duration in seconds. The traffic occupancy
or throughput R is given by .

R is the normalized channel traffic (measured in Erlangs) and if
R > 1, then the packets generated by the users exceed the
maximum transmission rate of the channel. For reasonable
throughput, 0 < R < 1.

Under normal loading, the throughput T is the same as the total
offered load L.

The load L is the sum of the newly generated packets and the
retransmitted packets that suffered collisions.

population during a given packet duration interval is assumed to

Type of Access
Contention protocols are categorized as:
Random Access: there is no coordination among that users and
the messages are transmitted from the users as they arrive at
the transmitter.

Scheduled Access: based on a coordinated access of users on
the channel and the users transmit messages within allotted
slots or time intervals.

Hybird Access: a combination of random access and scheduled.

Pure ALOHA
The pure ALOHA protocol is random access protocol used for
data transfer and a user accesses a channel as soon as a
message is ready to be transmitted.
After a transmission, the user waits for an acknowledgment on
either the same channel or a separate feedback channel.
In case of collisions, the terminal waits for a random period of
time and retransmits the message.
For pure ALOHA, the vulnerable period is double the packet
duration: ,

Packet Radio (8)
Slotted ALOHA
In slotted ALOHA, time is divided into equal time slots of
length greater than the packet duration .
The subscribers each have synchronized clocks and transmit
a message only at the beginning of a new time slot.
The vulnerable period of slotted ALOHA is only one packet
duration, since partial collisions are prevented through
synchronization.
The probability that no other packets will be generated
during the vulnerable period is .
The throughput for the case of slotted ALOHA is thus given
by .

Carrier Sense Multiple Access (CSMA)
CSMA protocols are based on the fact that each terminal on
the network is able to monitor the status of the channel
before transmitting information.

In CSMA, detection delay and propagation delay are two
important parameters.
Detection delay is a function of he receiver hardware and is the
time required for a terminal to sense whether or not the
channel is idle.
Propagation delay is a relative measure of how fast it takes for
a packet to travel from a BS to a MS.
